Audeze's pinnacle planar magnetic headphone, the LCD-5 achieves remarkable sonic clarity through meticulously engineered components: proprietary Fluxor magnets and Parallel Uniforce™ voice coils work in concert to suppress distortion while custom Fazor waveguides and acoustically transparent mesh deliver precise imaging and expansive soundstage definition. The magnesium and carbon-fiber chassis weighs merely 420 grams, enabling extended listening sessions without listener fatigue. Sculpted earpads optimize both acoustic performance and comfort during prolonged use. Hand-assembled in California with premium leather construction and accompanied by a specially calibrated XLR cable with single-ended adapter, the LCD-5 establishes a new standard for professional-grade accuracy and sonic resolution.
