Description

For more than 60 years since its establishment, Audio-Technica’s commitment to delivering sound to its customers has driven its pursuit of innovation in sound technology. For 2025, we introduce the ATH-AC5TW air-conduction open-ear headphones, which take a new approach to keeping you aware of ambient sound by leaving the flow of air open.

Freely enjoy the audio you love while going about your daily life. For example, listen to an audio book while taking a walk, or enjoy your favorite artist while doing housework. Since your ears are left uncovered, you can still hear surrounding sounds, including the people around you. These headphones are also safe to use when you are out and about, letting you stay aware of approaching cars and bicycles.

In addition to letting you safely hear the sounds around you, the headphones are engineered to deliver premium quality sound. Large 17 x 12 mm drivers are used to reinforce the bass, creating a powerful audio experience despite the open design. Two algorithms that reinforce the low-frequency range provide a well-balanced, voluminous sound for enhanced enjoyment. The headphones alone provide up to 13 hours of continuous playback, and this is extended to up to 34 hours when combined with the charging case. The earbuds are lightweight and can be worn over the ear for long hours of comfortable use. Another feature of the headphones is their simple, intuitive operation.

Enjoy audio without blocking out the world around you

  • Features

      • Open-Ear Design - Designed for situational awareness, the ATH-AC5TW delivers sound without blocking your ears, allowing you to hear everything going on around you. Plus, the open-ear design keeps your ears cool and pain-free even when used for prolonged periods. The design also means your voice doesn’t sound muffled when talking on the phone, allowing you to speak naturally.
         
      • Large Oval Drivers - The ATH-AC5TW uses large 17 x 12 mm drivers to maximize the limited acoustic space of the housing. Acoustic space and a duct are also included behind the drivers to control airflow, allowing the drivers to move freely for rich sound production.
         
      • Dual Bass Enhancement Technology - Using digital processing to combine a bass range reinforcement algorithm and a dynamic EQ algorithm for steady bass even at low volumes. Audio-Technica’s proprietary sound tuning provides a well-balanced, expansive soundscape.
         
      • Simple, Intuitive Operation - By limiting basic functions to starting/stopping playback and answering incoming calls, the ATH-AC5TW allows for easy, intuitive operation from the first use.
         
      • Long-lasting Battery (*1) - The headphones alone can provide continuous playback for up to 13 hours* so you can enjoy music, videos, and calls all day long without worrying about running out of battery. Up to 34 hours* of continuous playback is possible with the charging case.
         
      • Light and Comfortable Hooked Design - The ATH-AC5TW headphones are incredibly lightweight at just 10.5 g (0.37 oz). The soft ear hooks offer a comfortable fit for a wide range of users, and the lightweight design reduces fatigue and ensures continuing comfort even for long listening periods.
         
      • Two Simultaneous Bluetooth® Connections - You can connect to both a smartphone and computer or tablet at the same time, so you’ll never need to worry about switching Bluetooth devices again. Respond immediately to incoming calls on your smartphone while enjoying videos on your tablet without having to reconnect.
         
      • Beamforming Microphone (*2) - Small, high-performance MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) microphones are strategically placed in two locations on each headphone. These microphones use beamforming technology* for clear transmission of your voice even in noisy environments.
         
      • Rain and Water Splashproof Design (*3) - JIS protection rating IPX4*. The headphones are protected from sudden rain or splashes of water in outdoor activities such as walking, sports, and camping. They are also safe to use when doing water-related housework.
         
      • Two Colour Variations - The ATH-AC5TW headphones are available in black (BK) and rich white (WH), making them an easy addition to any style, whether at work or at home.
         
      • Automatic Power-On (*4) - The headphones automatically turn on when they are removed from the case, making them immediately available for use.* When the headphones are put back in the case, they power down and begin charging. The power can also be turned on or off directly from the headphones.
         
      • Single-Ear Usability - Listen to music or make calls from one or both headphones, whichever best suits your usage environment.
         
      • Safety-Conscious Overheating Prevention Cable - The included charging cable is equipped with a function that automatically stops the charging when it detects abnormal heat generation.
         
      • Bluetooth Version 5.4
