Audeze LCD-S20 Planar Magnetic Headphones
The Audeze LCD-S20 is a premium closed-back planar magnetic headphone engineered specifically to meet the rigorous demands of tracking, recording, and critical studio listening. Combining low-distortion 90mm planar drivers with Audeze's patent-pending SLAM™ technology, the LCD-S2O raises the bar for closed-back performance.
Built with tracking and recording environments in mind, the LCD-S20 utilizes carefully engineered acoustic damping. This design provides superior bidirectional passive noise reduction, blocking out distracting external ambient noise for the listener while effectively preventing headphone bleed from ruining sensitive microphone takes.
The LCD-S20 is the first Audeze headphone to feature magnetically attached earpads. Combined with a premium leather suspension strap, this modular design ensures long-lasting comfort during long tracking sessions and allows for quick, effortless replacement and customisation.
