Audio-Technica ATH-AWAS

Crafted from Asada Zakura, a rare Japanese cherry wood revered for its natural resonance and beautiful grain, the ATH-AWAS brings the warmth and organic character of premium Japanese woodworking to a closed-back headphone of exceptional quality.

Type and Technology

Over-ear, closed-back, dynamic. 53mm driver with OFC voice coil, housed in Asada Zakura cherry wood ear cups. The wood is selected for its acoustic properties, contributing a natural warmth and resonance that synthetic materials cannot replicate. Audio-Technica's 3D Wing Support self-adjusting fit system.

Sound Character

Warm, smooth, and musically engaging. Asada Zakura's lighter density compared to ebony gives the ATH-AWAS a fuller, more relaxed character, with a natural warmth in the midrange and a rounded bass presentation that makes it a pleasure for long listening sessions. Treble is smooth and detailed without any sharpness.

Build and Comfort

Hand-selected Asada Zakura cherry wood ear cups, each with unique grain, paired with premium leather earpads and a leather headband. Audio-Technica's Wing Support system provides self-adjusting comfort for a wide range of head shapes.

Best For

Audiophiles who want the warmth and organic character of the AW wooden series at a more accessible price point, particularly suited to vocal music, acoustic instruments, and anything that rewards a natural, unfatiguing sound.
