Open-Back Design
Headphones with an open-back design, allow air to pass through the earcups. This means that Open-Backs do not block any noise from around you, as closed-backs do, and music being heard will also leak outside to people around you. So they can only be heard in a quiet environment.
However, Open-back headphones do sound more natural and open. Open-back headphones create a feeling of space, presenting audio as if you are sitting at a live concert. Audiophiles swear by open-back headphones, and they sound quite different to closed-backs.
These headphones are perfect for critical listening sessions, mixing and mastering music. They have an accurate soundstage presentation and precise imaging.
Needs Amplification
Headphones and IEMs require a certain level of power to sound their best and work at their full potential. When your headphones or IEMs are underpowered, they can sound thin or muffled.
Amplifiers are required to provide adequate power to your headphone or IEMs to perform at their best. Simply put, amplifiers allow a weak audio signal to be boosted to a powerful one.
To put it into perspective, devices such as your phones and laptops come with an amplifier, but they offer very limited output power. This output may not be sufficient to power headphones and IEMs to shine at their best. This is where a dedicated amplifier is required to deliver adequate power to hear your music in all its glory.
Tangle-Free Cables
Every time you reach for headphone cables to connect them to your headphones, no matter how neatly you "wrapped" them up, they end up in a giant Gordian knot of frustration.
Tangled cables are the bane of modern existence, and everyone owning a wired pair of headphones can attest to this. With advances in cable-making techniques and radical approaches to manufacturing, there are now several solutions to this universal problem.
You get Flat cables, Mesh Design cables, cables coated with exterior covers and cables designed with a zipper style design to avoid tangling and attempt to solve the issue.
Super Lightweight
Design
The Audio-Technica ATH-AD500X is a great headphone. It presents a highly refined and clean sound that is suitable for audio professionals and audiophiles alike. The soundstage on these headphones is massive and they're comfortable to wear.

DESCRIPTION
AUDIO-TECHNICA PRESENTS THE ALL-NEW OPEN-BACK HEADPHONE - THE ATH-AD500X
Audio-Technica presents the latest addition of open-back headphones to their line-up of legendary headphones - the ATH-AD500X. Audio-Technica ATH-AD500X is designed for incredibly comfortable listening. With a lightweight honeycomb aluminium casing and magnesium frame structure, these open-back headphones produce no sense of pressure on the ears, offering a completely natural listening experience. Newly designed 53 mm drivers with CCAW voice coils reproduce remarkably natural sound, with impactful bass and outstanding vocal projection. The self-adjusting wing support automatically adjusts to your head size. A straight OFC cable at the left earpiece terminates to a mini plug with included 1/4" adapter.

EQUIPPED WITH 53MM DYNAMIC DRIVERS WITH CCAW VOICE COILS FOR PRISTINE AUDIO
Audio-Technica is well known for designing some of the most accurate sounding headphones out there and the ATH-AD500X is no different. In terms of sound quality, the ATH-AD500X manages to maintain the classic Audio-Technica sound. Equipped with 53mm drivers, they reproduce crystal clear audio with just the right amount of bass. Along with the drivers, the ATH-AD500X also embeds CCAW voice coils to produce remarkably natural sound, with deep bass and outstanding vocal projection. You’ll find that the drivers are further away from your ear than with most headphones. This design adds to the “open” feel to deliver an immersive listening experience. The open-back design keeps any pressure away from the ears, to allow for a natural listening sensation.




EXPERTLY ENGINEERED WITH A LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN AND 3D WING HEADBAND STRUCTURE
Carrying on the tradition of the air series, the Audio-Technica ATH-AD500X is as comfortable as ever. Most headphones, even in the circumaural category, end up causing some form of discomfort, either they’ll get warm, or the headband clamping pressure gets a little too much after a while, or the audio itself can lead to things like bass fatigue. The ATH-AD500X, with its lightweight honeycomb aluminium casing and magnesium frame structure, seems immune to these issues. The large honeycombed aluminium housing provides a sense of clarity and exceptional ventilation. The ATH-AD500X also comes with 3D wing headband support which is Self-adjusting and offers comfortable support for a more enjoyable listening experience, making the headphones feel weightless, even during prolonged use.


DURABLE EARPADS, QUALITY CABLES, AND BUNDLED WITH ACCESSORIES IN THE BOX
The soft fabric-lined earpads are comfortable for extended listening and the “self-adjusting 3D wing support” as Audio-Technica names it, provides resistance to keep the cans on your head. The earpads provide exceptional comfort that elevates the listening experience tenfolds. The single-sided OFC (oxygen-free copper) cable with an elastic TPE covering is provided to prevent tangling, and it is a considerate addition. This equipped cable is exceptionally long – almost 10 feet. This feature is often overlooked but is an advantage for home use when you want to sit back while listening to some nice tunes. Even if you plug it into your entertainment setup, the cable will allow you to go to your couch. A stereo 1/8″ (3.5mm) connector with a 1/4″ (6.3mm) adaptor in gold plating is included in the box to get you started.
