Description
ATH-R50x
Professional Open-Back Reference Headphones
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, creating, or just listening and enjoying — the ATH-R50x provides precise, reliable reference across stereo, surround, and immersive formats, making it a versatile choice for any professional or home studio.
- 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 without cable) 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.
/ Flexible Listening
Two Cables
ATH-R50x includes two detachable cables — 1.2m and 3.0m in length — for flexible use both in the studio and at home. Each cable terminates in a 3.5 mm mini jack, and a 6.3 mm (1/4”) adapter is included for use with source equipment that requires it.
