Audio-Technica, a leader in the design and manufacturer of consumer and professional microphones, headphones, phono cartridges and accessories for over 40 years, has announced the availability of its ATH-EC7 GM ear-bud/clip-on hybrid headphones. The ATH-EC7 GM is part of Audio-Technica's Import Series of headphones recently debuted in the U.S., at the Consumer Electronics Show.

For portable and active applications, the ATH-EC7 GM headphones feature an avant-garde ear-bud/clip-on design that combines the comfort of an ear-bud with the secure, adjustable fit of a clip-on. These extremely lightweight headphones have a three-position design for a custom fit, and employ 15.5 mm drivers with neodymium magnets to deliver deep bass with extended treble response (10-24,000 Hz).

Ideal for use with portable players, the ATH-EC7 GM headphones are equipped with an innovative 0.6 m asymmetrical cord (with included 1.0 m extension cord) designed for cable management/user comfort; the longer side of the cable wraps around the back of the neck so the cable drapes over one shoulder, minimizing cable interference. In addition, the ATH-EC7 GM headphones come with a gold-plated 3.5 mm stereo mini-plug and a protective wallet pouch for safe transport.

Main features of the ATH-EC7 GM ear-bud/clip-on hybrid headphones:

• 3-position adjustable design for a custom fit
• 15.5 mm drivers deliver deep bass, extended treble
• Neodymium magnet for maximum quality, minimum size

The Import Series ATH-EC7 GM ear-bud/clip-on hybrid headphones are available immediately with a U.S. MSRP of $249.00.

Previously available only in Japan, the Import Series includes 15 models designed for audiophiles, DJs and portable listening applications.
