Featuring new HXDT driver technology, our flagship ATH-ADX7000 Open-Air Dynamic Headphones provide the most natural, spacious, and comfortable listening experience of any Audio-Technica open-back headphones.
The bass response is uncommonly full and powerful for a pair of open-backs, with solid weight and excellent control. Subtle details come through clearly and naturally in the midrange, making instruments feel present and lifelike, with excellent spatial definition and accurate placement across the soundstage. The upper mids and treble are poised, delivering the right mix of air and refinement without sounding harsh or dampened. This lends intimacy to vocals and a natural realism to transients.
We achieved this natural, full-spectrum sound by managing every detail of the driver manufacturing process, from design and construction to final integration. Our HXDT molding process creates a 58 mm diaphragm with precise roundness – the accuracy essential for highly detailed musical expression. We integrate the diaphragm with the other driver components (baffle plate, magnet, and voice coil), aligning their centers with exceptional accuracy. This ultra-precise alignment allows energy to transfer more efficiently from the magnet to the coil to the diaphragm, which itself is afforded greater freedom of movement.
The headphones’ aluminum housings feature a honeycomb-punched design that keeps the housing face open to ventilation. To improve airflow to the diaphragm, the driver unit is optimally positioned within the housing via our proprietary Core Mount Technology. Combined, the HXDT and Open-Air design elements allow the entire sound output to come directly from the diaphragm, resulting in more accurate, dynamic, and detailed sonic performance.
The ATH-ADX7000 headphones come with two sets of interchangeable earpads, high-density velvet and Alcantara, to allow listeners to customize their listening experience. The high-density velvet earpads help suppress unwanted resonances while delivering well-balanced sound. The Alcantara earpads offer a more durable, luxurious alternative, enhancing the bass and mellowing the treble.
Featuring full, natural bass response and smooth, articulate mids and upper mids, the ATH-ADX7000 allows unrestricted airflow to deliver a truly lifelike listening experience, with excellent spatial definition and accurate soundstage. The included interchangeable earpads – high-density velvet for well-balanced audio, Alcantara for a fuller, warmer sound – allow listeners to customize their experience.
The innovative manufacturing process behind the HXDT driver results in a precisely shaped diaphragm, which is essential for premium open-back headphone performance. All circular driver components, including the baffle plate, magnet, voice coil, and diaphragm, are concentrically aligned to ensure consistent diaphragm movement, improved transient response, and cleaner, more natural sound reproduction.
