Its 53mm dynamic drivers are hand assembled with carefully selected magnetic and conductive materials, giving the ATH-A1000Z the speed and clarity to follow fine detail across vocals, acoustic instruments, electronic music, and large-scale arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAluminum housings, magnesium alloy baffles, and Audio-Technica’s Double Air Damping System provide a rigid, well-controlled acoustic platform. The result is a spacious and articulate presentation with deep bass, clean transient response, and the privacy of a full-size closed-back design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHand-Assembled 53mm Dynamic Drivers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ATH-A1000Z uses newly developed 53mm dynamic drivers designed for wide-bandwidth, high-resolution playback. Each driver is assembled with an OFC-7N bobbin-wound voice coil, using extremely high-purity copper to transmit the incoming signal efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pure iron yoke strengthens the magnetic circuit and helps the diaphragm react quickly to changes in the music. Percussion arrives with a clean leading edge, bass notes retain their shape, and layered recordings remain easier to follow when several instruments are playing at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eControlled Airflow and Precise Diaphragm Movement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe driver’s printed circuit board is mounted above the diaphragm rather than directly behind it. This arrangement creates a smoother internal airflow path, allowing the diaphragm to move with less obstruction and greater consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat attention to airflow supports the ATH-A1000Z’s extended frequency response and refined transient behavior. Small shifts in tone, room ambience, and the decay of instruments come through clearly without sacrificing the body and impact expected from a large dynamic driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDouble Air Damping System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudio-Technica’s Double Air Damping System uses separate internal air chambers to manage driver movement at low frequencies. By controlling pressure behind the diaphragm, D.A.D.S. gives the ATH-A1000Z bass that reaches deep while remaining defined and naturally integrated with the midrange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe system adds weight to drums, bass guitar, and electronic low frequencies without turning the presentation loose or overly resonant. The closed-back housings and well-sealed earpads reinforce that extension while providing useful isolation from the surrounding room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAluminum Housings and Magnesium Baffles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe earcups are formed from high-rigidity aluminum, creating a stable enclosure around the driver. Inside, a lightweight magnesium alloy baffle further limits unwanted vibration and provides a firm mounting surface for the acoustic assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReducing resonance in the housing helps keep the character of the enclosure from bleeding into the recording. Voices and instruments retain clearer outlines, while bass remains controlled even at higher playback levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e3D Wing Support and Long-Session Comfort\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudio-Technica’s 3D wing support system automatically adjusts to the shape of the listener’s head. The lightweight structure avoids a conventional padded headband pressing directly across the crown, while the large circumaural earpads distribute pressure around the ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStitched ergonomic cushions create a close seal for stronger isolation and bass consistency. At approximately 265g without the cable, the ATH-A1000Z remains unusually light for a full-size headphone with large metal housings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHigh-Purity Fixed Cable\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fixed 3-meter dual-sided cable uses four OFC-6N conductors and an elastomer sheath. The separate conductor layout supports clear left and right channel transmission, while the generous length suits desktop headphone amplifiers, integrated amplifiers, and dedicated listening systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable terminates in a gold-plated 3.5mm stereo plug. A matching 6.3mm adapter is included for use with full-size home audio and professional headphone outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-size Art Monitor closed-back dynamic headphones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-assembled 53mm drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOFC-7N bobbin-wound voice coils for efficient signal transmission\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure iron yokes for improved magnetic control and transient response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop-mounted driver PCBs for smoother internal airflow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio-Technica Double Air Damping System for deep, controlled bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-rigidity aluminum earcup housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight magnesium alloy driver baffles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved 3D wing support system with automatic fit adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStitched circumaural earpads for comfort and sound isolation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide 5Hz to 43kHz frequency response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh 2,000mW maximum input capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e44-ohm impedance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight 265g construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-meter OFC-6N dual-sided four-core cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold-plated 3.5mm stereo connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold-plated 6.3mm adapter included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClosed-back dynamic headphones\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDriver Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e53mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoice Coil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOFC-7N bobbin-wound\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5Hz to 43kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e101dB\/mW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImpedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Input Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2,000mW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHousing Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-rigidity aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBaffle Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMagnesium alloy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcoustic System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDouble Air Damping System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFit System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3D wing support\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e265g, without cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-meter OFC-6N dual-sided four-core cable with elastomer sheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGold-plated 3.5mm stereo mini plug\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio-Technica ATH-A1000Z headphones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold-plated 6.3mm stereo adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Audio-Technica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42981455659079,"sku":"ath-a1000z-open","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1791\/0383\/files\/Audio-TechnicaATH-A1000z.jpg?v=1784571887","url":"https:\/\/headphones.com\/products\/audio-technica-ath-a1000z-headphones-open-box-clearance","provider":"Headphones.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
