Audio-Technica ATH-AWKG Audiophile Closed-Back Dynamic Wooden Headphones

Luxurious Hi-Res Audio with Rare Kurogaki Wood Craftsmanship

Experience the artistry of sound with the Audio-Technica ATH-AWKG, a closed-back audiophile headphone handcrafted in Tokyo as part of the prestigious Narukami series, named after the Japanese thunder god. Featuring rare Kurogaki (persimmon) wood housing with mesmerizing black ink-like patterns, these headphones harness the wood’s dense acoustic properties to deliver exceptionally clear, natural sound. The hand-applied lacquer finish enhances the wood’s Zen-like grain, creating a visual and auditory masterpiece that deepens in beauty over time. Certified for Hi-Res Audio (96 kHz/24-bit or better), the ATH-AWKG offers an expansive soundstage for discerning listeners and professionals.

Equipped with exclusive 53mm drivers featuring German Permendur magnetic circuitry, a lightweight titanium flange, and 6N-OFC (high-purity, oxygen-free copper) voice coils, the ATH-AWKG ensures precise diaphragm movement and optimal signal transfer. The Double Air Damping System (D.A.D.S.) divides the housing into two acoustic chambers, delivering smooth, accurate bass response. With a 5Hz–45kHz frequency range, these headphones produce rich lows, transparent mids, and sparkling highs, perfect for critical mixing or immersive high-fidelity listening.

Designed for comfort and durability, the ATH-AWKG features a magnesium alloy arm angled for an optimal earcup seal, paired with stitched sheepskin earpads and headband for long-lasting comfort. An additional set of ZMF Universe Hybrid earpads offers a unique alternate listening experience. Two detachable 3-meter fabric-braided A2DC (Audio Designed Detachable Coaxial) cables—one with a 6.3mm (1/4") gold-plated stereo plug and another with a 4-pin XLRM balanced connector—provide versatile connectivity for standard and high-end systems. A wooden storage box adorned with Kurogaki wood completes the premium package.
