LCD-5?

 

[Fegefeuer]

well, most of you guys will use your custom LCD-4 cables anyway.

 

[EMINENT]

wow wow wee wa

 

[Swisstoni]

I like the wood color and the Black Grills.
The old headband looked better imo

The cable looks alarmingly thin and fragile.

Looks like there is still felt between the ear peace and the ear cups !!!

Definitely.
Glad that they use Mini XLR

 

[Fegefeuer]

No better connector than that.

 

[Axel]

Well, it certainly looks like an Audeze LCD, no major exterior design changes. I just hope it doesn't weight ~700gr like its predecessor...

BTW, the cables looks similar (if not identical) to those on my LCD-4z.

 

[Barone Birra]

It looks like 420 gr... (hard to believe, tho)

14 Ohm impedance O.o
90db/mW

That one loves current. Pretty happy with my speaker amp now

4500$ will likely translate into 5000€ like with the CRBN (which is weird since the LCD-4 is also 5000€)

5K LCD-4 ? Why ?

 

[ThanatosVI]

5K LCD-4 ? Why ?

Europe, greed and profit margins.

Exactly the same reason why Solitaire P costs over 6000$ in the US while it's only 4800€ over here.

I do like the LCD-5 Design. The headband takes some getting used to (I really liked the old one) the pads seem interestingly different.

It's 3853 EUR in my country, also Europe. and CRBN is going for 4564 EUR. I'm guessing the LCD-5 will sell for the same.

Also I'd like to give those pads a try on my LCD-X
