Professional On-Ear Headphones for Studio Use

The Rode NTH-50 are closed-back on-ear headphones built for DJs, sound engineers and content creators who spend long hours monitoring audio. A custom 40mm dynamic driver and resonant chamber deliver balanced frequency response with ultra-low distortion. Alcantara-covered memory foam cushions provide comfort during extended sessions.

40mm Driver Capacity and Headroom

The 40mm driver handles high sound pressure levels while preserving a natural stereo image and detailed high frequencies. Bass remains rich and rounded without overwhelming the midrange, making the headphones reliable for critical mixing decisions. Passive isolation reduces external bleed but does not eliminate loud ambient noise in live environments.

3.5mm Cable with 1/4-Inch Adapter

The package includes a detachable headphone cable terminated in a 3.5mm plug plus a 1/4-inch adapter for professional interfaces. This wired connection ensures zero latency and broad compatibility with mixers, controllers and audio interfaces. Wireless operation or digital inputs are not supported.

Questions about this item

Will the 3.5 mm to 1/4-inch adapter let me connect these headphones to older studio gear that only has a quarter-inch jack?

Yes, the box includes a 3.5 mm to 1/4-inch adapter so you can plug the NTH-50 directly into legacy mixers, interfaces or amplifiers with a quarter-inch socket.

How can I verify the custom-matched 40 mm drivers are performing correctly after I set them up?

Play a calibrated reference track; the NTH-50 should reveal a balanced frequency response with ultra-low distortion, clear stereo imaging and no audible rattling at high SPL.

Which cables and adapters are included with the NTH-50, and is anything else required for basic wired use?

The package supplies a detachable headphone cable and a 3.5 mm to 1/4-inch adapter — everything needed for wired monitoring; no extra purchase is required.
