Audio-Technica ATH-AWKG

The crown jewel of Audio-Technica's AW wooden headphone series, the ATH-AWKG uses housings crafted from Karin wood to achieve a sonic character that is as distinct and refined as the material itself. A statement headphone from one of Japan's most revered audio houses.

Type and Technology

Over-ear, closed-back, dynamic. Large-aperture driver with OFC voice coil, housed in Karin wood ear cups selected for their acoustic density and resonance properties. Each pair features uniquely grained wood, making every ATH-AWKG one of a kind.

Sound Character

Rich, organic, and deeply musical. The Karin wood housing contributes a natural warmth and body to the sound that is unlike anything achievable in a synthetic chassis. Bass is full and resonant, midrange is lush and present, and the overall character rewards relaxed, immersive listening above critical analysis. An exceptional companion for acoustic music, jazz, and vocals.

Build and Comfort

Hand-finished Karin wood ear cups with premium leather earpads, a genuine leather headband, and Audio-Technica's self-adjusting 3D Wing Support. The construction is artisanal and durable, with the fit quality expected of a flagship instrument.

Best For

Collectors and serious audiophiles who appreciate the intersection of acoustic craft and Japanese woodworking tradition, and who value a uniquely musical closed-back listening experience.
