Røde has added the NTH-50 professional on-ear headphone model to its headphone line-up.
Promising a ‘natural and balanced sound signature with ultra-low distortion and superior passive noise isolation’, the NTH-50s are intended for DJs, sound engineers and content creators.
At the heart of the NTH-50s is a custom-engineered 40mm dynamic driver housed in an innovative resonant chamber, designed for sound clarity, accurate frequency response, ultra-low distortion and a balanced sound signature. Engineered to excel in diverse environments, the NTH-50s offer high passive noise isolation (-21dBA), minimising external distractions and preventing sound bleed during recording.
The NTH-50 blends its engineering with a design that prioritises user comfort. A contoured headband, featuring an integrated fontanel recess has been adopted to alleviate pressure on the top of the head, reducing fatigue during extended creative sessions in the studio, on stage or in the field. Lightweight and fully adjustable, the NTH-50 evenly distributes pressure for a tailored fit that effortlessly accommodates all users, including those who wear glasses.
Complementing the on-ear design, the earcups are lined with memory foam padding, engineered to conform to the unique contours of any ears. This ensures a snug yet breathable fit, enhancing airflow to reduce heat build-up while offering advanced passive noise damping.
The NTH-50 has been crafted using lightweight yet durable materials such as premium aluminium faceplates, developed to withstand the rigours of daily professional use. Backed by Røde’s lifetime warranty, a modular design featuring replaceable components such as the headband, ear cushions and cables ensures maximum longevity, while dual-sided cable attachments add flexibility to any workflow. Colour-coded earcup identifiers ensure quick and easy orientation in low-light environments. Finished with a scratch-resistant matte black coating, the NTH-50 offers a ‘sleek and professional aesthetic’.
