    Description

    The ATH-R50x professional open-back reference headphones are designed to provide a natural listening experience with an expansive soundstage that’s ideal for all manner of critical-listening tasks. The headphones’ drivers are modelled after those used in the original ATH-R70x, now re-engineered to deliver bass that’s surprisingly powerful for an open-back model, plus an accurate upper midrange to ensure the clarity of vocals and lead instruments without sacrificing overall balance.

    Key to delivering this natural, full-spectrum sound is the headphones’ pure open-back design, which doesn’t embellish the sound coming from the drivers. The ATH-R50x headphones are engineered to deliver dynamic, detailed audio, with powerful sub-bass and a realistic soundstage, directly from the drivers without any additional acoustic tuning. The fully open earcups also provide greater comfort than closed-back models – comfort enhanced by the newly designed headband and durable, lightweight construction.
     
    Perfect for mixing, mastering, or creating, the ATH-R50x provides precise, reliable reference across stereo, surround, and immersive formats, making it a versatile choice for any professional or home studio.

    Pure Open-Back
    Design

    ——————————————————————
    Fully open-back sound relies solely on the performance of the
    driver, with each diaphragm movement directly translating
    into sound. The ATH-R50x open-back design allows
    unrestricted airflow that prevents any distortion or artificial
    enhancement to the sound. The headphones deliver pure
    sound directly from the transducer for an authentic open-
    back experience.

    velour earpads and cooling, open-back earcups add to the
    comfort, allowing you to stay fully immersed in the audio
    even through the longest listening sessions.

    Ideal for mixing, mastering, and creating in a studio or other private
    space, open-back headphones provide a natural, spacious sound
    akin to that produced by a speaker monitor system.

    Closed-Back

    Closed-back headphones, on the other hand, isolate audio from
    outside noise, making them great for musicians recording in a studio
    or anyone listening in public or noisy environments.
