The ATH-W5000 is a closed-back dynamic over-ear headphone with 53 mm drivers, a 5 Hz–45 kHz frequency response, 40-ohm impedance, and 102 dB/mW sensitivity. It features ebony-wood housings and Audio-Technica’s Double Air Damping System. The drivers use neodymium magnets, a Permendur magnetic circuit, and OFC8N bobbin-wound voice coils. Its 3 m dual-sided, four-core parallel cable uses OFC6N and Hi-OFC conductors and terminates in a gold-plated 6.3 mm stereo plug. The headphone weighs 340 g without the cable and is supplied with a hard-shell carrying case.
