Audio Technica recently dropped the most expensive Bluetooth wireless headphones on the market to date. What’s all the fuss about, and why should you buy them? Let's find out.
Audio Technica has pulled out all the stops with their 60th anniversary, limited run, ATH-WB2022. But what sets these apart from the competition? And how can a $2.7k price tag for wireless headphones be justified? For starters, these are the first fully balanced audio output Bluetooth headphones in the world, with independent Left/Right balance, DACs, op-amps, and batteries for each channel. They are a limited edition, with a portion of the profits going towards Playing for Change. This is all great and the case for the WB2022s for being the best wireless headphones you can buy as of now is a strong one - but that isn’t even the reason I think you should pick one of these up if you are able to. The WB2022s are pushing wireless headphones the furthest we’ve seen. Audio Technica has taken a step out here that I think the audiophile community should really rally for. If we truly want endgame, lossless wireless headphones, there are quite a few more advancements that need to occur. More on that in a bit.
