Audix A152 - Studio Reference Headphones with Extended Bass
The Audix A152 headphones redefine the listening experience for those seeking depth, precision, and total immersion in sound. Meticulously designed for discerning audiophiles, sound engineers, and professional gamers , these closed-back headphones deliver superior acoustic reproduction. With their ability to project an exceptionally wide sound field—unusual for closed-back designs—and extended bass response, the A152 is an indispensable tool for both high-fidelity enjoyment and critical decision-making in modern production environments.
Leveraging decades of AUDIX experience in transducer and moving-coil technology development, this model incorporates 50mm phase-coherent drivers that ensure perfect temporal alignment of frequencies. This results in a crisp, detailed, three-dimensional stereo image, where every instrument, effect, or step in a video game is placed with surgical precision in space. Its robust yet lightweight construction, along with an ergonomic design of cushioned ear pads, allows for extended listening sessions without the auditory or physical fatigue common in other models of its class.
Beyond its technical performance, the A152 stands out for its versatility. It can reveal the subtlest nuances in a jazz recording, convey the visceral power of a film soundtrack, or provide the competitive edge needed in esports through precise spatial localization. Its low impedance ensures optimal performance not only with high-end studio equipment but also when connected directly to audio interfaces, gaming consoles, or high-resolution mobile devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a headphone amplifier to use the Audix A152?
