The Audio-Technica ATH-AD500X




The ATH-AD500X Open-back headphones offer a natural, precise and profound listening experience. 

The earcups and the 3D wing structure of the headband make listening all the more comfortable and immersive allowing for long lasting listening comfort, further enhanced by extra padding on the earpads.



53 MM Dynamic Drivers with 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 with outstanding vocal projection.



3D Wing Headband Structure

Comfortable support for a more enjoyable listening experience.

The 3D Wing System comprises the the small removable wings that are found across the range of Audio-Technica 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, making the headphones feel weightless, even during prolonged use.

You will forget that the headphones even weigh 235g!



Immersive Listening

The open air also known as open-back headphones produce no sense of pressure on your ears.

This allows for a completely natural listening sensation.



Lightweight Honeycombed Housing

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



Long Life Comfort

Flexible raised-fabric earpads offer excellent wearing comfort and durability

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 long hours of use.



An OFC Quality Cable

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

The highly conductive oxygen-free copper is sealed in an elastic TPE sheath to prevent tangles
