Description
ATH-WB2022
In celebration of the 60th anniversary of
Audio-Technica we present the ATH-WB2022, a groundbreaking pair of luxury
headphones.
The housing of the ATH-WB2022 is carefully crafted from a
selection of intertwined marbled maple, walnut, and mahogany wood. Behind the
stunning exterior, the headphones house the world’s first* completely balanced
audio output system. Equipped with an independent DAC and operational
amplifier, the headphones support up to 24-bit/96 kHz high-resolution sound
sources with both wireless and USB digital connections.
Only a limited number of this commemorative model are
available in the world.
*As headphones. As of September 2022, according to
Audio-Technica research.
Designed, Developed and Made in Japan
Superior Sound
ATH-WB2022 is equipped with newly designed 45 mm HD drivers.
The drivers reproduce vivid and expressive sounds, for a rich, detailed
listening experience. An innovative LDAC codec provides high-resolution sound
with a wide range. The ATH-WB2022 also supports the AAC and SBC codecs.
World’s First Fully Balanced Audio Output System
Independent L/R Balance
The world’s first fully balanced audio output system with
independent DACs, operational amplifiers, and batteries for each Lch/Rch. The
system provides sound with excellent channel separation, with no cross talk or
noise interference between the left and right channels.
Wired or Wireless Listening
Up to 9 Hours of Power
Enjoy up to 9 hours of hi-fi audio. If the battery runs out,
you can simply switch to a USB connection to continue using the headphones.
After 5 minutes without being connected to a device, the power will
automatically turn off to save battery life. Charging time is about 2.5 hours.
Audio-Technica’s First Wireless Wooden Headphones
Inspired by Nature
For more than 25 years we have experimented with the
benefits of wooden headphones. In addition to the striking aesthetics, this
combination of different woods has excellent acoustic properties, absorbing
vibrations for a purer audio performance.
Audio-Technica Connect App
Fine-Tune Your Listening
In the dedicated Audio-Technica Connect app you can find
five preset equalizers (including a default ‘flat’ setting) that can be
selected to experiment with the soundscapes generated by these premium
headphones. In addition, you can select between four volume levels: 16
(default), 32, 64 and 100.
Luxurious comfort made in Italy
A Sustainable Experience
Pairing practical durability with fashionable aesthetics,
Alcantara provides a premium tactile experience, with a soft texture and
elegant appearance. Alcantara is created with sustainable practices and is
carbon-neutral.
