Beautifully Balanced Audio

At the heart of the NTH-50s is a custom-engineered 40mm dynamic driver housed within an innovative resonant chamber. This design delivers impeccable sound clarity, offering incredibly accurate frequency response, ultra-low distortion and a perfectly balanced sound signature that combines rich, natural bass with detailed midrange, and crisp highs. Whether you’re monitoring, mixing, mastering, or enjoying your favourite tracks, the NTH-50s provide incredibly accurate sound reproduction and dynamic tonal depth, capturing every nuance exactly as intended.

Complementing the on-ear design, the earcups are lined with premium memory foam padding, expertly engineered to conform to the unique contours of any ears. This ensures a snug yet breathable fit, enhancing airflow to reduce heat buildup while simultaneously offering advanced passive noise dampening.

Built to Last a Lifetime

Designed and built in Sydney, Australia, the NTH-50s have been masterfully 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 have also been applied to ensure quick and easy orientation in low-light environments, a thoughtful touch that reflects RØDE’s commitment to innovation. Finished with a scratch-resistant matte black coating, the NTH-50s offer a sleek and professional aesthetic that accentuates their robust performance.

The NTH-50s include a premium 1.7m double coiled monitoring cable, storage pouch, and a 3.5mm to ¼-inch adapter, ensuring seamless connectivity across professional setups.
