Overview
ATH-WB2022
In celebration of the 60th anniversary of Audio-Technica we present the ATH-WB2022, a groundbreaking pair of luxury headphones.
The housing of the ATH-WB2022 is carefully crafted from a selection of intertwined marbled maple, walnut, and mahogany wood. Behind the stunning exterior, the headphones house the world's first* completely balanced audio output system. Equipped with an independent DAC and operational amplifier, the headphones support up to 24-bit/96 kHz high-resolution sound sources with both wireless and USB digital connections.

Fine-Tune Your Listening
In the dedicated Audio-Technica Connect app you can find five preset equalizers (including a default ‘flat’ setting) that can be selected to experiment with the soundscapes generated by these premium headphones. In addition, you can select between four volume levels: 16 (default), 32, 64 and 100.
Playing for Change
A percentage of all 60th Anniversary hi-fi sales will be donated to the Playing For Change Foundation, which was established to create positive change through music and arts education for marginalised and at-risk youth, most specifically in the developing world.
We are proud to support both Playing For Change - a movement dedicated to inspiring and connecting the world through music- and its partner organisation, The Playing For Change Foundation, and share with them the vision that music should be accessible to all.
