Audio-Technica introduces new solid bass headphones

The three over-ear ATH-WS550iS, ATH-WS770iS and ATH-WS1100iS are designed for those who want to hear their music with power and punch, and listen to hard rock, hip-hop, metal, electronica and other bass-driven music the way it was meant to be heard.

Audio-Technica’s Solid Bass technology utilizes the company’s newly developed Deep Motion Drivers technology that produces a super heavy bass sound. Extra Airflow-based venting system with central and side vents to optimize the spring pressure of the air inside of the case to drastically improve the sound quality.

Audio-Technica Solid Bass headphones incorporate a host of additional refinements to provide clear, musically natural sound quality with depth and detail.

The three over-ear headphones are available at ATH-WS550iS-Rs. 6,999, ATH-WS770iS-Rs. 10,999 and ATH-WS1100iS –Rs. 18,999 respectively and has a 1 year limited warranty from the date of purchase.

Features of ATH- WS550iS

1) 53 mm Deep Motion Divers

Large diaphragm surface area of the 53 mm drivers causes considerable air movement, resulting in an extremely rich, high-fidelity bass sound.

2) Top-mounted PCB

Equalizes the air pressure behind the diaphragm for balanced sound with low distortion.

3) Airflow-Bass Triple Venting System

Vents are ideally positioned to control movement of air inside the housings, providing excellent air damping for rich bass sound.

4) Rigid housings feature aluminium centrepiece and aluminium stabilizer ring

Anti-vibration design contributes to the reproduction of clear mid-high frequencies.

5) In-line control with mic for handling calls and controlling music & video playback

6) Available in Black-Red, Black-Gold & White colour

Features of ATH- WS1100iS

1) 53 mm Deep Motion Hi-Res Audio Drivers

53 mm drivers with ultra-powerful magnetic circuit, designed exclusively for the WS1100 headphones. Through the activation of its large diaphragm surface, each driver produces considerable air movement, resulting in a massive bass sound. The ultra-powerful magnetic circuit works to deliver highly accurate audio with a wide frequency response, resulting in

Hi-Res Audio reproduction with truly deep bass.

2) Extra Airflow-Bass Venting System

Circular vents help to optimize air damping for excellent bass reproduction. Extra side vents add to the precision of high-frequency reproduction.

3) Dual aluminium housing design

Rigid housings feature aluminium centrepiece and aluminium stabilizer ring. Anti-vibration design contributes to the reproduction of clear mid-high frequencies.

4) Dual-layer ear pads (PAT.P)

Layered padding material – hard internal layer and soft outer layer – provides increased isolation of the high-resolution audio.
