Audio-Technica ATH-AWKT

Mature and composed; Strong clarity and organisation; Articulate and well-judged bass; Excellent build;

Sound lacks a touch of drama

Audio-Technica’s Kokutans are hugely capable headphones. They will appeal to those who value a cultured attitude to music replay

Fantastic musical glow combined with a resolution and mastery that few other closed headphones can deliver.

The bass pressure is a bit too restrained, and there are other headphones witj superior dynamics.

Audio-Technica ATH-AWKT, which also goes by the nickname Kokutan after the type of wood used, are as beautiful as they are well-sounding.

En fantastisk musikalisk glöd kombineras med en upplösning och behärskning som få andra öppna hörlurar är kapabla till.

Bastrycket är lite väl behärskat och det finns andra hörlurar det sprutar mer dynamik om.

Audio-Technica ATH-AWKT, som även lystrar till smeknamnet Kokutan efter ebenholts-träslaget, är lika vackra som välljudande.
