{"product_id":"aune-ar5000-mk2-headphones","title":"Aune AR5000 MK2 Headphones","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Aune AR5000MK2 builds on the foundation of the original AR5000 with a more refined acoustic structure, improved driver behavior, and a stronger physical design. It is a full-size open-back dynamic headphone made for listeners who want a natural, spacious presentation without giving up body, bass weight, or everyday drivability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith its 50mm MLD dynamic driver, large-tilt-angle acoustic structure, low 28-ohm impedance, and upgraded all-metal headband assembly, the AR5000MK2 is designed to be both serious and practical. It can scale with desktop DAC\/amp systems, but it is also efficient enough to pair with quality portable sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRefined MLD Dynamic Driver\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe AR5000MK2 uses a 50mm open-back dynamic driver with Aune’s Multi-Layer Distributed diaphragm structure. The MLD diaphragm is designed to balance rigidity and damping, helping reduce breakup that can occur in larger dynamic drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the MK2 version, Aune further optimized the diaphragm material and surface treatment. The result is clearer treble extension, a more open sense of air, and improved smoothness through the upper frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFull-Range Balance with Greater Extension\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAune tuned the AR5000MK2 for a natural, complete tonal balance. Compared with the previous generation, the MK2 extends both the sub-bass and ultra-high frequencies while refining the transition from the mids into the highs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe low end is designed to have more authority and body without losing speed or articulation. Vocals and instruments remain coherent across the spectrum, giving the AR5000MK2 a sound that is spacious, balanced, and easy to settle into for long listening sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLarge-Tilt-Angle Acoustic Structure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe AR5000MK2 uses Aune’s large-tilt-angle driver panel together with angled earpads to create a more expansive acoustic presentation. This structure is intended to improve the sense of depth, width, and vertical space while supporting more precise imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe open grille housing and side venting help manage airflow and acoustic diffusion behind the driver. For listeners choosing an open-back headphone for music, gaming, movies, or critical listening, the AR5000MK2 is built around a more natural sense of space rather than a closed-in presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComfortable Full-Size Fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt approximately 365g, the AR5000MK2 remains light enough for extended listening while still using a more robust headband assembly. The headband shape and curvature have been optimized to improve fit across different head shapes, while the full-size earpads are designed to cover the ear without excessive pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe breathable acoustic memory foam earpads help maintain comfort over longer sessions, making the AR5000MK2 a practical choice for desktop listening, focused work, late-night sessions, and long-form listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAll-Metal Headband Assembly\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe MK2 version upgrades the headband assembly to an all-metal construction for improved rigidity and long-term durability. The design keeps the elegant visual language of the original AR5000, with a refined champagne-gold finish and clean industrial lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a headphone that feels more substantial without moving away from the comfort-first approach that helped define the original model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEasy to Drive, Ready to Scale\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a nominal impedance of 28 ohms and sensitivity rated at 112dB SPL at 1kHz\/1Vrms, the AR5000MK2 is easier to drive than many full-size open-back headphones. It can work well with capable portable audio devices, while still benefiting from higher quality desktop DAC and amplifier pairings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe included interchangeable plug cable supports 3.5mm single-ended, 6.35mm single-ended, and 4.4mm balanced connections, making it easier to move between portable players, headphone amps, interfaces, and desktop systems without needing a separate cable immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOpen-back full-size stereo headphone from Aune\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e50mm dynamic driver with Multi-Layer Distributed diaphragm structure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRefined MK2 driver material and surface treatment for improved treble extension and air\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptimized airflow path and magnetic circuit for deeper bass extension and improved dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLarge-tilt-angle acoustic structure with angled earpads for a wider, more spacious presentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOpen grille housing and side vents for balanced airflow diffusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAll-metal headband assembly for improved rigidity and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBreathable acoustic memory foam earpads for long-session comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow 28-ohm impedance for broad source compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.5m OFC cable with interchangeable 3.5mm, 4.4mm, and 6.35mm plugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOpen-back stereo headphones\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDriver\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e50mm dynamic open\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFrequency Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e5Hz-43,500Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNominal Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e28 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e112dB SPL at 1kHz\/1Vrms\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTHD\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u0026lt;0.03% at 1kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCable\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.5m OFC interchangeable plug cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHeadphones Net Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eApprox. 365g\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eGross Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eApprox. 1.02kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHeadphone Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eApprox. 220mm x 195mm x 115mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBox Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e224mm x 238mm x 122mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAune AR5000MK2 open-back headphones\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.5m OFC interchangeable plug cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3.5mm \/ 4.4mm \/ 6.35mm interchangeable plugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuick start guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Aune Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42946273640519,"sku":"AUNE-SR5000MK2","price":339.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1791\/0383\/files\/2_7e5a3410-cd50-430a-9c89-dbccc166b3ca.jpg?v=1783618471","url":"https:\/\/headphones.com\/products\/aune-ar5000-mk2-headphones","provider":"Headphones.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
