Audio-Technica puts on the table its most ambitious proposal in open headphones With the ATH-ADX7000 True Open-Air, a model that arrives to lead its high-fidelity catalog. Made in Japan, they're designed for those seeking precise, uncomplicated listening.
The key to the launch is in a dynamic transducer with HXDT engineering and an open dome design that allows air to flow, reducing internal pressure and resonance. This promises a wide, natural presentation, designed for long sessions without fatigue.
What's changing with the ATH-ADX7000 True Open-Air
Audio-Technica's philosophy with this model is based on a truly open conceptThe housing isn't intended to seal, but rather to manage airflow to prevent coloration. The result, according to the brand, is a larger soundstage and a more faithful timbre to the recording.
To achieve this, the driver assembly has been specifically designed for this open use, so that maintains deep bass without resorting to closing, something unusual in designs of this type.
HXDT technology and precision tolerances
At the heart of the headset is the system High-Concentricity X (Transfer) Dynamic Transducer, which guarantees concentricity between diaphragm, magnet, coil and deflector plate with tolerances of ± 0,02 mm, a precision far above the usual.
By keeping the critical parts of the driver aligned, the diaphragm moves in a more uniform and controlled manner, resulting in Faster transients, better resolved microdetail, and lower distortion.
Another relevant technical data is the 490 ohm impedanceThis figure requires a dedicated amplifier to take advantage of the set, but in return it provides a extended dynamics and a more defined bass without increasing the mobile weight.
Open design, materials and weight
The construction combines a die-cast magnesium chassis with honeycomb-patterned aluminum housings, designed to absorb vibrations and prevent unwanted coloration.
With only 275 grams, the ATH-ADX7000 seeks that balance between lightness and robustness that allows for long listening sessions in comfort, while maintaining the rigidity necessary for clean sound.
Audio-Technica also includes its Core Mount technology to balance the acoustic impedance of the front and rear cavities, so that the diaphragm moves symmetrically across the entire frequency range.
Ear pads, cables and connectivity
The box contains: two sets of pads: some made of high-density velvet and others made of Alcantara, to choose between touch, durability and acoustic response.
Two cables also arrive: one balanced with XLR connector and another unbalanced with 6,3 mm jack. Both mount connectors Neutrik and endings Gold-plated A2DC for a stable connection.
Availability and price in Spain and Europe
The Audio-Technica ATH-ADX7000 go on sale globally October 23 with a recommended price of € 3.499In the Spanish and European markets, they maintain this RRP, aligned with their benchmark positioning.
As an official accessory, the brand offers the AT-HPC3 case by € 85, also compatible with other Hi-Fi models from the brand. This allows each user to configure the system according to their transport and protection needs.
With a focus on precision engineering, an uncompromising open design, and a suite of accessories to match, the ATH-ADX7000 is aimed at those looking for transparent and highly detailed listening with dedicated quality teams.
