Excellent condition; exceptionally lightly used for approximately 12 hours and cosmetically near-new. Fully tested before listing, with clean, even playback from both channels.

It includes the original balanced 4-pin XLR cable, 4-pin XLR-to-1/4-inch stereo adapter, aluminum travel case, documentation, accessories still in their original bags, and the original Audeze factory carton with its custom foam insert.

The LCD-5 represents Audeze’s reference-level approach to open-back planar magnetic headphones: an exceptionally resolving, technically sophisticated design built for serious two-channel listening, critical listening, and professional monitoring with a suitable headphone amplifier.

Transparency, resolution, and control

The LCD-5 combines Audeze’s Fluxor magnet array, low-profile Fazor waveguides, and Parallel Uniforce voice-coil design. Together, these technologies are engineered to provide precise diaphragm control, exceptionally low distortion, fast transient response, and the high level of resolution expected from a flagship planar magnetic headphone.

Clarity and imaging

Its carefully engineered acoustic chamber, acoustically transparent mesh, and sculpted earpads are designed to reduce unwanted reflections and resonance. The result is an open, spacious presentation with highly precise imaging and fine low-level detail retrieval.

Premium materials and long-session comfort

Despite its full-size 90 mm planar magnetic drivers, the LCD-5 weighs only 420 g. The chassis combines magnesium, aluminum, acetate, carbon fiber, and premium leather to balance rigidity, low weight, and long-term comfort. The internally sloped earpads help establish a natural listening position and a secure, comfortable seal.

Premium balanced cable and adapter

The included Audeze premium balanced 4-pin XLR cable is paired with the factory 4-pin XLR-to-1/4-inch stereo adapter, providing flexible connection to both balanced headphone amplifiers and conventional 1/4-inch headphone outputs.
