Bloom's Take
LCD-5 is a big step forward for Audeze on a number of fronts. It’s lighter and more comfortable than its predecessors along with having a smooth, sleek visual design. From a technical standpoint, it’s more efficient, opening up more options for enjoying flagship level sound quality, and it’s tuned to provide a more refined take on the classic Audeze sound with incredible depth and transparency. Basically, LCD-5 is a masterclass on evolving a beloved flagship product: Audeze maintained its core values while taking its design and performance to the next level.

Transparency, Resolution and Speed

The LCD-5 sets a new standard for accuracy using a new driver design with Audeze’s own patent-pending Parallel Uniforce voice coils and new magnet assembly. LCD-5 represents a completely new design made specifically for minimal reflections, improved frequency response, and a more open yet accurate soundstage.

LCD-5’s impedance is 14 Ohms, sensitivity is 90dB, and it weighs just 420 grams (1/3 less than the LCD-4!). Handcrafted in California, USA, the LCD-5 has been meticulously engineered to provide unmatched audio for industry professionals and audiophiles alike. 

The LCD-5 features Audeze’s patented core technologies, and comes with new acoustically designed leather earpads, an improved and luxurious carbon fiber suspension headband, deep “tortoise shell” acetate rings, all-new magnesium housing, plus our latest premium audio cable made with high-purity copper, and an aluminum travel case.
