Product Description:
Superior Sound Quality And Noise Isolation
The LCD-S20 introduces Audeze’s latest closed-back acoustic innovations, delivering extended low-frequency performance with punch, speed, and impact. Powered by the company’s patent-pending SLAM™ technology, the bass remains clean and controlled even at elevated listening levels. Acoustically dampened earcups block external noise and minimize microphone bleed, making the S20 ideal for home studios and mobile recording setups.
Professional-Trusted Clarity And Accuracy
For the first time, Audeze has applied the tuning philosophy of its famed studio models to an accessible closed-back headphone. The LCD-S20 offers the precision, resolution, and neutrality trusted in top recording rooms around the world—now tailored for creators seeking professional accuracy at a more attainable price.
Planar Magnetic With SLAM
Featuring Audeze’s newest advancements in planar technology, the LCD-S20 reproduces fine spatial details with impressive precision. Its powerful low end—driven by SLAM™ acoustic management—hits hard, dives deep, and stays free of muddiness while maintaining clarity across the spectrum.

Ideal For Tracking And Recording
Superior bidirectional passive noise reduction keeps sound from leaking into microphones, while low distortion performance protects hearing during long sessions. Planar magnetic impulse response ensures timing precision for musicians and creators who need to stay tightly synced with their tracks. The efficient 18-ohm impedance allows excellent performance from interfaces, mixers, laptops, and mobile devices.
Precision Crafted Design
Constructed from magnesium, aluminum, and steel, the LCD-S20 is engineered for years of reliable use. Magnetically attached earpads allow fast replacement and personalization, ensuring long-term comfort and adaptability as your workflow evolves.
Effortless Comfort
A leather suspension headband evenly distributes weight, while plush gel-filled earpads contour to the head for extended comfort. A detachable cable can be connected to either earcup for easy routing in studio or mobile setups.
