Audio-Technica ATH-AWKG Kurogaki Wood Closed-Back Audiophile Headphones

The Audio-Technica ATH-AWKG is a handcrafted flagship from the NARUKAMI series — named for the thunder god of Japanese legend — representing more than six decades of Audio-Technica's pursuit of pure analog sound. Each pair is built around precious KUROGAKI (black persimmon) wood housings, a rare material whose unique physical properties contribute directly to exceptional sound quality, finished by hand with traditional lacquer applied by skilled Japanese craftsmen. No two pairs are alike; every set is a functional work of art.

Audio-Technica's engineers voiced the ATH-AWKG by refined auditory judgment rather than a sterile spec sheet, tuning these closed-back dynamic headphones to deliver a deeply immersive, natural listening experience that brings the listener closer to the wonders of nature. The over-ear design and meticulous craftsmanship make extended audiophile sessions effortless, while 3.5 mm jack connectivity keeps the AWKG compatible with a wide range of equipment, from dedicated headphone amplifiers and music production gear to high-end portable players.

Adding to its collector appeal, the ATH-AWKG ships with an additional set of ZMF Universe Hybrid earpads, giving owners an alternate voicing and feel to explore. For the devoted listener who values Japanese artisanship as much as sound, the AWKG is a destination headphone.
