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

Fantastic, detailed, sound quality, more neutral than the Sony 7506/1
Notwithstanding the fact the ear cup brackets/hinges to the headband are known to be quite frail, 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. They’re 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.

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。

For a dude who wears glasses these are the perfect fit for me, if you have big ears they may not be great for you but I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality and comfort. Straight out of the box I put them to the test for an edit and they gave a great flat response which enabled me to get the same outcome as if I was mixing audio with my HS5 monitors. The ability to put the cable on either side is a nice touch and the cloth covers are soft with the padding being a little firm although it’ll likely soften over time. They’re not as portable as previous headphones but it’s a small trade off for the overall quality. I’m yet to get ear fatigue and compared to similar priced headphones I’ve owned these are easily the best. My only gripe with these headphones is the cable seems to send a louder than normal handling noise into the cup if touched whilst being used. I’ve read that some people thought these sounded dull but mine are great! Rode are a fantastic company and this product has lived up to their normally high standard. The build quality seems to be more robust than most too but as a sweaty man, I’ll update this review to see how they handle over time.
