Audio-Technica is celebrating 50 years since its first headphones launch (the AT-700 series in 1974) and to mark this golden anniversary, the Japanese brand has released the ATH-ADX3000 open-back headphones.
The model is based on the reference open-back ATH-ADX5000 released back in 2017, but it sports a more modest price tag compared with the premium headphones' £1900 / $1999 billing. With the ADX3000 costing £859 / $999, it's a surprisingly restrained celebration of the brand's history in headphone making.
