Audio-Technica, also known as Audio Technica or AT, is a privately owned company headquartered in Japan. Founded in 1962, the company employs approximately 740 individuals and reported $213.1M in revenue as of 2025. The company specializes in consumer electronics, designing and manufacturing audio equipment. Initially known for phonograph cartridges, its product range includes microphones, headphones, wireless systems, turntables, and electronic products for home and professional use.
On September 11, 2026, Audio-Technica introduced its first wireless open-back headphones, the ATH-AL5NC, featuring an impressive 75-hour battery life, addressing the traditional limitation of open-back designs requiring a wired connection. Earlier on September 11, the company officially announced the ATH-AL5NC, confirming its availability, noting the 240g headset includes 53mm dynamic drivers and high-resolution LDAC support. This development follows news from September 10, when Audio-Technica was reported to be bringing open-back headphones into the wireless era, overcoming the practical limitation of cables that typically confined users to a desk or dedicated system, thereby enabling greater mobility and versatility for tasks like switching devices or taking calls. On the same day, September 10, Audio-Technica unveiled the ATH-AL5NC open-back wireless headphones with active noise cancellation, Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, Hi-Res Audio LDAC codec, and 53 mm drivers capable of reproducing music across a 20 Hz to 40 kHz frequency range, catering to music enthusiasts and gamers. Audio-Technica initially released the ATH-AL5NC on September 9, distinguishing it from most wireless headphones which typically feature a closed-back design.
