Lose yourself in the experience of amazingly rich high-fidelity sound. For the housings of the ATH-AWAS over-ear wooden headphones Audio-Technica have selected the rare Asada Zakura (Japanese cherry) wood. Renowned for its use in high-end audio speakers due to its fine acoustic characteristics and durability the striking red Asada Zakura suppresses unwanted resonance inside the earcups for clear natural sound reproduction. The half-gloss finish applied by hand accentuates the woods gentle grain and warm beauty.
