NTH-100 Professional Over-ear Headphones For Content Creation, Music Production, Mixing and Audio Editing, Podcasting, Location Recording (Black)

Notwithstanding the fact the ear cup brackets/hinges to the headband are known to be quite frail (see below revision - the problem has been solved permanently by Rode now), this set of headphones is superb. Rode have obviously worked extremely hard to engineer these to deliver a neutral and very detailed sound. You'll want to listen to all your favourite tracks to discover what you've been missing if you've been listening to them with anything else. The treble response is pristine, but can also sound a bit much if the source material hasn't been equalised correctly or there's upper-register distortion. Listening to "stripped" by Depeche Mode is hard with these headphones, as Dave Gahan's voice sounds rather harsh at times. But on 99.9% of the music I do listen to, whilst these headphones really do bring out the high-end detail, they were incredibly listenable and the extra detail is really appreciated. Nor can you say these sound too treble-orientated. You simply can't deny the bass response. Listen to the opening drum beats of Lorde's Royals at high volume, and you get an ear-drum (and ear) vibrating bass with huge weight behind it, yet still tightly controlled. You come away from trying these with a huge appreciation for what Rode has achieved. Their first attempt at reversing the relationship between air molecule and electron movement is a resounding success and they're going the right way about gaining a world-wide reputation for headphones as they currently have for microphones. One note. The lead supplied with the phones does have one end specifically designed to plug into the headphones themselves, even though both ends are 3.5mm jacks. This is because one end has a more plastic body with a twist-lock mechanism moulded into it, to stop it coming out of the headphones. If you fit the wrong end of the lead to headphones, or don't get the twist lock to engage, you'll get a horrible sound through these as the connector isn't making all the connections it should. Oh, and be careful with how you handle these headphones taking them on and off your head and storing them, if you want the hinges to last. I'd like to add that 8 months down the line, I'm as pleased with my NTH-100s as I was when I first got them. No hinge trauma! I've had a chance to compare these to the Sony 7506/1 professional studio headphones, which is another popular choice amongst buyers. I previously mentioned the Rode headphones may be a little too bright and could make some source material sound a little harsh at high listening levels. I can tell you that at those scratchy 2kHz - 4kHz frequencies, the Sony 7506 sound harder than the Rode NTH-100, but then potentially don't have quite as much very high frequency detail as the Rode headphones. There also seems to be a touch more low/weighty bass response compared to the Rode units. My judgement now is that the Rode headphones definitely strike a more listenable balance, even up to high listening levels. The 7506 could potentially be said to sound a little "peaky" at extreme lows and in the 2-4kHz range, and lacking in extreme HF. If I had to choose, I'd still pick the Rode as fantastic neutral sounding headphones and definitely a product that offers a sound quality which belies their price. Buy the Rode NTH-100 as they are most listenable "reference" headphones you'll ever need. REVISION -2 years on from purchase. My original hinges finally failed and I sent the headphones back to Rode for repair. Their customer support was very attentive, making sure I'd managed to get the repair booked in. It was as easy as sending the item back using an insured service after first making sure I'd registered my product on their website with proof of purchase and waiting for their explicit authorisation to return the item. 2 weeks on and I received replacement headphones. Sounding absolutely fantastic as usual. Better than ever in fact. I noticed the design of the FitLok hinges has changed significantly in response to the original issue, and I guess this is a permanent change for all newly manufactured headphones, so this is a none-issue now for anyone considering purchasing.

Blown away by the quality of these at a ridiculously good price. Built like a tank, superb sound quality and really comfortable. I’ve heard the plastic length clips are fragile but other than that, incredible; these won a massive What Hifi test too!

These RODE NTH-100 headphones are very good quality. So far they have lasted about one year eight months and look like they should just about last another two years of moderate use. They are exceptionally comfortable to use for long periods of time (although long use of computer screens and headphones without a break is not recommended). Also sound clarity is excellent. The only reason I haven't given these wired headphones five stars is that they are a bit expensive. I wish they were £60 or less, rather than £75.

OK, Had these babys just over a day now and my initial first thoughts are WOW, firstly the build quality on these is stellar love the construction of the yokes and the twisted metal which is something I have never seen before on any headphone design and gives them a touch of individuality. The pads are a unique shape and when I ordered these I did wonder if they would encompass my ears and be comfortable , Iam no Dumbo don't get me wrong but I do have larger than average ears but they dont stick out but the triangle shape openings fit nice and snug around my ears without pressing up against them, because of the shape of the opening my conclusion is they actually look smaller than they actually are. The dual sided cable option is another lovely touch from Rode and one which Iam sure will become more of the norm eventually with other manufacturers. The pads are lovely and soft and as a glasses wearer find them provide a good seal. SOUND......these are very similar to the sound signature of the Sennheiser 6XX stellar headphone, Rode have done a great job on these and being their first foray into the crowded headphone market I must say Iam very impressed and this is coming from someone who has listened to a lot of the major players and their best efforts and these are not my first headphone but could well be one of my last or at least one of my favourites for closed backs. To describe this by summing up I would say the words smooth but detailed in no way harsh or sibilant , forgiving but honest and instruments sound VERY natural and voices also have a resonance and honesty about them also maybe slightly pushed back in the mix but thats minimal. The soundstage is not huge in any shape or form but these being closed back I would not expect that but the imaging and seperation is superb (like the 600 series 6XX) Bass is tight and deep when it is called for in fact my EQ settings are normally giving a little lift to the bass shelf but with the Rode I found I just flattened it out completely and had no EQ setting whatsoever just let them do their thing which with a monitor headphone is what the manufacturer really wants. Just a great sounding closed back headphonne , stellar build quality with unique features and pads.

Słuchawki grają bardzo czysto i precyzyjnie. Na plus konstrukcja, odpinany kabel Jack 3,5 mam, dopasowanie do uszu.

なるべくそのままの状態を耳で聴きたかったので、こちらは買って良かったです。 散財小説ドリキンさんのレビューを見て買うのを決めました。
