Engineered for the most lifelike audio, delivered in comfort, the Audio Technica ATH-R50x headphones let you hear the true sound.

Designed for the critical listener
Open-backed, for unrestricted airflow, the Audio Technica ATH-R50x headphones make the perfect choice for critical listening. With an expansive soundstage and powerful bass, they deliver the ideal balance of vocal clarity and punchy dynamics. The lightweight, over-ear design, with breathable velour earpads, remains comfortable for extended listening sessions. Supplied with long (3m) and short (1.2m) cables, they’re supremely versatile too.

Powerful, authentic sound
Featuring proprietary 45mm drivers, with rare earth magnets and copper-clad aluminium wire voice coils, these headphones are powerful and responsive. True to the original signal, they deliver authentic sound, just as the musicians intended.

Immersive soundstaging
The open-back design means that the airflow from the drivers is unrestricted. While this means that they lack noise isolation and that others in the room can hear the sound, the trade-off comes from a wider and more immersive soundstage than closed-back headphones deliver. If you want to feel fully enveloped by the sound, then these make the ideal choice.

Supreme comfort
Weighing just 207 grammes, the ATH-R50x headphones are amongst the lightest in their class. Combined with the padded headband and breathable velour earpads, the lightweight design ensures fatigue-free listening for hour after hour.

Suits a wide range of devices
Although at their best when used with a dedicated headphone amp, the ATH-R50x’s are efficient enough to be paired with a portable device. For the ideal cable length when on the move, or at home, they come supplied with both 1.2 metre and 3 metre cables. Fitted with a 3.5mm plug, they fit the majority of portable devices, with a 6.3mm convertor supplied for home and studio use.
