Audio Technica ATH-AWAS Audiophile Closed-back Dynamic Wooden Headphones

Lose yourself in the experience of amazingly rich high-fidelity sound. For the housings of the ATH-AWAS over-ear wooden headphones Audio-Technica have selected the rare Asada Zakura (Japanese cherry) wood. Renowned for its use in high-end audio speakers due to its fine acoustic characteristics and durability the striking red Asada Zakura suppresses unwanted resonance inside the earcups for clear natural sound reproduction. The half-gloss finish applied by hand accentuates the wood’s gentle grain and warm beauty. The headphones are equipped with exclusive 53mm drivers with powerful magnetic circuitry integrated pure-iron yoke DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating and 6N-OFC (high-purity oxygen-free copper) voice coils for exceptional full-range audio reproduction. The exclusive D.A.D.S. (Double Air Damping System) which divides the housing structure into two separate acoustic chambers ensures smooth accurate bass response. The arms that hold the housings are made from a lightweight highly rigid magnesium alloy. The arms are angled to provide the best possible fit with excellent earcup seal. The comfortable fit is enhanced by smooth synthetic leather earpads and headband. The headphones also feature A2DC (Audio Designed Detachable Coaxial) jacks for secure connection to the two included 3.0m detachable cables. One cable has a 6.3mm gold-plated stereo plug for use with standard audio equipment. The other cable features a 4-pin XLRM balanced connector for use with the latest high-fidelity equipment to achieve better channel separation.   [list]Asada Zakura (Japanese cherry) housings hand-finished with half-gloss suppress unwanted resonance for clear natural sound reproduction Exclusive 53mm drivers with powerful magnetic circuitry deliver exceptional full-range audio Integrated pure-iron yoke improves transient response for accurate audio reproduction DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating applied to diaphragms to improve high-frequency response 6N-OFC (high-purity oxygen-free copper) voice coil provides ideal signal transfer D.A.D.S.
