Audio Technica ATH-AL5NC Wireless Open Back Headphones

Introducing the ATH-AL5NC Wireless Headphones
Spacious, Natural Sound from Audio Technica

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-AL5NCs 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 playbackand up to 8 hours with just a 15-minute charge.*

With the unique Audio-Technica Connect app, you can access an uncommon array of customization tools right on your phone, including a low latency mode that combats annoying audio lag when youre gaming or watching videos. Weve also included a 1.2 m (3.9) cable with 3.5 mm (1/8) stereo mini-plug and in-line mic and control for times when youd prefer a wired connection.

To further improve the listening experience and help you focus at home (when distracted by the HVAC system, outside traffic noise, or other ambient sounds), the headphones also offer a noise-reduction function,** conveniently operated via a button in the right earcup. 

Sound Freedom

The ATH-AL5NC offers an all-too-rare combination: pure, natural open-back sound and the convenience of wireless connectivity. Enjoy expansive high-fidelity sound while maintaining awareness of your surroundings and the freedom to move about your space.

Lightweight Design

The ATH-AL5NCs open-back design keeps the headphones light (240 g) and your ears cool so you can wear the headphones comfortably all day. The earpads rest gently around the ears, exerting no clamping pressure.

Advanced Control

Tap into the Audio-Technica CONNECT app to gain access to an array of control functions like our low latency mode, which combats audio lag while streaming. Additional CONNECT app functions include sound leakage reduction mode, EQ, a special soundscape function, and more!

Open-Back -v- Closed Back - Whats the Difference?

Ideal for mixing, mastering and creating in a studio or other private space, open-back headphones provide a natural, spacious sound akin to that produced by a speaker monitor system.

Closed-back headphones on the other hand, isolate audio from outside noice, making them great for musicians recording in a studio or anyone listenitng in a public or noisy environement.
