Offered is „LCD-5“ by Audeze as exhibit from the category „Headphone“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 4020348840 ends on 14.10.2026 at 09:11 o'clock.
The Audeze LCD-5 stands as the company’s current flagship planar, renowned for its re-engineered 90mm drivers and light 420g build. At €4,250, this listing sits just above the 75th percentile (€4,034) of your ground truth used market data, making the price ambitious rather than a bargain, though it remains competitive compared to typical open-box deals often seen near €3,200–€3,600.
Despite the higher ask, the LCD-5 is a worthwhile buy for its exceptional clarity, deep bass control, and efficient design that pairs well with varied amplification. This clean listing in good condition offers a rare opportunity to secure a top-tier model with original-owner integrity and included high-purity copper XLR cables, representing a solid investment for a serious audiophile seeking flagship performance without the new retail premium.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Audeze emerged in 2008 from a modest garage in Southern California's Orange County, USA, where founders including CEO Sankar Thiagasamundram and CTO Dr. Dragoslav Colich drew inspiration from a "2001: A Space Odyssey" poster—altering its spelling to evoke a "journey through audio." The company's origin traces to an encounter with an ex-NASA scientist whose flexible circuit material, originally for spacecraft, proved ideal for planar magnetic diaphragms, sparking a revolution in headphone design rooted in advanced materials science.
Audeze specializes in premium headphones, leveraging proprietary planar magnetic drivers and patented technologies like those in the LCD Origins series for unparalleled sound reproduction. Hand-assembled in their California facility, these open-back and closed-back models target audiophiles, Grammy-winning engineers, eSports pros, and gaming enthusiasts, with innovations extending to AI-powered spatial audio—eschewing amplifiers, speakers, or ancillary gear like DACs and cables.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Audeze commands respect as the most-awarded headphone brand worldwide, lauded for precision craftsmanship and the most accurate sound available. Its 2023 acquisition by Sony Interactive Entertainment bolsters PlayStation audio innovation while preserving independent multi-platform development, cementing its status among discerning buyers seeking uncompromised fidelity.
