LCD-S20

Audeze's new closed-back headphone offers powerful, dynamic bass with deep punch that stays clean even at high volumes, thanks to their latest patent-pending breakthrough — SLAM. This technology also improves the detail and spatial imaging to deliver vividly lifelike sound. Acoustically dampened earcups block out external noise and prevent microphone bleed.

LCD-S20 becomes Audeze's most affordable LCD headphone, creating new opportunities for budding producers, musicians, and audiophiles in need of acoustic isolation to access studio-trusted sound quality. 

Planar Magnetic with SLAM

SLAM, short for symmetric linear acoustic modulator, is a new, patent-pending technology introduced on Audeze's flagship CRBN2 electrostatic headphone.

LCD-S20 combines Audeze's low-distortion planar drivers and the advanced tuning of their SLAM technology to raise the bar for bass performance and immersive realism in a closed-back.

Closed-Back Sound Isolation

Suited for tracking and recording, LCD-S20 features carefully engineered acoustic damping for superior bidirectional passive noise reduction.

The exceptional transient/impulse response of Audeze's planar magnetic drivers means you’ll easily perceive the timing of the click track or the snare drum to help keep you on time. The excellent passive noise reduction prevents microphone bleed and protects your hearing.

Comfortable, Stylish and Convenient

LCD-S20 is the first Audeze headphone to offer magnetically attached earpads, which along with the leather suspension strap, allow for quick and easy replacement and customization. The adjustable leather suspension headband and supple gel-filled earpads provide hours of listening in luxurious comfort.

LCD-S20 is built from premium magnesium, aluminum, and steel to ensure long-lasting performance. Stylish cloth-covered earcups treated with acoustic dampening provide heightened isolation from external noise, for relaxed listening in any environment.
