If you want a pair of headphones to sound good there’s a certain logic to building them from the same stuff that made the music in the first place, which is exactly what Audio-Technica has done with the wood-encased ATH-WBLTD.
The 45mm drivers used by these limited-edition wired headphones are encased in maple, walnut, and mahogany – three hardwoods that are often used to construct violins, guitars, and mandolins due to their acoustic properties and ability to limit pesky vibrations. The housings are also hand-polished by Fujigen, a Japanese guitar manufacturer, so they absolutely look the part, too.
