Microphones, podcasting solutions, field recording solutions, and so much more make RODE’s lineup what it is. They have recently unveiled their first foray into the world of professional headphones with the NTH-100. These are a pair of professional over-ear flat-response monitoring headphones.

The Detailed Features
Exceptional Audio
The NTH-100’s feature custom-matched dynamic drivers that have been tuned for an accurate frequency response and low distortion, they are remarkably natural-sounding headphones. This is further enhanced by the contoured design of the earcup, and memory foam cushions for excellent passive noise isolation.
Fit for purpose voicing
The drivers feature a custom voice coil with a four-layer aluminium alloy at its core, which is coupled to a triple-layer Mylar diaphragm. This is combined with a neodymium magnet and innovative phase plug inspired by RODE’s NTG5 microphone. This delivers an accurate frequency and phase response for an articulate listening experience.
Comfortability prioritised
The most important factor in a set of headphones is obviously audio, but comfortability is a close second. Specifically in the case of monitoring headphones, which tend to be worn for hours on end. the NTH-100’s offer luxurious Alcantara earcups with a layer of CoolTech gel, which absorbs and dissipates heat, and significantly reduces hearing fatigue.
The Tech Specs
It’s clear that we think these headphones are great, and offer an excellent experience, but the numbers matter too. In this regard, the NTH-100’s do not dissapoint, and support the claims and experience entirely.
