Audio-Technica ATH-R50X Open-Back Headphones

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.

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.

Natalie ★★★★★

The open-back design lets every breath of the snare and cymbal shimmer through uncolored, which made my last session feel like the speakers vanished. The diaphragms respond so instantly that even subtle EQ moves are obvious, and the comfort lets me wear them for hours without fatigue.

Eli Y. ★★★★★

I’ve been using these for mixing, and the way each driver movement translates directly into the sound makes placement incredibly precise. The open-back design lets the high frequencies breathe naturally. They’ve definitely earned a spot in my daily setup.

Richard ★★★★★

Finally, open-back headphones that don't sacrifice bass response for clarity—the driver's direct translation makes cymbal hits feel crisp without being harsh. The lightweight design actually lets me wear them for full mixing sessions without any fatigue.
