Audio-Technica ATH-ADX7000

Audio-Technica's new open-air flagship and the most technically ambitious headphone the company has ever built, the ATH-ADX7000 introduces the proprietary HXDT driver, a technology developed entirely in-house to achieve a level of acoustic performance that defines a new benchmark for the ADX series.

Type and Technology

Over-ear, open-back, dynamic. HXDT (Hybrid eXtension Driver Technology) proprietary driver, combining an ultra-thin diaphragm with a newly developed magnetic circuit optimized for the lowest possible distortion and the widest frequency extension ever achieved by Audio-Technica in a dynamic driver. Handcrafted in Japan.

Sound Character

Natural, effortless, and extraordinarily detailed. The ATH-ADX7000 takes the ADX5000's already exceptional open-air presentation and extends it further, with a soundstage of greater width and depth, more precise imaging, and a high-frequency refinement that brings it meaningfully closer to electrostatic performance while retaining the dynamic character that makes Audio-Technica's open-air headphones uniquely engaging.

Build and Comfort

Premium materials throughout, with Audio-Technica's self-adjusting 3D Wing Support housing system for excellent comfort during extended listening. The chassis reflects the engineering investment of the HXDT driver, with materials and tolerances befitting a reference flagship.

Best For

Audiophiles seeking the absolute pinnacle of Audio-Technica's open-back engineering, and those who want to experience what the company's best dynamic driver technology is capable of.
