The ATH-AL5NC combines the spacious, natural sound quality of an open-back design with the freedom of wireless connectivity. These are the ideal headphones for hi-fi enthusiasts, remote workers, gamers, or anyone else who puts a premium on audio quality and wireless convenience.
The ATH-AL5NC’s specially designed 53 mm drivers generate a wide, detailed soundstage with the natural presentation that only open-back headphones can deliver. The open housings also prevent heat from building up around the ears and keep the headphones light (240 g) for all-day wearing comfort. The built-in microphone is perfect for virtual meetings and in-game communication, while the rechargeable battery provides up to 75 hours of continuous playback—and up to 8 hours with just a 15-minute charge.*
