Audio-Technica will launch a special edition headphone, the ATH-AWSW DV, at Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025 from April 18 to 20. Only 10 units will be made, and they’ll be available at the Audio-Technica booth (No. 28–32) at Makuhari Messe.
This is a wooden headphone featuring traditional Echizen lacquer and maki-e artwork showing Darth Vader. Each side of the headphone has a different design, created using official Lucasfilm assets made specifically for this product. The artwork was done by Japanese craftsmen using brush techniques, making each unit slightly unique.
The headphone has been tuned to bring out the depth in Star Wars music. Audio-Technica, known for over 20 years of wood headphone design, handled all production in Japan—from part sourcing to final assembly in their Tokyo factory. Each unit has a serial number.
These headphones weigh 415 grams and are equipped with large 53 mm drivers. They support Hi-Res Audio and offer a wide frequency range from 5 Hz to 45,000 Hz. With a sensitivity of 102 dB/mW and an impedance of 48 ohms, they can handle up to 2,000 mW of input power, making them suitable for high-performance audio setups.
All accessories match the Star Wars theme. The headphone stand is also made for display use. Sales will end once all 10 units are sold. If any remain after the event, there may be a second sale later. As for pricing, the headphones will cost 990,000 yen (~$6,700).
Unfortunately, tickets to the Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025 event have already sold out. That said, you can still get your hands on some cool Star Wars-themed earbuds which Audio-Technica launched last month.
