Good Sound All Day, Without Blocking Your Ears
Unlike traditional earphones that block the ear canal, these headphones transmit sound through the ear cartilage, allowing you to listen to music or audiobooks while staying aware of your surroundings.
The open-ear design offers superior comfort for extended use without causing earaches, and because the ear canal remains open, moisture doesn’t build up—making the ATH-CC500BT2 a more hygienic and safer choice for everyday listening.
A World’s First
A revolutionary way to experience sound by transmitting vibrations into the inner ear through the ear cartilage.
Originally launched in 2022, the ATH-CC500BT were the world’s first*1 cartilage conduction headphones by Audio-Technica, and the new model builds on this success, now featuring significant upgrades in comfort, sound quality, and call performance.
