When a company celebrates its 50th anniversary, it certainly calls for a special treat — like with these new Audio-Technica ATH-ADX3000 headphones.
Often, customers get to “benefit” from a company’s milestone celebrations. While it doesn’t typically mean freebies, it often results in special or unique anniversary models of well-known products. Such is the case with Audio-Technica’s new ATH-ADX3000, marking the company’s impressive fifty-year legacy. Audio-Technica released its first headphones, the AT-700 series, back in 1974. This anniversary edition, the ATH-ADX3000, takes inspiration from the ATH-ADX5000 model, which launched in 2017. The good news is that the ATH-ADX3000 has a considerably more attractive price tag, coming in at $999 compared to the $1999 of its predecessor.
Open-Back Design
The Audio-Technica ATH-ADX3000 features an open-back, over-ear design. Each headphone is hand-assembled and rigorously tested in Tokyo, with only components manufactured by Audio-Technica used in the build. Its drivers are a generous 58mm and include a diaphragm coated in tungsten. This driver design integrates the voice coil, shield, and magnet into a single structure, which, according to the manufacturer, helps prevent unwanted vibrations. All in all, this is a worthy commemorative model that’s also relatively affordable. So grab your chance if you’re planning to buy some new headgear From this brand anyway, we’d say.
