Rode NTH-100 Studio Headphones

Rode NTH-100 — Studio Headphones Built for Accurate Monitoring

The Rode NTH-100 is a closed-back professional over-ear headphone engineered for critical listening, spanning music production and mixing to podcasting and on-location recording. Custom-matched 40mm dynamic drivers with a four-layer aluminium voice coil and triple-layer Mylar diaphragm produce a flat frequency response and extremely low distortion, faithfully translating what you hear to speakers and consumer devices.

Memory foam and Alcantara cushions on an ergonomic circumaural earcup help isolate the listener from ambient noise.

What Sets the NTH-100 Apart

To keep ears cooler during multi-hour sessions, the CoolTech gel layer absorbs and dissipates heat. With the FitLok locking system, users can keep the earcup position fixed for a consistent fit. Cable routing is flexible, thanks to dual TRRS cable attachments on both earcups.

Key Specifications for the Working Producer

The acoustic design focuses on accuracy over boosted bass or treble.

• Transducer Size: 40 mm — custom-matched neodymium drivers, paired during production for consistent left/right performance
• Frequency Response: 5 Hz – 35 kHz — extends well beyond the audible range, capturing deep sub-bass and high-frequency detail without coloration
• Impedance: 32 Ω — low enough to drive directly from laptops, phones, and audio interfaces without a dedicated headphone amplifier
• Construction: Closed-back, circumaural — provides 20 dB of passive noise attenuation with no active noise cancellation required
• Wearing these headphones for extended sessions is comfortable, thanks to the lightweight 344 g build that avoids neck strain.

Who Should Pick the Rode NTH-100

This model is ideal for producers, podcasters, and content creators seeking a flat monitoring tool that translates reliably to other playback systems. Musicians tracking vocals at home benefit from closed-back isolation during long takes.

Filmmakers working on noisy sets appreciate the 20 dB passive attenuation, and streamers can add the optional NTH-Mic for broadcast-grade headset use.

Rode: Australian Audio Engineering Since 1990

Founded in Sydney, Australia in 1990, Rode built its reputation on broadcast and studio microphones, with the original NT1 large-diaphragm condenser becoming an enduring industry classic. The NTH-100 marks the brand's first entry into professional headphones.

Every pair is manufactured at Rode's own facilities in Sydney and is backed by a lifetime warranty.
