FULL STORY
======================================================================

Audio-Technica has been making headphones for 50 years, and to mark the 
anniversary, the firm has created a pair of headphones that'll make any 
audiophile drool. The new Audio-Technica ATH-ADX3000 have been hand-crafted 
in Tokyo as "a testament to Audio-Technica's six decades of audio 
innovation", according to the company. 

The open-back headphones are very light at just 257g, and they're based 
around the same Core Mount technology that first appeared in the ATH-ADX5000 
open-air dynamic headphones. Core Mount integrates the driver directly into 
the baffle, which A-T says improves both airflow and full-range audio 
reproduction. (Image credit: Audio-Technica) Audio-Technica ATH-ADX3000: 
pricing and availability 

The new Audio-Technica ATH-ADX3000 headphones are available now with a price 
tag of 859 / 999 / $999. 

That's significantly less than the ATH-ADX5000, and it means you can get the 
same kind of reference-quality audio experience for approximately half the 
cash; given the glowing reviews the 5000s have attracted, that means these 
headphones could be something quite special, and a serious contender for our 
list of the best wired headphones . 

As for Audio-Technica, the firm says that while it's celebrating 50 years of 
headphones, it's excited about the future  especially with the resurgence of 
vinyl and high-quality home audio setups. According to Kazuo Matsushita, 
Audio-Technica's president, Since 1974, we have developed various 
technologies to reflect the changes in the market  from the adoption of 
smartphones to the expansion of home studios  however, we have always 
remained true to our analogue core, as we still start every process in our HQ 
with a transducer. I look forward to the next 50 years of bringing quality 
audio to all. You might also like I tried the brain-hacking headphones and if
