Clarity and control through planar magnetic precision
The LCD-S20 harnesses Audeze’s advanced planar magnetic driver technology to deliver unmatched sonic clarity and speed. These drivers provide an incredibly flat frequency response, capturing the finest details and transient responses with minimal distortion. Each component is engineered to maintain audio integrity from the softest note to the most intense peaks, ensuring you hear every nuance in your recordings or mixes with confidence.
SLAM bass for dynamic low-end response
Using Audeze’s proprietary SLAM™ technology, the LCD-S20 produces bass that is not only powerful, but also tight and controlled. This prevents low-end muddiness and ensures accurate dynamics, which are essential when monitoring kick drums, basslines, and sub-heavy soundscapes. Even at high volumes, the sound remains clean, helping you stay focused on your mix or fully immersed in playback without sacrificing quality.
Superior noise isolation for accurate monitoring
Closed-back and acoustically treated, the earcups on the LCD-S20 isolate the listener from outside distractions and contain audio to prevent microphone bleed. This makes them well-suited for vocal tracking, critical listening, or working in shared spaces. The treated interior helps maintain a neutral sound profile, offering natural reproduction without the typical boxy sound of some closed designs.
Designed for comfort during long sessions
The LCD-S20 is built for extended use without fatigue. Its adjustable leather suspension headband distributes weight evenly, while gel-filled earpads conform to your head for a snug yet breathable fit. The combination of magnesium and aluminium provides strength while keeping the overall weight low, making these headphones comfortable even during long recording or editing sessions.
Universal connectivity without compromise
With an 18-ohm impedance, the LCD-S20 offers plug-and-play compatibility across a broad range of devices. Whether you’re using a dedicated audio interface, a professional mixing desk, a laptop, or a smartphone with an adapter, these headphones deliver consistent, high-fidelity performance. There’s no need for external amplification, which simplifies your workflow in studio or mobile setups.
Premium build with modular components
The LCD-S20 is precision-machined using durable metals, and it features magnetically attached ear pads for easy replacement or upgrades. This user-friendly design extends the product’s lifespan and allows for personalisation as your needs evolve. Every detail reflects Audeze’s commitment to build quality and long-term value.
From tracking and mixing to critical listening and immersive enjoyment, the Audeze LCD-S20 offers a refined closed-back experience. It delivers a perfect combination of technical performance, comfort, and isolation, trusted by professionals who demand results with every session.
