To get the most out of your audio experience, selecting headphones that match your specific needs is key. Whether that's studio mixing, live DJing, or enjoying high-fidelity sound on the go, RØDE presents two exceptional choices: the NTH-100 and the NTH-50. Both offer professional-grade audio, but cater to different user scenarios and comfort preferences.
This quick guide will help you decide which pair is right for you.
NTH-100
The NTH-100 headphones are a top choice for studio professionals and content creators who spend hours immersed in audio. With custom-matched 40mm drivers and a wide frequency response, they offer highly accurate sound ideal for podcasting, mixing, mastering, and critical listening. Comfort is also a standout feature thanks to the Alcantara® ear cushions and CoolTech™ gel. Both of these features allow the NTH-100s to stay cool and comfortable even during marathon sessions.
The over-ear, closed-back design provides solid passive noise isolation, making them a fantastic all-rounder for controlled studio environments.
NTH-50
The NTH-50 headphones are built for mobility and versatility. Designed with DJs, music producers, and casual audiophiles in mind, they feature an on-ear design that’s compact, lightweight, and ideal for travel or stage use. The resonant chamber and ultra-low distortion provide a natural, detailed sound, while the contoured headband and pressure-minimising housing ensure comfort during longer sessions.
If you’re looking for portable, professional-grade sound without the bulk of over-ear headphones, the NTH-50s are a great choice.
