Audio-Technica ATH-ADX7000: Audio-Technica has formally announced its most sophisticated open-back headphones to date, the ATH-ADX7000, created and manufactured entirely in Japan. Engineered for professional-grade audiophiles and recording studio-quality listening, the headphones are the epitome of Audio-Technica’s acoustic know-how. With a novel HXDT precision procedure, the ATH-ADX7000 guarantees that each piece of the driver, from diaphragm and magnet to voice coil and baffle plate, aligns with a precision of merely ±0.02 mm. Such unparalleled precision allows for smoother motion of the diaphragm, achieving quicker response, superb detail, and a naturally open, lifelike sound.

True Open-Air Design for Natural Sound
The ATH-ADX7000 uses Audio-Technica’s True Open-Air Audio design, with unrestricted airflow through the housing. Unwanted air pressure and resonance that typically cause distortion or listening fatigue are eliminated. A clean, balanced, and fatigue-free sound signature is achieved, perfect for long studio sessions or audiophile listening. Custom-designed open-air drivers provide a full-frequency range, with rich and deep bass, a feat rarely seen on open-back headphones.
Advanced Core Mount and Driver Technology
One of the best features of the ATH-ADX7000 is its 490-ohm voice coil, which maximizes mechanical force without adding weight. This maximizes low-frequency response, increases dynamic range, and retains clarity at all frequencies. The headphone also has Core Mount Technology integrated into it, which balances acoustic impedance between the front and rear cavities. This is what provides stable movement of the diaphragm regardless of the frequency of sound, ensuring consistent, distortion-free performance.
Lightweight Build and Premium Comfort
In spite of its cutting-edge engineering, the ATH-ADX7000 tips the scales at a mere 275 grams, incredibly light for an open-back full-size headphone. Honeycomb aluminium construction and magnesium die-cast provide strength and stiffness without excess vibration. For added comfort, there are options between high-density velvet and Alcantara earpads, both of which are engineered to provide unique acoustic textures as well as pampering comfort over extended listening sessions.
Connectivity and Accessories
Audio-Technica provides two high-quality cables with every unit: a nylon-wound balanced XLR cable and a 6.3mm unbalanced cable, both of which are fitted with Neutrik connectors and gold-plated A2DC connectors for secure signal transmission. A small storage case is also included for safe transport and storage, keeping the headphones safe during travel or studio work
Pricing and Availability
Audio-Technica’s ATH-ADX7000 will become available starting October 31 in the US and UK. The high-end open-back headphones cost $3,499 in the US and £3,000 in the UK. Aimed at uncolored reproduction of pure sound and top-quality performance, the ATH-ADX7000 is one of the most technically advanced audiophile headphones of 2025.
