Description
The Audio-Technica ATH-R50x professional open-back reference headphones are crafted to deliver a natural listening experience, combining an expansive soundstage, exceptional clarity, and impactful dynamics. Designed for critical listening, these headphones feature reengineered 45mm drivers inspired by the acclaimed ATH-R70x. They offer surprisingly powerful bass for an open-back design and a meticulously accurate upper midrange that enhances vocal and lead instrument clarity without compromising tonal balance.
The fully open-back earcup design enhances airflow, reducing internal resonance to produce precise, natural sound with an immersive, realistic soundstage. Weighing only 7.3 oz, the ATH-R50x boasts a lightweight yet durable metal-reinforced construction, an improved headband for a customized fit, and replaceable velour earpads for exceptional comfort during extended sessions.
Expansive, Reference-Grade Soundstage
Key to achieving the ATH-R50x's full, unembellished sound is its pure open-back construction. The open ear cups allow unrestricted airflow, eliminating internal resonances for extremely quick transient response. This open-air design also creates an impressively wide, realistic soundstage that immerses you in your audio. You'll experience a true sense of space and dimension—perfect for evaluating stereo imaging, surround sound mixes or binaural/immersive formats.
Articulate Bass Extension
While open-back headphones are renowned for their airy highs and midrange accuracy, the ATH-R50x also delivers robust bass that's striking for an open-air model. Reengineered from the ATH-R70x blueprint, these headphones produce powerful sub-bass frequencies with excellent definition. You'll be able to discern subtle low-end details and tight transient response that's crucial for mixing basslines, kick drums and other bass-heavy content.
Transparent Midrange Clarity
Of course, the ATH-R50x also excels at reproducing accurate, articulate midrange frequencies. Engineered to provide exceptional clarity, these headphones let you zero in on vocal tracks, guitars, keys and other critical midrange elements with stunning transparency. You can make precise adjustments to avoid masking and ensure ideal separation in this crucial frequency range.
Lightweight Comfort for Marathon Sessions
In addition to their premium sound quality, the ATH-R50x headphones are built for long-lasting comfort during extended studio sessions. Their durable yet lightweight 7.3 oz. construction stays comfortable hour after hour, while the newly designed headband provides a secure, fatigue-free fit. You also get two detachable cables (9.8' and 3.9') with twist-lock connectors, a 1/4" adapter and a carrying pouch.
