Audeze announces the new LCD-S20 headphones

The company sells headphones that are well over $5,000, but don’t get that second mortgage just yet. The Audeze LCD-S2 costs $499, and they’re available to buy now. They’re a pair of planar magnetic headphones. This means that the diaphragm sits between two rows of magnets. When the current travels through the magnets, the magnetic field causes the diaphragm to move back and forth, disturbing the air. This creates the sound waves.

What makes the LCD-S20 different is the fact that they’re the first planar magnetic headphones to use Audeze’s proprietary SLAM technology. SLAM stands for “Symmetric Linear Acoustic Modulator.” Introduced in 2024, SLAM boosts the lower frequencies through precisely tuned channels. So, you should expect to hear fuller and richer bass compared to other headphones in their price range.

That bass will sound great through the 90mm drivers. The company built then right in its Southern California factory. This way, the company had total control over the manufacturing process. Audeze included innovations such as Fluxor magnets, Fazor waveguides, and Uniforce voice coils to create the ultimate listening experience.

Priced for success

If you’re a professional audio engineer, then you’ve probably heard about how great Audeze’s LCD headphones are. Well, if the price was stopping you from picking up a pair, then the LCD-S20 should be on your radar. Their $499 price tag makes then the more affordable oft he LCD headphones.

They’re closed-back headphones that are designed for detailed playback. The SLAM technology not only augments the bass, but it also gives you a more accurate and precise sound stage. So, if you’re mastering your mix or just relaxing to some music, you’ll love using them.

The affordable price point brings Audeze’s SLAM technology to a broader audience. So, that should make them a more compelling offering.

Build for comfort and longevity

The Audeze LCD-S20 come with soft, high-quality synthetic leather earpads that will sit comfortably on your head. They’ll feel like pillows are resting on your head, and you’ll enjoy wearing them for hours on end. There’s also a soft head strap that will sit gently on your head. These are extremely comfortable headphones.

What makes them better is that they’re user-replaceable. So, if anything happens to them, you won’t have to shell out for another pair.

The Audeze LCD-S20 are built on same chassis that we saw with the Maxwell headset back in 2022. They use aluminum, glass-infused nylon, and woven cloth. There’s no doubt that Audeze delivered a high-quality pair of headphones.
