Audio-Technica ATH-R50x Pure Open-Back Reference Headphone

Audio-Technica ATH-R50x Professional Open-Back Reference Headphone

The Audio-Technica ATH-R50x professional open-back reference headphones are designed to provide a natural listening experience with an expansive soundstage that’s ideal for all manner of critical listening tasks. The headphones’ drivers are modeled after those in the original ATH-R70x, now re-engineered to deliver bass that’s surprisingly powerful for an open-back model, while bringing vocals and lead instruments forward with natural clarity that preserves overall balance. Additionally, the fully open earcups provide greater comfort than closed-back models.

Key to delivering this natural, full-spectrum sound is the headphones’ pure open-back design, which doesn’t embellish the sound coming from the drivers. The ATH-R50x headphones are engineered to deliver dynamic, detailed audio with powerful sub-bass and a realistic soundstage, directly from the drivers without any additional acoustic tuning. The fully open earcups also provide greater comfort than closed-back models—comfort enhanced by the newly designed headband and durable, lightweight construction.

Perfect for mixing, mastering, or creating, the ATH-R50x provides precise, reliable reference across stereo, surround, and immersive formats, making it a versatile choice for any professional or home studio.

Pure Open-Back Design

Fully open-back sound relies solely on the performance of the driver, with each diaphragm movement directly translating into sound. The ATH-R50x open-back design allows unrestricted airflow that prevents any distortion or artificial enhancement to the sound. The headphones deliver pure sound directly from the transducer for an authentic open-back experience.

Lightweight Design

The headband on the lightweight ATH-R50x (207 g) is designed to keep you comfortable for hours. The replaceable velour earpads and cooling, open-back earcups add to the comfort, allowing you to stay fully immersed in the audio even through the longest listening sessions.
