ATH-ADX7000

A flagship open-back built for listeners who value nuance, space, and comfort. The Audio-Technica ATH-ADX7000 brings HXDT driver tech to a 58 mm dynamic diaphragm, delivering full, controlled bass, lifelike mids, and refined treble without harshness. It’s the kind of soundstage that places instruments precisely, with natural transients and clean detail that rewards critical listening and high-resolution audio.

Design-wise, the magnesium alloy frame keeps weight low while damping vibrations, and the honeycomb aluminum housings stay open for airflow. Core Mount Technology positions the driver for optimal ventilation, letting the diaphragm do the talking. Two pad options ship in the box: high-density velvet for balanced clarity, Alcantara for warmer tonality with enhanced bass.

You also get detachable 3.0 m cables with A2DC connectors: a balanced 4-pin XLRM for studio rigs and an unbalanced 6.3 mm for classic amps. Handmade driver units from Machida, Tokyo underscore the craft behind these open-air headphones. For anyone building a transparent chain with a capable DAC and amplifier, the ATH-ADX7000 is a premium, comfortable choice that’s tuned for detail, imaging, and long-session listening.
