Audio-Technica ATH-AWX7000 | Closed-Back Dynamic Headphones

The ATH-AWX7000 Represents the Pinnacle of Audio-Technica's Wooden Headphone Craftsmanship, Pairing the Latest Acoustic Technology with Japanese Artistry

• Enhanced Diaphragm Construction for Distortion-Free Reproduction
• Newly Developed HMD (Hybrid Matrix Diaphragm) Diaphragm Technology
• Deep, Dynamic Bass Reproduction
• Prized Kiso Cypress Housing, Hand-Finished with Echizen Lacquer

Japanese Artistry

The ATH-AWX7000’s housings are fashioned from Kiso cypress, one of Japan’s finest woods, renowned for its durability, appearance, fragrance, and history (the timber has been used to construct Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples).

Echizen lacquer, which has a history stretching back more than 1,500 years, is hand-applied to the housings to bring out the natural beauty of the wood’s grain. With time, the wood’s color will darken, adding to the distinctive character of each pair of these exquisite headphones. 

Unparalleled Driver Design

HMD (Hybrid Matrix Diaphragm) technology, developed for the ATH-AWX7000, expands the bonding area between the polymer film and the metal dome of the composite diaphragm to disperse stress generated at high-input levels. This enables the diaphragm to better maintain its shape.

By combining HMD with the precision molding process of HXDT technology, introduced with the ATH-ADX7000 open-back headphones, Audio-Technica created an ideally shaped diaphragm that vibrates as a single unit, thus significantly improving transient response and dynamics. 

Dynamic Bass

The headphones’ flexible yet robust diaphragms respond faithfully to the sound source without being overwhelmed by air pressure. This allows the headphones to fully realize the wide dynamic range potential of closed-back headphones, with seemingly bottomless bass.
