Open-back sound with the freedom of wireless

The Audio-Technica ATH-AL5NC gives you the natural, spacious sound of an open-back headphone without being tied to a cable. It suits anyone who values sound quality but still wants to move around freely while listening.

Because the drivers sit in an open-back housing, sound comes through with little added tuning or damping, so music, podcasts and games sound close to how they were recorded. The 40mm drivers are given room to move, which helps voices and instruments feel more natural and layered rather than boxed in. Noise cancelling support means you can also dial down background distractions when you need to focus, without losing that open, airy character.

At 240g, these headphones are light enough to wear through a full work day or a long gaming session, and the earpads rest gently around the ears rather than clamping down, so there is no pressure build-up over time. That combination of comfort and open sound makes them easy to reach for whether you are working from home, gaming, or just listening to music around the house, while still being aware of what is happening around you.
