Audio Technica ATH-ADX3000 Open-Air Dynamic Headphones Black

Modelled after our flagship ATH-ADX5000 open-back headphones, the ATH-ADX3000 is designed to bring the natural Open-Air sound to a wider audience. These headphones feature 58 mm integrated driver units, which position the diaphragm, voice coil, baffle and magnet in a single unit, resulting in improved airflow and full-range audio reproduction. This creates an optimum structure, reducing unnecessary sound distortion. The result is full-range audio with natural bass, pure mid and high frequencies, and a precise, realistic soundstage.

These featherlight (257 g) audiophile headphones are hand-assembled at our facility in Machida, Tokyo, from components built in-house, and are rigorously tested before leaving the factory. They are outfitted with replaceable velour earpads to ensure lasting comfort and 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.

The A2DC (Audio Designed Detachable Coaxial) connector was designed specifically for use with audio and provides a secure yet easy-to-use connection that minimizes connector rotation, thus preventing audio dropout and unwanted noise, while protecting cables from twisting and splitting.

Features:

• Fully open-back design allows unrestricted airflow to produce natural bass with no artificial resonance while maintaining pure mid and high frequencies
• 58 mm integrated driver unit design combines diaphragm, voice coil, baffle and magnet in single unit to reduce unwanted vibration
• Proprietary Core Mount Technology places driver unit in optimal position for improved airflow and reduces unnecessary distortion
• Driver units utilize a pure iron circuit with efficient magnetic characteristics, resulting in precise sound reproduction
• Tungsten-coated diaphragm provides high rigidity for an improved transient response
• Japanese craftsmanship: Each pair of headphones is meticulously assembled from components built in-house, then rigorously tested before leaving our Tokyo factory
• Magnesium alloy frame results in rigid, thin, lightweight construction
• Honeycomb-punched housing design blocks side ventilation to prevent undesirable air pressure loss
• Velour earpads provide amazing comfort and durability
• Detachable 3.0 m (9.8') cable with A2DC (Audio Designed Detachable Coaxial) connectors at the headphones and 6.3 mm (1/4") gold-plated stereo plug
• Each pair of headphones comes with a specially designed hard carrying case

“Our engineers worked hard to achieve frequencies that are not easy to obtain with natural airflow. Our expertise in driver technology has influenced our approach to open-back headphones, enabling us to ensure the diaphragm moves with the purest motion. For example, with the ATH-ADX5000 we developed innovative technology that integrates the driver into the baffle, resulting in an optimal structure to improve airflow and full-range audio reproduction. This same technology is also employed in the ATH-ADX3000 headphones.”
