The LCD S20 enters the Audeze Lineup at just $500. Can this headphone compete at more than just studio use? You can find more information out at my links below
The Audeze LCD S20 is a $500 closed-back planar that’s built like a tank, with strong isolation and an easy-to-drive 18 ohm load. For my taste it wasn’t very lively or exciting (especially for gaming), but I can see it making sense as a studio/reference-style headphone—possibly with a little EQ depending on what you’re hearing.
Pros
- +Excellent, robust build for the price (magnesium/aluminum/steel)
- +Good isolation for a closed-back
- +Easy to drive across dongles and amps
- +Comfortable fit with reasonable clamp and good cup tilt/swivel
- +Magnetic pads make pad swaps easy
Cons
- -Not very lively or engaging to my ears
- -2–3k region can sound a bit “off” (noticed on my vocals)
- -Intimate staging; not wide/open sounding
- -Gaming impact (explosions/dialogue) felt flat
- -Box contents are minimal (no case)
