Audio-Technica’s ATH-WB2022 Offer the World’s First Completely Balanced Audio Output System

Audio-Technica celebrates its 60th anniversary by offering something truly unique: a pair of wooden wireless headphones said to feature the first built-in balanced stereo in the world.

The headphones utilize the setup that is standard in the wired headphones world—separate signal paths to each earcup, with balanced headphone amp output to deliver a sound that is free of crosstalk or interference—and integrates it into a pair of wireless headphones. The result: a sound even purists will find as close to perfection as possible.

Each of the headphones’ earcups contain their own DACs and amps, 45mm drivers, DLC-coated diaphragm, high-performance magnetic circuit, and even their own independent rechargeable batteries. The sound alone is spectacular, but everything about its walnut, mahogany, and maple wood housing make it a luxury item that’s a must-own for any true audiophile.
