Beautifully Balanced Audio Performance
At the core of the NTH-50 is a custom-engineered 40mm dynamic driver inside an advanced resonant chamber. This setup delivers crisp, natural sound with ultra-low distortion and a perfectly balanced audio profile: rich bass, clear mids, and sparkling highs. Whether mixing, mastering, or enjoying music, these headphones reproduce sound with remarkable accuracy and dynamic depth.
Designed to perform in noisy environments, the NTH-50s offer excellent passive noise isolation (-21 dBA) to reduce distractions and prevent sound leakage. They also feature high sound pressure level (SPL) capabilities and sensitivity, ensuring clear and pristine audio even during live performances or in busy studios.
Unrivalled Comfort for Long Sessions
Comfort is as important as sound quality, and the NTH-50 excels on both counts. Its contoured headband includes a recessed area to reduce pressure on the top of the head, minimising fatigue during extended use.
The lightweight, adjustable design distributes weight evenly, fitting comfortably on all users, including those who wear glasses.
The earcups are lined with premium memory foam that moulds to the ear’s shape, providing a snug but breathable fit. This enhances airflow to keep ears cool while also improving passive noise dampening.
Built to Last a Lifetime
Manufactured in Sydney, the NTH-50 headphones feature premium aluminium faceplates that are both lightweight and durable for daily professional use. They come with a modular design, allowing easy replacement of the headband, ear cushions, and cables to extend their lifespan. The dual-sided cable connection and colour-coded earcup markers add convenience, especially in low-light settings.
The matte black finish is scratch-resistant and gives the headphones a sleek, professional appearance.
Extras and Compatibility
Included with the NTH-50 is a 1.7m double-coiled monitoring cable, a storage pouch, and a 3.5mm to ¼-inch adapter, ensuring compatibility with various professional audio setups.
Colour-coded ID rings help with cable management, and the headphones are fully compatible with the NTH-100 accessory range, including modular cables. Additionally, the NTH-Mic upgrade transforms them into a broadcast-quality headset—ideal for podcasting, streaming, and content creation.
