Audio-Technica ATH-ADX3000 Open-Air Dynamic Headphones – Audio-Technica

Overview
Modeled after Audio-Technica’s flagship ATH-ADX5000 open-back headphones, the ATH-ADX3000 is designed to bring the natural Open-Air sound to a wider audience. They also feature an optimum structure, reducing unnecessary sound distortion. The result is full-range audio with natural bass, pure mid and high frequencies, and a precise, realistic soundstage.

Open-Back Innovation / The Audio-Technica Difference
“Our engineers worked hard to achieve frequencies that are not easy to obtain with natural airflow. Our expertise in driver technology has influenced our approach to open-back headphones, enabling us to ensure the diaphragm moves with the purest motion. For example, with the ATH-ADX5000 we developed innovative technology that integrates the driver into the baffle, resulting in an optimal structure to improve airflow and full-range audio reproduction. This same technology is also employed in the ATH-ADX3000 headphones.”

— Hiromichi Ozawa, lead engineer for ADX headphones

58 mm Integrated Driver Units / Japanese Craftsmanship
As a leading innovator in transducer technology for over 60 years, Audio-Technica places special emphasis on driver design to achieve the optimal sound from each pair of headphones. The ATH-ADX3000’s integrated driver units are handmade in their Machida, Tokyo, facility to ensure the highest quality.

A2DC – Audio-Technica’s Proprietary Miniature Audio Connector / A Sound Connection
Since 2015, Audio-Technica has used the specially designed A2DC (Audio Designed Detachable Coaxial) connector on all of their in-ear headphones and select over-ear headphones with detachable cables.

Realistic Soundstage / Open-Back Sound
The ATH-ADX3000 open-back design allows unrestricted airflow that prevents any distortion or artificial enhancement to the sound. This results in a purity of sound with truly authentic sound staging and imaging.

The Essence of Audio-Technica / High-Quality Audio for Everyone
Following the vision of Audio-Technica’s founder, Hideo Matsushita – “high-quality audio for everyone” – they retooled their flagship ADX model to create the ATH-ADX3000, making the natural, Open-Air sound more accessible to all.
