LCD-5s

Flagship Planar Headphones

Refinement. Precision. Luxury.

Incorporating our latest technical advancements, the new LCD-5s rewards listeners with a vast, immersive soundscape and palpably physical bass response. A. new driver design combines with SLAM technology to produce mastering-grade precision even better than the original LCD-5, with a more natural, lifelike frequency response. Redesigned earpads are precisely sculpted to ensure long-term comfort and improved seal.

Engineered for Effortless Realism

To present listeners the most natural frequency response, LCD-5s uses a new driver design featuring our thinnest, most responsive materials. The nano-scale Parallel Uniforce diaphragm connects to a revised chassis structure, allowing the most precise midrange tuning possible.

SLAM — Punch, Detail, Presence

LCD-5s offers powerful, extended bass response and a strikingly open soundstage, thanks to the pinpoint driver control allowed by the addition of SLAM technology.

Elegant Design

Sophisticated copper accents highlight the outstanding handcrafted material quality — featuring carbon fiber, magnesium, genuine leather, and polished polymer acetate.

New Earpad Geometry

The smoothly flowing, curved forms of LCD-5s' new earpads are crafted to provide effortless comfort for hours of listening. This design also minimizes audible reflections to elevate sonic accuracy.

Ultra High-Purity Cable

LCD-5s uses our most premium cable, specially tuned with directional OCC high-purity copper strands, to provide a low capacitance, low resistance signal path, maintaining unsurpassed sonic precision and accuracy.

“The LCD-5s is upgraded and improved beyond any reasonable expectation. It's better, bigger, smoother, wider, deeper, more articulate, and more comfortable.”
