Audeze LCD-5s Flagship Open-Back Planar Magnetic Headphones

The Audeze LCD-5s is the latest flagship open-back planar magnetic headphone, released in 2026 as an evolution of the acclaimed LCD-5. Incorporating patent-pending SLAM (Symmetric Linear Acoustic Modulator) technology, it delivers powerful, extended bass response with a more natural, lifelike frequency curve, enhanced midrange accuracy, and a vast, immersive soundstage. Featuring a redesigned 90mm driver with nano-scale Parallel Uniforce diaphragm, Fluxor magnet arrays, and Fazor phase management, the LCD-5s offers studio-grade precision, physical impact, and long-term listening comfort in a luxurious, handcrafted package.

SLAM Acoustic Technology

SLAM provides palpably physical bass extension and a more natural tonal balance, improving upon the LCD-5’s already exceptional low-end performance. Combined with updated driver tuning and redesigned earpads for better seal and comfort, the LCD-5s rewards listeners with deeper immersion, articulate transients, and lifelike spatial imaging — ideal for critical mixing, mastering, and audiophile listening.
