The Audio-Technica ATH-R50x Open-Back Reference Headphones are professional reference headphones that feature an open-back design and a detachable cable.
The Audio-Technica ATH-R50x Open-Back Reference Headphones provide a natural listening experience designed for professional critical-listening tasks. These professional open-back reference headphones utilize an expansive soundstage to support accurate audio reproduction in studio environments.
The ATH-R50x features drivers modeled after the original ATH-R70x, re-engineered to deliver powerful bass response and an accurate upper midrange. This design ensures clarity for vocals and lead instruments while maintaining overall tonal balance. The pure open-back design allows for unrestricted airflow, which eliminates internal resonance and provides a quick transient response.
These headphones deliver dynamic and detailed audio with powerful sub-bass directly from the drivers. The realistic soundstage provides an immersive listening experience without additional acoustic tuning. The ATH-R50x maintains a full-spectrum sound that remains faithful to the source material, supporting stereo, surround, and immersive audio formats.
Engineered for long-term use, the ATH-R50x features a durable and lightweight construction weighing only 207 grams. A newly designed headband enhances comfort during extended sessions. The fully open earcups offer greater breathability and comfort compared to closed-back models, making them suitable for demanding production schedules.
The ATH-R50x serves as a precise and reliable reference tool for mixing, mastering, and content creation. Its versatile performance makes it an ideal choice for both professional and home studio setups. The design provides the accuracy required for high-stakes audio production while ensuring the user remains comfortable.
The headphones include two detachable cables to suit different workspace requirements. The package contains a 3.0 m (9.8') cable and a 1.2 m (3.9') cable. Each cable features a 2.5 mm twist-lock connector for the left earcup and a 3.5 mm (1/8") gold-plated stereo mini-plug.
