Audio-Technica ATH-AP2000Ti Over-Ear High-Resolution Headphones

Description

The ATH-AP2000Ti over-ear headphones feature proprietary
large-aperture 53 mm drivers, a permendur magnetic circuit, and diaphragms with
a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating, enabling them to deliver exquisite,
full-range audio, including the capacity to reproduce Hi-Res Audio. The
headphones also utilize Core Mount Technology that optimally positions the
driver unit within the housing to improve airflow efficiency. The efficient
airflow helps the headphones reproduce highly transparent mid and high
frequencies and rich, precise bass sound. 

The rigid, pure-titanium housings reduce unwanted resonance
and incorporate Audio-Technica’s Double Air Damping System (D.A.D.S) for deep
bass reproduction. Each housing is equipped with an A2DC (Audio Designed
Detachable Coaxial) jack to accommodate the three detachable cables included
with the headphones: 1.2 m (3.9′) and 3.0 m (9.8′) cables with a 3.5 mm 3-pole
stereo mini-plug, and a 1.2 m (3.9′) cable with a 4.4 mm a 5-pole balanced
mini-plug. 

The ATH-AP2000Ti headphones have soft, durable leather
earpads for superior comfort, and they fold flat for easy transport inside the
included carrying case. Each pair of these exclusive headphones is individually
identified by a laser-etched serial number. 

About High-Resolution Audio 

In Brief: The Move to Hi-Res Audio 

While many listeners may believe that high-resolution audio came along with the
introduction of the Compact Disc in 1982, constraints on the disc’s storage
space always prevented CD audio (standardized at 44.1 kHz/16-bit) from fully
and completely reproducing the original recorded sound. The advent and
subsequent popularity of MP3s only made this problem more pronounced – the
necessary compression of these files causes audio information to be lost, thus
greatly reducing the audio quality. But with lossless audio file formats,
faster Internet speeds, and storage space increasingly easy to come by (and in
ever-smaller packages), the push is on to create audio equipment capable of
capturing and reproducing true Hi-Res Audio, generally considered to be 96
kHz/24-bit or better. The Hi-Res Audio logo certifies that a product meets the
Hi-Res Audio standards. Per these standards, headphones must have transducer
frequency performance to at least 40 kHz. As a producer of these types of
audiophile headphones since 1972, Audio-Technica is well-positioned to provide
audio solutions that meet the demands of Hi-Res Audio media formats, allowing
for the full reproduction of their extended sonic characteristics.
