Audio Technica ATH-ADX5000

The ATH-ADX5000 stands at the pinnacle of Audio-Technica's open-back headphone design, merging meticulous Japanese craftsmanship with advanced acoustic engineering to deliver an uncompromised listening experience. Each component is purpose-built to serve the purity of sound, beginning with the 58 mm integrated driver units that combine the diaphragm, baffle, voice coil, and Permendur magnetic circuit into one cohesive structure. This integration minimizes vibration, reduces weight, and allows for an ultra-rigid tungsten-coated diaphragm that delivers fast, accurate transient response across a vast frequency range of 5 Hz to 50,000 Hz - meeting the stringent standards for Hi-Res Audio certification.

The newly developed Core Mount Technology precisely positions each driver within the earcup to optimize airflow, resulting in a natural, transparent soundstage and beautifully balanced bass and treble. Housed in a lightweight magnesium frame, the ATH-ADX5000 features a honeycomb-punched front design that keeps the sound airy and open, while blocking side ventilation to maintain acoustic integrity. Luxurious Alcantara earpads and headband offer supreme comfort during extended sessions. A detachable 3.0 m A2DC cable and a premium hard case are included, with each unit carrying a laser-etched serial number as a testament to its handcrafted origins in Tokyo.

For audiophiles and professionals who seek the truest reproduction of high-resolution recordings, the ATH-ADX5000 is a benchmark of clarity, detail, and immersive realism - engineered not just to play music, but to reveal it.
