Audio-Technica’s latest premium wooden headphones blend Japanese craftsmanship with cutting-edge audio technology. Handcrafted in the heart of Tokyo, the ATH-AWKG sport a gorgeous Kurogaki wooden housing, harvested from ancient trees over a century old.
Kurogaki is a precious material derived from persimmon wood that exhibits mesmerising, black ink-like patterns.
This unique wood requires extensive knowledge and expertise for the drying process, making it a revered material across Japan.
The ATH-AWKG’s distinctive lacquer finish, applied by skilled craftsmen, accentuates the natural beauty of the wood’s grain, resulting in a timeless aesthetic that deepens with age. These are cans you’ll want to live with for years to come.
The brand has a history of producing headphones adorned with exotic wood.

Reflecting Audio-Technica’s commitment to superior audio, the ATH-AWKG features exclusive 53mm drivers with highly efficient German Permendur magnetic circuitry. This combo ensures powerful audio with an expansive sound field.
A lightweight, durable titanium flange allows for accurate signal transfer, while the 6N-OFC (high-purity, oxygen-free copper) voice coil further optimises performance. A Double Air Damping System (D.A.D.S.) structure contributes to a smooth, accurate bass response, for an immersive and detailed listening experience.
The ATH-AWKG also prioritises comfort and elegance. The headphones feature stitched ergonomic earpads and headbands made from smooth, highly durable sheepskin.
The magnesium alloy headphone arm, angled for the best possible fit, guarantees a peerless earcup seal.
The ATH-AWKG ships with premium fabric-braided headphone cables. In the box are two detachable 3m cables, one with a 6.3mm gold-plated stereo plug and the other with a 4-pin XLR-M balanced connector.
For that final touch of luxury, the ATH-AWKG comes in a designer storage box adorned with Kurogaki wood.
The Audio-Technica ATH-AWKG are available now in limited quantities, priced at £3,000 ($4,200).
