Enjoy Your Music in a Totally New Way

Rode has been at the forefront of modern mic design since the company debuted the NT1. Now, the company has set its sights on creating a pair of headphones that provide outstanding audio, all-day comfort, and sleek good looks — all at an accessible price. The ergonomically-designed, closed-back ear cups come loaded with custom-matched drivers that flaunt an amazingly accurate frequency response from 5Hz to 35kHz. They showcase excellent imaging and have the clarity you need to pick out every element in a mix. You’ll enjoy a comfortable listening experience from the moment you put them on, thanks to the memory foam padding and CoolTech gel. You can attach the cable to any side you want, which is a major plus. The NTH-100s are a lights-out choice for streamers, podcasters, musicians, and pleasure listening alike. They serve up audio as it’s meant to be heard.

Clean, clear audio from any source

Rode designed the NTH-100 headphones for superior audio clarity. To accomplish that goal, Rode loaded these headphones with custom-matched drivers for linear frequency response. When we got the NTH-100s into our hands, our Product Research team decided to put that engineering to the test. We listened to songs from every genre and can confirm that these headphones have the bass response needed for today’s hip-hop and R&B, the high-end “air” for classical and acoustic pieces, and the midrange clarity to handle the densest modern pop arrangements. Plus, Rode’s exhaustive design process imbued these headphones with spectacular stereo imaging that trumps just about anything else in its price range.

Exceptional comfort

Great sound quality isn’t everything to look for in a pair of headphones. Rode knows this, which is why NTH-100 headphones come with luxurious padding. The earcups and headband are made from Alcantara-covered memory foam with CoolTech gel to keep you comfortable during long listening sessions. Sweetwater music listeners know that glasses and headphones don’t always get along, but the NTH-100’s ear pads have turned that into a thing of the past. The memory foam conforms to people of all shapes, making long listening sessions easy. Best of all, the headband and earcups are all user replaceable, significantly extending the life of your headphones.

Built to handle life’s curveballs

The NTH-100 is ready to make a lifetime of memories with you. One of its most impressive features is the FitLok Locking headband for repeatable comfort. Once you find the most comfortable setup, use FitLok to lock the earcups in place when you’re not using them. The headband is made from springy stainless steel for durability that outstrips the competition. The NTH-100s also feature a detachable cable and unique cable locking mechanism that prevents accidental disconnections. Don’t worry about damage from rough handling; Rode thought ahead when they designed the cable. The cable’s locking connection is softer than the connector in the headphones. That way, if there’s a rough disconnection, the cable will deform — not the headphones. Just pick up a new cable and get listening again!

Great All-Around Performer

I edit podcasts and commercial video during the day and listen to copious amounts of music in the evening. These headphones work so very well for both of these tasks. While editing, these have enough top-end to allow me to pin-point hums and hisses in recordings. They do this much better than my previous editing headphones, the Audio Technica ATH-M50x. Not to mention, the NTH-100's have so much more comfort on offer than the Audio Technicas. It's incredible what Røde has been able to accomplish in terms of comfort and long-term wearability. The cooling ear pads make such a massive difference during long editing sessions. The locking headband ensures I don't screw myself over by accidentally adjusting my headphones when taking them off or putting them on. And finally, these headphones rock. They rock hard. For just straight up music listening, they are so much fun. Alt-rock is what these headphones crave. Silversun Pickups, Foals, Japanese Breakfast, Twenty One Pilots, etc all sound effing phenomenal through these headphones. They fall short with some "heavier" hip-hop and EDM tracks, but that's the only sound quality short-coming I can speak of. Classical recordings sound excellent. Country/Americana has lots of air and detail. But dang, alt-rock just shines and begs you to re-listen to tracks and crank them up. These headphones are completely worth the $ MSRP.

RØDE NTH-100 Best Choice

Just received my new RØDE NTH-100 headphones and could not be more pleased.

I was blessed (cursed) with a large head. For those familiar with hat sizes – I need a size 8 minimum. The only organization that ever put a hat on my head that fit was the United States Army!

I've also owned a lot of different headphone sets. Almost all had two problems (for me) in common: they don't extend far enough to comfortably cover my ears and the shape of the ear cups was awkward. RØDE addressed both – and more.

The extensions are more than adequate and the molded ear cups are terrific. But RØDE did not stop there. You can tell immediately upon unboxing that these are a substantial product. They are perhaps the heaviest headphones I've ever worn. But they are completely comfortable to wear all day long. The workmanship and materials are first rate all the way – something I always expect from RØDE.

I enthusiastically recommend the RØDE NTH-100 over the ear headphones for the quality, performance, and price. This is a purchase you will never regret.

Love these headphones!

I've been a long time user of Sony headphones (MDR7506) so I was a bit reluctant to try something new. I'm a podcast producer so high fidelity of the vocal range matters most to me. But now that I've used these for nearly a year, I can say these are better. From an amazing fit to great sound, these are the headphones to use.

Very comfortable and nice looking. Recommended for any application
Rated 5/5

Rode NTH-100 great sound and comfort

I bought these to use for mixing and just listening to music and such. They are sooo comfortable. After a few minutes I forget that I have them on. They sound just like my mixing monitors, so it is just as easy to mix with these headphones as my monitors if I stay up late mixing. I highly recommend these cans to anyone looking for an affordable, but great sounding set of headphones.
