Rode NTH-100 Professional Over-Ear Headphone

The RØDE NTH-100s are professional over-ear headphones that are perfect for all forms of content creation, including mixing, audio and video production, location recording, podcasting and streaming. Combining exceptional sonic performance, superior comfort and iconic looks, the NTH-100s offer an incredible aural experience that inspires creativity.

Audio as it's meant to be heard

The NTH-100s are designed to preserve the purity of what you are creating. Featuring custom-matched drivers that deliver an extremely accurate frequency response and a state-of-the-art acoustic design optimized for exceptional detail and clarity, they offer an incredibly articulate listening experience. They are very natural-sounding headphones with a sound signature akin to open-backs, but with all the advantages of closed-backs, including passive isolation from external sounds and no leakage into your room or microphones. The unique ergonomic earcups are contoured to the shape of the ear for superior acoustic performance, with memory foam cushions ensuring excellent isolation from external noise. They are low-impedance and high-sensitivity headphones, making them very easy to drive with any interface, mixer, or headphone amplifier

Most comfortable headphones ever. Period.

The NTH-100s feature luxurious Alcantara® fabric on the earpad and headband cushions. This is a premium material often used in sports cars and high-end fashion. It is supremely comfortable to the touch – highly breathable and very soft – and extremely durable (more on this later). The earpads also feature our revolutionary CoolTech™ gel integrated into the cushions, which absorbs and dissipates heat, actively cooling your ears to reduce wearing fatigue. This feature is invaluable for creators who often find themselves in long, arduous sessions – from mixing engineers to podcasters. The balanced frequency response of the NTH-100s is also perfect for long sessions as it reduces listening fatigue that can be caused by pronounced frequencies common in other headphones.

The ergonomic earcups are incredibly comfortable and also feature a bi-directional adjustment system and memory foam cushions, which not only ensure excellent sound isolation but also give the headphones a custom-fit feel for any head size or shape (even for people who wear glasses). They also feature cable attachments on both the left and right earcups, with cables available in both 2.4m and 1.2m variants for maximum convenience. Finally, the NTH-100s feature a fully adjustable headband with our innovative FitLok™ locking system that secures the earcups in place, so they feel exactly how you remember them every time you put them on. 

Style in a class of its own

The NTH-100s not only sound and feel incredible, but they also ooze style. The perfect marriage of classic aesthetics and cutting-edge industrial design. An instant icon. The Alcantara® cushions give the headphones a premium look and feel, complemented by the clean lines and high-grade finishes of the earcups and headband. The ergonomic earcup design is not only acoustically optimal but also aesthetically unique, topped off by the iconic RØDE ‘Ø’ and gold dot. The NTH-100s also feature a modular design: the earpads, headband, and cable are all user-customizable, with four colors available (after launch and sold separately).

Built for creative endurance

Like all RØDE products, the NTH-100s are precision-engineered using the highest quality components and built to withstand the rigors of creating day in, day out. Every element of their construction has been meticulously designed for longevity: the headband is high-grade stainless spring steel with a highly durable coating; the Alcantara® earpad and headband cushions are extremely resistant to wear and tear; the earpads and headband are both user-replaceable and can be taken off in seconds; and the flexible, easy-roll cable is also highly durable and user-replaceable. The bi-directional earcup adjustment design is incredibly sturdy and the FitLok headband locking system minimizes movement when the headphones aren’t in use. The NTH-100s also come with a storage pouch for keeping them safe on the road or in the field.

Unmatched durability

From the beginning, we set out to make a pair of headphones that, in addition to looking, sounding, and feeling incredible, was also supremely tough. Every decision regarding design elements, materials and construction details was made to ensure the highest level of reliability and durability, with a rigorous testing process validating each choice we made. The stainless spring steel headband was tested under extreme pressure over 20,000 times (equating to roughly 25 years of daily use) to ensure it will never wear out. Every component was made to last, right down to the wire that links the earcups. These are rated to withstand over 25kg of force, so if it gets snagged on something in your bag, it will not stretch or break
