Unmatched Clarity Meets Uncompromising Comfort For more than 60 years, Audio-Technica’s refined its craft across turntables, cartridges, headphones, microphones, and more. The company's ATH-AD500X open-back dynamic headphones are a distillation of these decades of expertise that balances casual, comfortable listening with premium audio fidelity. Thanks to newly designed 53-millimeter drivers that feature CCAW voice coils, sounds are clear, natural, and impactful, from striking basses to articulate vocals and melodies. Lightweight honeycomb aluminum casing comprises the construction of these headphones, and coupled with the open-air design, this means strain-free listening for hours without putting unwanted pressure on your ears.
