MUMBAI: Japanese headphone company Audio-Technica has launched a new range of headphones called ATH-MSR7. At the core of the headphones are the 45mm 'True Motion' Hi-Res Audio Drivers. The headphones combine a precision diaphragm and extra light-weight voice-coil resulting in improved response times while sound distortion is minimised to deliver a smooth, rich and detailed audio presentation.

To extend the mid to low frequency sounds, Audio-Technica has developed a special feature called Dual-layer Air-Control Technology. It features housings made from an exclusive mixture of aluminum and magnesium, and are layered to provide a lightweight but rigid structure, reducing unwanted vibration that can taint sound. Within this layered construction, a Triple-venting acoustic airflow design features three precisely placed 'vents' that control the air flow to give a much more dynamic sound.

The headphones also boast a driver diameter of 45mm, a maximum input power of 2000 mW, a frequency response of 5 ~ 40,000 Hz with a sensitivity of 100dB and an impedance of 35 ohms, all while weighing merely 290 gms. The headphones come with a 3.5 mm gold-plated stereo mini plug and a 1.2 m and 3.0 m cable with microphone plug for smart-phones.

The ATH MSR7 will be available later this month at Rs. 16,299.
