Audio Technica

Technical Conformity Mark Certified Product (Frequency Band: 2.4GHz) Second-generation headphones utilizing the third auditory pathway, "cartilage conduction*": Adopts a vibration structure that utilizes the cartilage conduction pathway in the ear. Because it allows you to listen to sound without blocking the ear canal, you can safely listen to music, audiobooks, etc., while still being able to hear ambient sounds. Unlike typical earphones, it doesn't go into the ear canal, making it less likely to cause ear pain even with prolonged use. Furthermore, it prevents ear canal sweating, ensuring hygienic use. LE Audio support via firmware update (October 2024).

Equipped with a next-generation vibration driver that improves sound quality and maximum volume: Features a next-generation vibration driver (PAT.P) that improves sound quality and maximum volume compared to the previous model. Simply wear it against the cartilage part called the tragus for high-quality listening and clear calls. The drivers utilize our proprietary "A.P.S.S." technology, preventing sound quality degradation due to external vibrations and suppressing unpleasant vibrations during bass reproduction, allowing you to experience a wide soundstage.

Industry-leading battery: A full charge provides up to approximately 20 hours of continuous playback, ensuring reliable long-lasting sound. (As of October 2024, according to Audio-Technica research.) Even if you forget to charge, a 10-minute charge provides approximately 120 minutes* of continuous playback. The headphones will be ready while you attend to other tasks.

Equipped with IntelliGo's AI Noise Reduction Technology (AIVC): This high-performance AI noise reduction technology from IntelliGo extracts only the speaker's voice during online meetings and calls, delivering it clearly and naturally to the other party. Unnecessary noise other than the voice is cut out, ensuring comfortable communication.

Designed to minimize strain on the ears and reduce fatigue even during prolonged use: While inheriting the light, comfortable fit characteristic of "cartilage conduction" headphones, the design further reduces the bulge of the neckband at the back of the head and achieves an optimal weight balance, resulting in an even smaller and lighter design than the previous model, the ATH-CC500BT. This ensures comfort even when worn for extended periods.
