Audeze Unveils LCD-S20 Closed-Back Planar Headphones

The introduction of Audeze’s proprietary Symmetric Linear Acoustic Modulator (SLAM) technology marks a significant advancement in the LCD-S20. SLAM enhances low-frequency performance while maintaining linear diaphragm movement, resulting in deeper, more natural bass and improved clarity across the soundstage. This technology, previously seen in Audeze’s high-end electrostatic models, now elevates the planar magnetic experience with the LCD-S20.

Additional features include a new magnetic earpad attachment system for quick and tool-free pad replacements, as well as a detachable single-sided cable that allows flexible routing for various setups. Built on the same robust chassis as the Maxwell Gaming Headset, the LCD-S20 incorporates a spring-steel headband, forged aluminum yokes, and durable glass-infused nylon components. The elegant woven cloth earcups not only enhance the aesthetic but also contribute to superior acoustic damping.

Set to release on April 11, 2025, the Audeze LCD-S20 represents a compelling option for those seeking high-resolution, closed-back headphones with cutting-edge technology and exceptional build quality. With its blend of technical prowess and comfortable design, the LCD-S20 is poised to become a favorite among discerning listeners.
