The ATH-R30x are open-back headphones that control airflow and reproduce original sound solely through the movement of the diaphragm. These reference headphones inherit the sonic design of their higher-end models and allow you to easily create a home music production environment. Open-back headphones do not use a housing to enhance low frequencies, but instead eliminate resonance, allowing the driver's sound to be delivered directly to your ears. The unique driver design allows for control of the airflow generated by the driver while leaving the front and back of the housing open, creating a pure and realistic sound field.
Covering a frequency range from 15 to 25,000Hz: providing solid bass, clear midrange, and smooth, expansive highs, allowing you to monitor every detail. The sound of open-back headphones is strongly influenced by the performance of the drivers, with the movement of the diaphragm being directly converted into sound. This provides an extremely pure open-back sound with minimal distortion.
Acoustically designed for home music production: Ideal for home music production, video editing, and everyday monitoring. Open-back headphones deliver detail and accuracy, reproducing sound with realistic tonal color and dynamic nuances for immersive, natural monitoring. And at just 210g, they're ideal for long-term work.
Adjustable headband for secure fit and flexibility: The headband distributes the weight of the headphones evenly, reducing fatigue even when worn for long periods of time. The combination of soft velour ear pads and a breathable open-back design allows for comfortable monitoring at all times. The ear pads and headband are replaceable, allowing for long-term use.
Supports monitoring on mobile devices and DAPs (digital audio players): Unlike the R70xa, the impedance is 36 ohms, allowing for accurate monitoring on smartphones, portable players, PCs, and other non-professional devices, making it easy to use on the go.
