Incorporating the latest technical advancements, the new LCD-5s rewards listeners with a vast, immersive soundscape and palpably physical bass response. A new driver design combines with SLAM technology to deliver mastering-grade precision that surpasses the original LCD-5, with a more natural, lifelike frequency response. Redesigned earpads are precisely sculpted to ensure long-term comfort and an improved seal.

Engineered for Effortless Realism

To present the most natural frequency response possible, LCD-5s uses a new driver design featuring exceptionally thin, highly responsive materials. The nano-scale Parallel Uniforce diaphragm connects to a revised chassis structure, enabling extremely precise midrange tuning.

SLAM — Punch, Detail, Presence

LCD-5s delivers powerful, extended bass response and a strikingly open soundstage, made possible by pinpoint driver control achieved through the addition of SLAM technology.

Elegant Design

Sophisticated copper accents highlight outstanding handcrafted material quality, featuring carbon fiber, magnesium, genuine leather, and polished polymer acetate.

New Earpad Geometry

The smoothly flowing, curved forms of the new LCD-5s earpads are crafted to provide effortless comfort for hours of listening. This design also minimizes audible reflections to enhance sonic accuracy.

Ultra High-Purity Cable

LCD-5s includes a premium cable specially tuned with directional OCC high-purity copper strands, providing a low-capacitance, low-resistance signal path that maintains exceptional sonic precision and accuracy.
