Audio-Technica ATH-WB LTD Limited Edition Over-Ear Headphones

Overview

Based on the ATH-WB2022 wireless wooden headphones, released in commemoration of Audio-Technica’s 60th anniversary, the limited-edition ATH-WB LTD headphones bring the same award-winning three-layer wood housings to a wired model for warm, detailed analog sound. With dynamic bass and superior articulation in the upper-mid and treble ranges, the ATH-WB LTD excels in reproducing highly detailed audio including female vocals and string instruments.

For more than 25 years we have experimented with the benefits of wooden headphones. The ATH-WB LTD maple, walnut, and mahogany housings recreate a natural sense of fullness and harmonics, enhancing the acoustic reproduction of instruments with realistic bass texturing.

The headphones’ exclusive 45 mm HD drivers are designed, developed, and made in our factories in Japan. Adopted from the ATH-WB2022, the ATH-WB LTD drivers have been specially tuned to provide the best listening experience from the analog configuration. 
The earpads and headband of the ATH-WB LTD are made from supple, durable sheepskin for long-lasting comfort. The headphones’ portable design is bolstered by a strong, lightweight aluminum alloy frame and the earcups swivel-flat for convenient storage in the included carrying pouch.A2DC (Audio Designed Detachable Coaxial) jacks ensure that the included 1.2 m (3.9') detachable cables connect securely to deliver the highest-quality audio.

This is a special, limited-edition model, with only 300 units available throughout the world.
