“CCAW Voice Coils”

The large-aperture 53mm drivers of the ATH-AD500X are built around the CCAW voice coils developed by Audio-Technica, which create stunning audio and deep and balanced bass reproduction.

“Extreme Comfort”

The earphones are covered with large earcups that fully cover the ears. The earcup pads are dressed in a durable and very soft fabric that provides exceptional listening comfort allowing for prolonged use.

“3D Wing Headband Structure”

The 3D Wing System comprises the the small removable wings that are found across the range of our HiFi headphones. No adjustment is necessary, the headset adapts itself to any head shape as soon as it is positioned on the head, and removes any feeling of pressure felt with a classic shaped headband. You will forget that the headphones even weigh 235g!

Immersive Listening

The open-back headphones keep any pressure away from the ears, to allow for a natural listening sensation.

Honeycombed Housing

The large honeycombed aluminum housing provides a sense of clarity and exceptional ventilation.

OFC Cable

The ATH-AD500X has a connection cable made from OFC (oxygen-free copper) treated for improved conduction which avoids any sound alteration. 

3D Wing Structure

The 3D Wing Structure system allows ATH-AD500X to adapt to different head shapes for optimum user comfort, making the headphones feel weightless, even during prolonged use.
