RØDE NTH-50

RØDE NTH-50: Professional On-Ear Monitoring for the Modern Creator

For musicians and content creators who are on the road a lot, large over-ear headphones are often clunky and heavy. The challenge, however, is to find a more compact model that maintains the honest frequency response of a studio monitor. The RØDE NTH-50 solves this problem by integrating RØDE’s high-quality audio technology into an on-ear design that is both portable and extremely comfortable. Whether you are recording an interview on location, editing video on the train or monitoring your own vocals in the booth; the NTH-50 provides a clear and detailed soundstage without fatiguing your ears.

• FitLok™ System: The headband’s unique locking mechanism ensures the fit is exactly the same every time you put the headphones on.

• Superior Passive Isolation: Despite its on-ear design, the NTH-50 offers excellent ambient noise attenuation, perfect for recording in noisy locations.

Why choose the RØDE NTH-50?

Choosing the RØDE NTH-50 is a choice for mobility without loss of quality. For the professional engineer or podcaster, this means you can count on a “flat” frequency response. You will hear your audio exactly as it is, which is essential for making the right decisions during mixing or recording.

At i4studio, we recommend the NTH-50 to users looking for versatile headphones they can take anywhere. Where many on-ear models tend to become uncomfortably compressed over time, the ergonomic design of the NTH-50 ensures that you can wear it for hours on end. It is an essential tool for anyone who is serious about audio and needs a reliable point of reference, regardless of location.

1. Is the RØDE NTH-50 also suitable for mixing in the studio? Sure. Its fair frequency response allows you to use the NTH-50 just fine for critical listening tasks.

4. How does the FitLok™ system work? FitLok allows you to lock the headband sliders with a simple twist. This prevents the headphones from shifting during use and provides constant pressure on the ears.

5. Is a bag included? Yes, the NTH-50 comes with a soft storage case, a cable and a screw adapter for professional audio equipment.
