audio-technica began producing vinyl tape for concerts planned by Matsushita Hideo at the Bridgestone Museum of Art in 1962, and has collaborated with major TV stations since providing business-use playback tape products for NHK. With its high-quality, authentic products, audio-technica is widely adopted both domestically and internationally. Its microphones have been used in major global events such as the Olympics and the Grammy Awards. In addition, the brand continuously releases headphones in various styles and grades, and is always designing next-generation models. With the philosophy of “delivering great sound and great music,” many of its products have won the GOOD DESIGN Award.

The ATH-SJ55 has been newly designed with a high-power φ40mm CCAW driver unit that suppresses sound distortion to achieve specs closer to professional standards. Regardless of music genre, users can enjoy powerful and full-bodied bass reproduction reminiscent of DJ monitor headphones. It also offers a comfortable fit that you’ll want to wear all day, with excellent sealing that effectively prevents sound leakage and allows you to fully enjoy high-quality audio.
The monitor-style design can be rotated nearly 180°, allowing for flexible listening positions, and there are two folding options for easy storage and portability. (photo provided by MSPC)
The ear cup design inherits the excellent features of audio-technica’s DJ monitor headphones. It includes a 90° left-right swivel and an overall approximately 180° rotation for flexible listening positions. Additionally, the ear cups feature a high-grade aluminum ring that suppresses unwanted vibrations. This not only enhances sound quality but also adds an attractive element to the design. There are two folding options: laying the ear cups flat or folding them compactly into the inner side of the headband, making them extremely convenient for storage or on-the-go use.
