Wired Connection

These wired headphones by Audio-Technica are a really good choice if you prefer not to deal with some of the challenges posed by wireless headphones such as needing to always remember to recharge it before taking it out with you.

Connected Devices

  • Android device that has the usual headphone port.
  • iOS device where a headphone port is present.
  • Hi-Fi amplifier which allows you listen to your tunes while drowning out any other audio distractions around you. In addition that, these Audio-Technica headphones have an impedance of 40 Ω (Ohms) which helps it cope with the power output of the Hi-Fi system.
  • PC or Mac to cater for a wide range of audio needs while using your computer.
  • Headphone amp to get a much better listening experience.
  • MP3 player for your portable music needs.
  • Musical instrument for your creative work.

All Kinds of Journeys

  • Commuting while listening to music from these Audio-Technica headphones gives the perfect distraction while getting to work.

For producing creative work

  • DJ work requires great headphones and the specs on the Audio-Technica ATH-A550Z Over-ear Black such as the 53 cm driver unit size makes it suitable for your needs.

Various Audio Content Types

  • Audio books where you can enjoy listening to a range of narrated titles and written materials.
  • Music which would require a headphone with really good sound reproduction. This is typically helped by the sizeable diameter of the audio driver component built into the earpiece.
  • Video content while watching or streaming a TV episode or full feature film.
  • Radio stations for your debut tracks, shows and news reports. The back of the ear-piece for these headphones are completely closed which helps to eliminate environmental sounds.
