Wired Connection

Unlike wireless options, the wired connection provided by this product allows you to plug into you audio device without having to bother about staying charged. 

Connected Devices

  • Android device that has the usual headphone port.
  • iOS device with a headphone port.
  • Hi-Fi amplifier so that you can enjoy your music without having to bother anyone around you. Also, the 44 Ω (Ohms) impedance of these headphones allows it to withstand the power coming out of your Hi-Fi.
  • PC or Mac to listen to a variety of audio.
  • Headphone amp so that you can enjoy better quality audio.
  • MP3 player for your portable music needs.
  • Musical instrument to enjoy some private practice time.

Game Console Compatibility

All Kinds of Journeys

  • Commuting every day is less boring when you've got these pair of headphones to listen to your playlists or catch-up on a TV show.

For producing creative work

  • DJ work requires great headphones and the specs on the Audio-Technica ATH-A990z Over-Ear Black such as the 53 cm driver unit size makes it suitable for your needs.

Various Audio Content Types

  • Audio books which would require listening to warm sounds with an emphasis on the vocals.
  • Music which would require a headphone with really good sound reproduction. This is typically helped by the sizeable diameter of the audio driver component built into the earpiece.
  • Video content in order to enjoy your choice of movies, series and shows.
  • Radio which requires reasonable quality output for you to enjoy mixes, news and shows from your favourite stations.
  • Gaming audio in order to fully enjoy the sound effects and rousing music while playing on your PC or console.
  • Podcasts for fun, knowledge and entertainment.
