The Audio-Technica ATH-AD700X are open-back dynamic headphones designed for audio professionals who need an airy, clear, and comfortable listening experience for many hours. The honeycomb aluminum ear cups, 53 mm drivers, and 3D Wing headband make them a reliable tool for mixing, mastering, and critical listening in the studio or your home studio.

53 mm drivers with CCAW voice coils for a spacious sound

The 53 mm drivers use a CCAW voice coil—copper-clad aluminum wire—wound on a support. This design contributes to a spacious and detailed sound, with particular attention to the midrange and treble—the frequency range where vocal intelligibility, instrumental presence, and reverb definition come into play.

Open-back design for assessing soundstage and depth

The open, honeycomb-aluminum ear cups allow the drivers to breathe and deliver a wide soundstage, which is useful for monitoring panning, ambience, and depth in the mix. The frequency response ranges from 5 to 30,000 Hz.

3D Wing Headband and Comfort for Long Mixing Sessions

The ATH-AD700X does not have a traditional headband: the 3D Wing support automatically adjusts to the size of your head and distributes the weight without putting pressure on your ears. Weighing 265 g, they remain comfortable even during long work sessions.

38-ohm impedance for audio interfaces and controllers

With an impedance of 38 ohms and a sensitivity of 100 dB, the ATH-AD700X can be easily driven by the headphone output of audio interfaces, mixers, and controllers, without the need for a dedicated amplifier.

3-meter cable with mini-jack and 6.3-mm adapter

The 3-meter cable extends from the left ear cup and ends with a gold-plated 3.5-mm stereo mini-jack. The included 6.3-mm adapter allows you to connect them directly to any studio equipment.

ATH-AD700X vs. ATH-AD500X: The Differences

Compared to the ATH-AD500X, the ATH-AD700X offers a wider frequency response, up to 30,000 Hz, a higher power handling capacity of 700 mW, and a wider soundstage. They are therefore the best choice if you’re looking for an open and detailed listening experience to carefully evaluate mixes and masters.
