Drivers designed for this headphone

The AD900X combines its dedicated 53 mm drivers with copper-clad aluminium wire voice coils. Its design focuses on natural voices and instruments, smooth tonal balance and precise stereo imaging.

Comfort without a heavy enclosure

Lightweight honeycomb aluminium housings and generously cushioned earpads support extended listening. The self-adjusting 3D Wing Support helps the headphone settle into position. Set the earcups into a comfortable position before bringing the volume to your usual listening level.

A spacious listening environment

Open earcups give sound room to develop and let outside sounds remain audible. A quieter home listening space is the best match when you want to concentrate on the recording.

Connect to your preferred source

The single-sided 3 m cable gives you reach from a desktop source. Its gold-plated 3.5 mm connector works with compatible headphone sockets, and a 6.3 mm adapter is included.

Which headphone configuration is this?

Audio-Technica ATH-AD900X 38 Ohm Open-Back Audiophile Headphones. 38 ohms is the listed impedance; choose the exact model rather than transferring specifications from another version.

Is the acoustic design suitable for my room?

Open-back headphones allow sound into and out of the earcups. A quiet environment helps, and nearby microphones or people may hear the playback.

Do I need a headphone amplifier?

38 ohms is the impedance, but sensitivity, source capability and your desired level also matter. Use a suitable headphone output; higher-impedance models can need more voltage than a phone or controller provides.

What cable or plug is specified?

3.0 m single-sided OFC cable with TPE sheath. Gold-plated 3.5 mm stereo plug. Use the connection and any adapter specified for this exact model.

Does it include a voice microphone?

These are dedicated listening headphones. Add a separate microphone and the appropriate recording input if your setup needs voice chat or recording.

How should I interpret the recommended audio equipment?

The recommendations offer alternative audio chains. A standalone amplifier needs a suitable analogue source; a standalone DAC needs an amplifier. Keep the normal stereo cable with the matching headphone output.

Which accessories are listed?

6.3 mm adapter. Other equipment shown in listening or studio photographs is a separate purchase.
