Audio-Technica ATH-R50x Open-back Reference Headphones

Reference Sound with Clarity and Comfort

When you need an authentic listening experience for your project, reach for the Audio-Technica ATH-R50x. These open-back reference headphones come equipped with 45mm integrated drivers with a 5Hz–40kHz frequency response that provides an expansive soundstage. Ideal for any critical listening task, these headphones are used by many here at City Music, from guitarists fine-tuning tracks to content creators mixing video audio. The drivers are modeled after those in their big brother, the ATH-R70x, and are engineered to deliver powerful bass despite the open-back design. The pure open-back design doesn’t embellish the sound from the drivers for a rich natural tone with greater comfort than closed-back headphones thanks to their newly designed headband, open earcups, and lightweight construction.

A natural listening experience

The ATH-R50x headphones are designed to provide full-spectrum audio while helping you avoid fatigue from use. The 45mm drivers have been re-engineered for an accurate upper midrange and surprisingly powerful bass that ensure the clarity of vocals and instruments without skewing balance. With a pure open-back build, the sound is never embellished by the drivers, delivering a realistic, natural experience without additional acoustic tuning. This means the headphones are reliable for reference in various formats, including stereo, surround, and immersive.
