Audeze's new top of the range

Audeze introduces LCD-5, a new standard for precision from its award-winning Fluxor magnets and updated Fazor waveguides, along with new patent-pending Parallel Uniforce™ coils. 

The headphones have been completely re-designed for minimal resonance and acoustic rebound, improving the frequency response and achieving a more open and precise acoustic scene. They have an impedance of 14 Ohm, a sensitivity of 90 dB and their weight is only 420 grams.

Its leather ear pads also benefit from an acoustic re-design, the headband with premium carbon fiber suspension has been improved and the cup rings are made of “tortoiseshell” acetate. The casing is made of magnesium and it is also equipped with the latest Audeze premium audio cable and aluminum travel case.

90mm Audeze Planar Magnetic Drivers

Fluxor™ magnets with nano-scale diaphragm offer the ultimate in control of diaphragm movement

Parallel Uniforce™ voice coils for ultra-low distortion that is inaudible at virtually any SPL

Extremely fast dynamic response and wide frequency response

Diaphragm created with a material thinner than a red blood cell

Advantages of Fazor™ Waveguides, Parallel Uniforce™ Voice Coils and Fluxor™ Magnets

Improved efficiency and control of diaphragm movement

The diaphragm offers drastically reduced distortion, especially at high frequencies

Accurate phase response, neutral frequency response and exact acoustic scene

The variation in single-trace parallel widths balance the magnetic force on the diaphragm

Patented process offers the most precise coil pattern available today

Reduced interference from sound waves

Sculpted pads

Better seal on a wider variety of skull shapes for long-lasting comfort

Reduction of parallel surfaces to reduce resonance and improve frequency response

Less foam than other LCD pads for less frequency absorption

Inclined inner foam adapts more easily to the surface around the user's ear

New acoustic pad design with upper midrange response

New premium audio cable

Guarantees an extreme level of detail, ensuring that signal quality is not lost between the amplifier and headphones

Expanded bass and treble frequencies with greater sound transparency

Single-crystal copper transmitters, directionally oriented for better conductivity

Premium quality connectors for a solid, long-lasting connection

Specifically designed ultra-high purity OCC Copper cable material
