RØDE NTH-100

★★★★★ 4.8 (14)

Custom-matched 40mm dynamic drivers and a 5Hz-35kHz frequency response deliver an accurate, detailed sound profile suitable for critical listening. The closed-back design provides passive isolation, while Alcantara cushions with CoolTech gel actively reduce heat buildup during extended use. These headphones are best for audio editors and podcasters who require long-wearing comfort and precise, uncolored monitoring in a studio environment.
