*Important Notes Regarding Electrical Appliances*
[Voltage]
Japanese electrical appliances are designed for Japanese voltage specifications (90–110V). Using them with a different voltage may cause malfunctions; please use a voltage transformer.
[Plug Type]
Japanese electrical appliances use Japanese plug configurations (Type A or Type B).
Please use a plug adapter if necessary.
[Important Information: Voltage Transformers vs. Plug Adapters]
A voltage transformer adjusts the voltage to match your device's specifications.
A plug adapter merely changes the plug shape and does not adjust the voltage.
Using only a plug adapter without a voltage transformer may result in product damage.
[Disclaimer]
We accept no liability for malfunctions or damage resulting from improper use, such as operating the device without a voltage transformer.
These headphones push the boundaries of open-type design, controlling airflow and reproducing the original sound solely through diaphragm movement: Closed-type and semi-open headphones create sound by utilizing housing resonance to enhance bass. On the other hand, this product, which embodies "true open-air audio," does not enhance bass with the housing, but instead eliminates resonance, allowing the driver's reproduced sound to reach the ear directly. A unique driver design that controls the airflow generated from the driver while keeping the front and back of the housing open achieves a pure and realistic sound field.
Covering a frequency range from 5 to 40,000 Hz: In today's studios and stages, where various output formats exist, engineers need reliable reference headphones that can be in any studio or work environment. The "R" series covers the frequency range required in the field.
Supports monitoring with mobile devices and DAPs (digital audio players): Unlike the R70xa, its impedance is 50Ω, allowing for accurate monitoring with smartphones, portable players, PCs, and other devices besides professional equipment, making it easy to use on the go.
Newly designed headband and head pad for comfort during long work sessions: The robust metal headband construction and new head pad combine simplicity and strength, providing comfortable use even during extended work sessions. It also features essential maintenance features for engineers and creators who wear headphones daily. Regular maintenance, such as replacing the cord, will allow you to enjoy a single pair of headphones for a long time.
Acoustic design for demanding audio production: The ATH-R50x provides engineers and audio professionals with accurate sound for easy monitoring anywhere, from the studio to home recording. The open-back headphones deliver detail and accuracy, reproducing sound with realistic timbre and dynamic nuances, enabling truly immersive and natural monitoring. Unrestricted airflow and suppression of unwanted internal resonances allow for extremely fast transient response, ensuring the clarity and separation needed to handle complex modern mixes.
