AUDIO-TECHNICA ATH-CC500BT2 HEADPHONES BRING NEXT-GEN CARTILAGE CONDUCTION TECHNOLOGY

The Audio-Technica ATH-CC500BT2 Cartilage Conduction Headphones are the second-generation of its cartilage conduction headphones.

These open-ear headphones are designed to offer a refined listening experience while allowing users to remain aware of their surroundings.

CARTILAGE CONDUCTION TECHNOLOGY FOR UNIQUE SOUND DELIVERY

Utilising cartilage conduction, the ATH-CC500BT2 transmits sound through the ear’s cartilage instead of the ear canal, improving hygiene and comfort. Unlike bone conduction technology, this method provides a different auditory experience by vibrating the air within the ear canal walls.

UPGRADED VIBRATION DRIVERS FOR IMPROVED AUDIO QUALITY

The latest model features next-generation vibration drivers for enhanced sound clarity and volume. The Acoustic Pure Sound Stabiliser minimises external vibrations, ensuring a more stable and refined listening experience.

LONG BATTERY LIFE AND AI-POWERED NOISE REDUCTION

With up to 20 hours of playback on a full charge and a 10-minute quick charge offering 120 minutes of use, the ATH-CC500BT2 is built for extended listening. AI Noise Reduction (AIVC) enhances call quality by filtering out background noise for clearer conversations.

MULTIPOINT BLUETOOTH AND SMART CONNECTIVITY

Users can connect to two devices simultaneously, making it easy to switch between calls and media. The ATH-CC500BT2 also supports voice assistants such as Siri and Google Assistant.

WATER-RESISTANT AND COMFORTABLE DESIGN

Designed with outdoor use in mind, the headphones have an IPX4 water-resistant rating, protecting against rain and splashes. The lightweight titanium frame and silicone ear hanger ensure a secure, comfortable fit for all-day wear.

PERSONALISED AUDIO EXPERIENCE WITH AUDIO-TECHNICA CONNECT APP

The Audio-Technica Connect app allows users to adjust settings such as Clear Voice Mode for enhanced dialogue clarity, BGM Mode for background listening, and Limit Sound Leakage Mode for public spaces. The app also includes Soundscape functions with nature sounds for relaxation and focus.
