A Headphone That Strums the Right Chord

If you're someone who’s ever admired the warm, classic appeal of a sunburst guitar finish, prepare to have your headphone game elevated. Audio-Technica’s ATH-WP900SE headphones aren’t just another pair of headphones; it’s a collector’s dream that fuses the world of stringed instruments with premium audio gear. The result? A set of headphones designed to resonate with fans of acoustic, jazz, and guitar-centric music in a way that few others can.

The ATH-WP900SE headphones echo the aesthetic and craftsmanship of classic guitars.

Crafting a Masterpiece with Fujigen

Audio-Technica has long been known for its wooden headphone range, but this time they’ve taken it a notch higher by collaborating with Japan’s esteemed guitar manufacturer, Fujigen. This partnership isn’t superficial — Fujigen’s involvement spans from selecting the perfect ash wood to applying the final lacquer finish, ensuring these headphones boast both beauty and durability.

The standout feature is undoubtedly the stunning 3-tone sunburst finish, immediately recognizable to anyone familiar with vintage electric guitars. That iconic gradient of colors doesn’t just look spectacular — it’s a tribute to classic instrument craftsmanship brought into the world of headphones.

Sound Tuned for String Lovers

Looks aside, these headphones are engineered for high-res audio lovers. Audio-Technica has equipped the ATH-WP900SE with newly developed 53mm drivers and a revamped voice coil. The tech is specially calibrated to highlight the nuances of string instruments, making every pluck and strum clearer, more natural, and utterly captivating.

This sonic character makes the ATH-WP900SE a fantastic companion for those late-night jazz sessions or when you want to dive deep into an acoustic album that deserves your full attention.

Designed for Portability and Practicality

While these headphones are a feast for the senses, they’re also designed for everyday use. Keeping them lightweight and portable was a priority. They come with detachable cables featuring Audio-Technica’s A2DC connectors, adding convenience and versatility. Included in the box are two cable options — a balanced 4.4mm cable for audiophiles craving that crisp, clean sound, and a standard 3.5mm cable for everyday devices.

Plus, the premium touch continues with a dedicated cleaning cloth for the lacquer finish — because those glossy wooden ear cups deserve the best care. To top it all off, each pair comes with a handwritten serial number card, underscoring the limited-edition status and exclusivity.

Mark your calendars for June 11, 2026. The Audio-Technica ATH-WP900SE headphones will officially hit the shelves, priced at around £599 in the UK. It’s a price that reflects the meticulous craftsmanship, premium materials, and specialized sound tuning packed into every pair.
