RODE NTH-50 Professional On-Ear Headphones

RODE NTH-50 Overview

The RØDE NTH-50 are on-ear headphones designed for professional monitoring, production, and content creation workflows where clarity, comfort, and reliability are essential. With a custom 40mm dynamic driver and a unique resonant chamber design, the NTH-50 offers a detailed and balanced sound signature with low distortion across the frequency range.

Accurate, Balanced Sound

• At the heart of the NTH-50 is a custom-engineered 40mm dynamic driver, housed in a resonant chamber that reduces distortion and enhances low-end detail.
• The result is a clear, neutral sound signature that supports confident decision-making across a range of applications—from critical listening to creative production.
• The stereo image is natural and spacious, with just enough weight and warmth in the lows to make long sessions feel engaging without fatiguing the ears.

Designed for Comfort

• RØDE has paid close attention to comfort with a design that fits securely and wears lightly.
• The contoured headband includes a central pressure-relief zone for added comfort at the crown, while the memory-foam ear cushions form a soft but effective seal.
• The overall fit strikes a balance between stability and breathability, making the NTH-50s suitable for long hours of tracking, mixing, or streaming.

Stay Aware When You Need To

• Unlike heavily isolating designs, the NTH-50’s on-ear construction offers a controlled degree of situational awareness—ideal for DJs, content creators, or engineers, who need to stay connected to their environment while still maintaining accurate monitoring.
• Whether you’re cueing a track in a loud booth or communicating with a team on set, the NTH-50s help you stay in sync with your surroundings.

Quiet When It Counts

• Thanks to their closed-back design and passive noise isolation rated at -21 dBA, the NTH-50s help cut out unwanted background noise without sealing you off entirely.
• The same internal resonant chamber that shapes the sound also works to suppress outside interference, giving you a cleaner signal and fewer distractions.

Flexible, Travel-Ready, and Built for the Long Haul

• Dual cable entry points and a locking connector let you route the cable from either side, depending on your setup.
• The included 3.5mm to ¼-inch adapter makes it easy to switch between devices, and the COLOURS ID rings help personalize and organize your gear. A soft pouch keeps everything protected on the go.
• With a rugged, matte-finished shell and modular construction, the NTH-50s are made to withstand the wear and tear of regular use.
• Key components—including the cushions, headband pad, and cables—are all user-replaceable, and RØDE backs the design with a lifetime warranty. Every part is engineered with serviceability in mind, so you can keep your headphones performing like new.
