RØDE NTH-50: Professional sound for under 100 euros? No, this is not a joke. Grab the chance!

Studio quality for a fraction of the cost.

RØDE, an icon in the microphone world, has finally introduced the first true headphones for all of us looking for quality sound without selling our kidneys. RØDE NTH-50 for under 100 euros? Yes, please.

In a world where audio equipment often costs more than plane ticket to Tokyo, RØDE opts for something completely un-Australian: modesty. Their new model RØDE NTH-50 is the first real attempt to enter the hi-fi headphone market for the masses – and judging by first impressions, it's a surprisingly serious performer.

For $99 (which is about 95 euros in our country, or one dinner in Ljubljana), you get a closed, on-ear headphone armed with custom 40mm drivers, dressed in matte black, and wrapped in comfort worthy of a recording studio.

Engineering Zen: Resonance Chambers and Frequency Ballet

Although it sounds like marketing gibberish, RØDE swears by its innovative resonance system, which, in conjunction with low-distortion drivers, delivers a sound that is said to be “perfectly balanced.” And when a company that has been convincing studio purists for decades says so, it’s worth listening.

The frequency range of 5 Hz to 35 kHz is more impressive on paper than in your ear (your eardrums will probably stop sooner), but what counts is the balance: no artificial emphasis, no hipster bass, just raw, honest sound.

Comfort you can't find even in Adria's premium seats

The NTH-50 aren’t just for listening – they’re for wearing. Engineered with 10-hour sessions in mind, that means memory foam, an anatomical headband and featherweight. Nothing is left to chance – every part is replaceable, from the cable to the ear cushions. Modularity that would make IKEA jealous.

The sound of silence: passive insulation that works

Although they lack active noise cancellation (ANC is an expensive luxury in this class), the passive isolation on the NTH-50 works better than many over-ear competitors. On stage, in the studio, or in a basement room with a growling radiator - the sound remains clear.


Conclusion: audio for people

The RØDE NTH-50 is an example of a rare balance between price, quality and usability. It’s not a toy, it’s not a fad, it’s not another “influencer must-have”. It’s a tool. An honest, robust and above all honest tool. If you’re looking for headphones that do more than just look cool on Instagram, you’ve just found them.

For 99 euros? Seriously? Yes. And it's the most beautiful sound of this spring.
