Audio-Technica ATH-R50x Professional Open-Back Reference Headphones
The Audio-Technica ATH-R50x professional open-back reference headphones are engineered to deliver a natural listening experience with an expansive soundstage, making them ideal for critical listening, mixing, mastering, and content creation. Designed for accuracy and balance, they provide reliable reference audio across a wide range of production environments.
The drivers are modeled after those used in the flagship ATH-R70x and have been re-engineered to produce surprisingly powerful bass for an open-back design, along with a precise upper midrange that ensures clear vocals and lead instruments without compromising overall tonal balance.
At the core of the ATH-R50x’s performance is its pure open-back design, which allows unrestricted airflow to eliminate internal resonance and coloration. This results in dynamic, detailed sound with strong sub-bass and an exceptionally realistic soundstage, delivered directly from the drivers without artificial acoustic tuning.
Comfort is equally important, and the fully open earcups help reduce heat buildup compared to closed-back models. A newly designed headband and lightweight construction further enhance long-term wearability, making these headphones suitable for extended studio sessions.
Perfect for professionals and home studio users alike, the ATH-R50x offers precise monitoring across stereo, surround, and immersive formats, providing dependable performance for demanding audio production tasks.
