ATH-R50x

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.

 

Highlights:

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.

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

 

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

 

Open-back Vs. Closed-back

Open-back
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.
