The Cherry on Top: Audio-Technica ATH-AWAS Over-Ear Headphones Feature Japanese Cherry Wood to Suppress Unwanted Resonance and Reproduce Music with Stunning Naturalism

You cannot possibly miss the defining characteristic of the Audio-Technica ATH-AWAS over-ear headphones. Proudly displayed on the earcups and enhanced with a hand-applied half-gloss finish that accentuates the material's gentle grain and soft beauty, rare Asada Zakura (a.k.a. Japanese cherry) wood housing stamps the closed-back ATH-AWAS with unforgettable looks and a natural, clear, warm sound.

Bolstered by 53mm drivers with powerful magnetic circuitry, an integrated pure-iron yoke, DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating, and 6N-OFC (high-purity, oxygen-free copper) voice coils for full-range reproduction, the Japanese-crafted ATH-AWAS also benefits from an exclusive D.A.D.S. (Double Air Damping System). The latter divides the housing structure into two separate acoustic chambers for smooth, accurate bass responsiveness. Indeed, whether you prefer classic rock or classical symphonies, ATH-AWAS will transport you to your happy place.

Mechanically, ATH-AWAS incorporates lightweight, rigid, magnesium-alloy arms to hold the housings. The arms are angled to provide the best possible fit with excellent earcup seal. Speaking of comfort, the smooth, synthetic leather earpads and headband mean you can wear the 13.9-ounce ATH-AWAS all day without fatigue.

For premium connectivity, ATH-AWAS has A2DC (Audio Designed Detachable Coaxial) jacks for the two included 3.0 m (9.8') detachable cables. One cable has a 6.3 mm (0.25-inch) gold-plated stereo plug and the other uses a 4-pin XLRM balanced connector for elevated channel separation.
