Limited Edition 60th Anniversary Wireless Headphones
In celebration of their 60th anniversary, Audio-Technica 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.
Superior Sound, Designed, Developed and Made in Japan
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 Independent L/R Balanced Headphone System
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.
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 Wooden Wireless Headphones, Inspired by Nature
For more than 25 years Audio Technica has 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.
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.
A Sustainable Experience: Luxurious comfort made in Italy
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. Additionally, Audio Technica will replace the earpads, headband and battery of the WB2022 free of charge.
ZERO HALLIBURTON
Audio Technica is very proud to be partnered with ZERO HALLIBURTON for the sleek and robust case for the ATH-WB2022. Founded in the USA in 1938, ZERO HALLIBURTON was designed to survive harsh environments and to protect precious cargo – including moon rocks from Apollo 11 – since then, it’s the bag of choice for anyone with a desire for design and durability (plus cinema’s greatest superheroes and spies).
