Hold onto your hats, those who appreciate high-fidelity audio! The titans of planar magnetic technology, Audeze, have just dropped a bombshell that's set to redefine the closed-back headphone experience. Say hello to the LCD-S20, the company's very first closed-back planar magnetic headphone to feature their groundbreaking SLAM (Spatial Low-Frequency Amplitude Matching) technology. Get ready for bass you can feel and spatial imaging that will transport you right into the heart of your music.
For years, Audeze has been synonymous with open-back headphones renowned for their exceptional clarity, detail, and immersive soundstages. While their open-back offerings have captivated listeners worldwide, the desire for a closed-back solution that could deliver similar sonic prowess, coupled with excellent isolation, has been a persistent whisper among those who appreciate high-fidelity audio. Audeze has not only heard that whisper, they've answered it with a resounding roar.
"With the LCD-S20, we’re bringing Audeze’s renowned studio-quality sound to a broader audience without compromising on innovation or performance. The integration of our SLAM technology is a leap forward in both audio fidelity and user experience. LCD-S20 is not just an entry point into the Audeze family; it's a testament to our commitment to making world-class audio accessible to everyone, from budding musicians to seasoned audiophiles.”
- Sankar Thiagasamudram, Audeze CEO.
The LCD-S20 isn't just another closed-back headphone; it's a technological marvel built upon Audeze's legacy of innovation. The integration of their proprietary SLAM technology is the real game-changer here. Traditionally, closed-back headphones have often struggled to deliver deep, impactful bass without sacrificing clarity or creating a congested soundstage. SLAM technology tackles this challenge head-on, promising unmatched low-frequency extension and articulation alongside a remarkably open and holographic spatial presentation – something rarely achieved in a closed-back design.
While the magic of SLAM is central, the LCD-S20 boasts other thoughtful design elements focused on user experience. It features a new magnetic earpad attachment system, a first for Audeze, allowing for quick and effortless swapping or replacement of the supple and supportive user-replaceable synthetic leather earpads. Comfort for long listening sessions is further ensured by the comfortable synthetic leather head strap. Adding to its versatility, the LCD-S20 sports a detachable single-sided cable that can be connected to either the left or right earcup, optimizing cable routing for individual preferences.
While Audeze is keeping the finer technical details close to their chest for now, we can expect the LCD-S20 to inherit the hallmarks of their renowned planar magnetic drivers.
Key Features:
• Lightning-fast transient response: Hear every nuance and subtle detail in your music with incredible precision.
• Extremely low distortion: Experience your music as the artist intended, without unwanted coloration or artifacts.
• Powerful and controlled bass: Thanks to SLAM technology, expect a low-end that's both visceral and detailed, providing a solid foundation for all genres of music.

Beyond the sonic innovations, we can also anticipate the premium build quality and luxurious comfort that Audeze is known for. Expect high-grade materials, meticulously crafted earcups for excellent isolation and comfort during long listening sessions, and a robust design that will stand the test of time. The announcement of the LCD-S20 marks a significant milestone for Audeze and for the world of high-end audio. It signifies their commitment to pushing the boundaries of headphone technology and addressing the needs of listeners who demand uncompromising sound quality in a versatile closed-back design.
