Component-Revealing Headphones

The Audio-Technica ATH-ADX5000 Headphones Have Impressive Drivers

The technology around us usually hides the magical components that create the processes that we experience, but the Audio-Technica ATH-ADX5000 Headphones look to put it more on display. Featuring ear cups that reveal the drivers on the exterior, the headphones boast 58mm tungsten-coated drivers that are matched with a headband that has been treated to an Alcantara covering. The pads on the rear cups are large, soft and strong to ensure they are comfortable for wear during extended periods.

The Audio-Technica ATH-ADX5000 Headphones are hand-assembled in Tokyo to ensure optimal attention to detail, while each unit has a serial number laser-etched to make them easily traceable. The headphones are set to start retailing in November at a cost of $1,999.
