Each housing is hand-assembled in Tokyo. Inside are enlarged 58mm integrated driver units with tungsten-coated diaphragms and Permendur magnetic circuits, positioned by Audio-Technica’s newly developed Core Mount Technology behind a honeycomb-punched housing, in a magnesium frame that keeps the weight to 270g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/audio-technica-ath-adx5000-reference-air-dynamic-open-back-headphones-photo-front.jpg?v=1791400259\" alt=\"Audio-Technica ATH-ADX5000 open-back headphones, front view of the honeycomb housing\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIntegrated driver unit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach driver is a single integrated construction: diaphragm, voice coil, baffle and magnet are combined into one unit. That reduces unwanted vibration and saves weight, because no screw clamps are needed. The baffle is made of PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) and glass fibre, which is highly rigid, so the diaphragm moves stably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 58mm drivers use a Permendur magnetic circuit, with exceptional magnetic characteristics, and a tungsten-coated diaphragm, whose high rigidity improves transient response.

Without side ventilation there is no undesirable loss of air pressure from inside, so the sound stays perfectly balanced.
