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.

FEATURES

  • Professional open-back reference headphones with extended bass and accurate midrange provide exceptional all-around performance for demanding audio production

  • Fully open-back design allows unrestricted airflow to eliminate internal resonance and provide extremely quick transient response 

  • Wide, realistic soundstage provides an immersive listening experience

  • Durable, lightweight (207 g) construction and a new headband design ensure long-lasting comfort

  • Comes with two detachable cables (3.0 m (9.8') and 1.2 m (3.9')) each with a 2.5 mm twist-lock connector at the left earcup and a 3.5 (1/8") gold-plated stereo mini-plug

  • Includes a 6.3 mm (1/4") adapter and a carrying pouch

Unrestricted Driver Performance - 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.  

Extended Comfort - Lightweight Design
The headband on the lightweight ATH-R50x (207 g) is designed to keep you comfortable for hours. The replaceable 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.
