Handcrafted in Machida, Tokyo, each pair has been meticulously assembled from components built in-house and rigorously tested by the brand’s team of skilled engineers. Paying homage to Japan’s revered tradition for craftsmanship, the ATH-ADX3000 are also a testament to Audio-Technica’s six decades of audio innovation.  

Building on the success of the celebrated open-back ATH-ADX5000 model launched in 2017, the ATH-ADX3000 offer a natural and authentic soundstage, allowing users to experience audio in its purest form. The high-quality exposed drivers ensure the flow of air is unrestricted to eliminate unwanted distortion during audio playback.  Indeed, Audio-Technica’s driver technology is widely acclaimed, not only for its precise engineering and sound quality but also for authentically reproducing the original audio source.  

In addition, the ATH-ADX3000’s lightweight design and superior comfort is achieved by streamlining their construction, with the engineers carefully assembling each component to create a minimalistic finish.  

Speaking to their development, lead engineer Hiromichi Ozawa says: “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.” 

Features

• The exposed drivers and free flow of air, characteristic of the open-back design, provide a pure and natural listening experience, eliminating unwanted distortion. 
   
• A lightweight (257g), minimalistic and highly breathable design for long listening sessions. 
   
• The high-quality drivers result in the purest sound with realistic sound staging and imaging as each diaphragm movement translates into an instant generation of sound, meaning that frequencies are not artificially produced nor enhanced using acoustic cavities and resonance. 
   
• Audio-Technica’s innovative Core Mount Technology, introduced with the 2017 acclaimed ATH-ADX5000 open-air dynamic headphones, directly integrates the driver into the baffle resulting in an optimal position to improve airflow and full-range audio reproduction.
