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.
