Audio Technica ATH-ADX5000 Open Back Headphones

• The housings of the ATH-ADX5000 have a honeycomb-punched design that keeps the housing face open to ventilation, while closing off the sides. This design delivers an accurate, natural sound, but prevents air pressure loss that can negatively affect sound quality. The frame is constructed of strong, lightweight magnesium; the earpads and headband are fashioned from Alcantara, a material known for its extreme durability and comfort.
• The headphones utilize newly developed Core Mount Technology that optimally positions the driver unit within the housing to improve airflow efficiency. The efficient airflow helps the headphones reproduce highly transparent mid and high frequencies and rich, precise bass sound. The 58 mm integrated driver units combine a tungsten-coated diaphragm, baffle and Permendur magnetic circuit in a single unit to reduce unwanted vibration and, since no screw clamps are required, decrease the weight. The baffle is made of a highly-rigid polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)/glass fiber composite to provide stable diaphragm movement.
• The ATH-ADX5000 headphones come with a detachable 3.0 m (9.8') cable with A2DC (Audio Designed Detachable Coaxial) connectors at the headphones and a 6.3 mm (1/4") gold-plated stereo plug for connecting to devices. Each pair of headphones is individually identified by a laser etched serial number and comes with a specially designed hard carrying case.
• About High-Resolution Audio
  In Brief: The Move to Hi-Res Audio
  While many listeners may believe that high-resolution audio came along with the introduction of the Compact Disc in 1982, constraints on the disc’s storage space always prevented CD audio (standardized at 44.1 kHz/16-bit) from fully and completely reproducing the original recorded sound. The advent and subsequent popularity of MP3s only made this problem more pronounced – the necessary compression of these files causes audio information to be lost, thus greatly reducing the audio quality. But with lossless audio file formats, faster Internet speeds, and storage space increasingly easy to come by (and in ever-smaller packages), the push is on to create audio equipment capable of capturing and reproducing true Hi-Res Audio, generally considered to be 96 kHz/24-bit or better. The Hi-Res Audio logo certifies that a product meets the Hi-Res Audio standards. Per these standards, headphones must have transducer frequency performance to at least 40 kHz. As a producer of these types of audiophile headphones since 1972, Audio-Technica is well-positioned to provide audio solutions that meet the demands of Hi-Res Audio media formats, allowing for the full reproduction of their extended sonic characteristics.
• Since 2015, Audio-Technica has used the specially designed A2DC (Audio Designed Detachable Coaxial) connector on all of our in-ear headphones and select over-ear headphones with detachable cables. But why did we develop this connector and what makes it perform better than existing connectors​ in audio applications
• A new reference in home listening
• A landmark in open-back headphone performance, the ATH-ADX5000 provides a new reference in home listening audio, blending Japanese craftsmanship with Audio-Technica’s pursuit for perfect sound.
• With newly developed core-mount technology, enlarged 58mm integrated driver units, tungsten coated diaphragm all encompassed behind a honeycomb punched design, this flagship headphone marks a culmination of the latest in audiophile listening.
• Newly developed Core Mount Technology (PAT.P) for a wide range audio reproduction
• Integrated driver unit design for maximum reduction of unwanted vibration
• 58 mm driver unit integrated in baffle utilises a Permendur Magnetic Circuit
• Tungsten coated diaphragm provides high rigidity for an improved transient response
• New honeycomb punched housing design without side ventilation to avoid undesirable air pressure loss from inside
• Japan made - Each housing is carefully hand assembled in Tokyo
• Magnesium frame and arm results in a rigid, thin and lightweight construction
• Each unit is individually identified by a laser etched serial number
• Integrated driver unit
  The driver unit design is an integrated construction. Diaphragm, voice coil, baffle and magnet are all combined in to one unit to reduce unwanted vibrations and to save unnecessary weight from the removal of screw clamps. Made of PPS (Polypenylene Sulfide) / glass fibre, the baffle is highly rigid to provide stable movement of the diaphragm.
• High-Resolution Audio
  True Motion High-Resolution Audio Drivers, reproduce extended high frequencies for true high-resolution audio.
• Core Mount Technology
  The driver unit is located in an optimal tuning position within the housing to improve airflow efficiency contributing to a highly transparent mid to high-frequency sound reproduction and a rich, precise bass sound.
• Accessories of luxury
  Packaged in a luxury protective storage case, the ADX5000 also includes a 6NOFC cable with a machined stainless steel 6.3mm plug to avoid resonance and provide stable sound reproduction.
• Alcantara earpads and headband
  Well known for its durability, Alcantara material is used on the earpads and headband to deliver outstanding wearing comfort for an extended home listening experience. Alcantara is used in the automotive and fashion industries combining durability and high quality texture.
  
• Honeycomb design
  Combining the efficiency of a honeycomb punched design with a closed-side housing to avoid side ventilation, this structure provides perfectly balanced audio without any air pressure loss.
• Unique serialisation
  Every ADX5000 headphone is individually identified by a laser etched serial number.
