audeze lcd s20 headphones review incredibly fun sound but a little less ...
Audeze is bringing its creative "SLAM" technology to more affordable headphones with the LCD-S20, a pair of closed-back, planar magnetic headphones that provide an incredibly fun and punchy listening experience in an ultra-premium package. I personally like them more than the Audeze headphones I used before, but a higher price tag and other compromises make the LCD-S20 a little less accessible to casual listeners looking to break into the "audiophile" space. £499 at Amazon £499 at Peter Tyson
Pros
- A beautiful design made with high-quality materials
- Fun and dynamic sound quality with punchy bass
- Closed-back design provides better isolation
- Still works with a wide variety of devices and setups
Cons
- Feels like a worse value than the Audeze MM-100
- Slightly subdued highs
