Features

Overview: The Audio-Technica ATH-AWKT over-ear headphones let you enjoy your music like you\’ve never heard it before. Beautifully hand-assembled in Tokyo, these headphones feature deep brown and black wooden housings and large drivers that deliver the wide frequency range needed for your Hi-Res Audio tracks. The headphones come with both balanced and unbalanced OFC (oxygen-free copper) cables.

Kokutan Housings: The deep brown and black wood housings of the ATH-AWKT are made of rare Kokutan (striped ebony) wood. Individually hand-crafted with a half-gloss finish to bring out the warmth of the woodgrain, the headphones look as good as they sound. The beauty, durability, and acoustic characteristics of the Kokutan make it desirable for pianos and woodwind instruments. For headphones, the wooden housings suppress unwanted resonance to deliver a natural sound. Audio-Technica\’s exclusive Double Air Damping System (D.A.D.S.) split the housing into two separate acoustic chambers for a smooth low-end response.

Construction: The wooden housings are held in place by rigid magnesium alloy arms that are strong and lightweight. The arms provide the precise angle to ensure you get a good seal with each ear cup. The ear pads and headband are covered with soft sheepskin leather to provide comfort for those long listening sessions.

Drivers: The ATH-AWKT is equipped with large-aperture 53mm drivers with German Permendur magnetic circuitry to deliver a wide sound field with exceptional accuracy. The wide 5Hz – 45kHz frequency range lets you hear more of the details of the music, especially Hi-Res audio from 96kHz/24-bit (and higher) music files and streaming services. The voice coils are made of high-purity, oxygen-free copper (6N-OFC) for ideal signal transfer, and the drivers\’ durable titanium flange provide precise movement for maximum accuracy.

Cables: The headphones come with two cable — one balanced and one unbalanced — with A2DC (Audio Designed Detachable Coaxial) connectors on each ear cup. Both cables are 10 feet in length, and feature oxygen-free copper and a braided elastomer sheath. The unbalanced cable terminates into a gold-plated 1/4" (6.3mm) stereo plug for use with standard audio equipment and sound consoles. The balanced cable features a male 4-pin XLR connector for use with high-end D/A converters and headphone amplifiers. The 4-conductor balanced cable has + and – leads for both the left and channels for better channel separation and sound quality.
