Roland RH-200S Studio Headphones

Roland RH-200S Silver — Closed-Back Studio Monitoring Headphones

The Roland RH-200S Silver is a closed-back circumaural monitor headphone designed for studio tracking, mixing, and electronic-instrument practice. Built around 40 mm dynamic drivers with neodymium magnets and copper-clad aluminium wire (CCAW) voice coils, this model delivers the clear, balanced response producers and session players need to judge stereo imaging and low-end decisions. This model is the right choice for home-studio creators, drummers, and keyboardists who want an honest reference listen without breaking the bank.

What Sets the RH-200S Apart in Its Class

Two design choices make the RH-200S stand out from typical entry-level closed-back headphones. Using CCAW voice coils in the 40 mm drivers—a construction more commonly found in higher-tier monitors—keeps the moving mass light for tighter transients and cleaner bass. In addition, the earpieces rotate through 180°, letting you flip one cup off the ear for quick talkback or single-ear monitoring without removing the headphones.

Driver System — Clear, Accurate Response

Driver assembly is the heart of any monitoring headphone, and Roland has spec'd this one for accuracy rather than boosted bass. A 40 mm dynamic driver paired with neodymium magnets and a CCAW voice coil gives the RH-200S a neutral, fatigue-free character that translates well from mix decisions to late-night practice sessions.

• Driver Size: 40 mm — large enough for full-range monitoring without harsh treble emphasis
• Magnet Type: Neodymium — strong magnetic motor for controlled cone movement
• Because the CCAW (copper-clad aluminium wire) voice coil is lightweight, you get fast, accurate transients for critical listening.
• Frequency Range: 10 Hz – 20 kHz — covers the full audible spectrum for mix-checking

Comfort & Isolation — Built for Long Sessions

Closed-back headphones earn their keep by blocking room bleed during tracking and keeping the mix focused during long editing sessions. The RH-200S uses a circumaural (over-ear) closed-back cup that seals around the ear, while the lightweight 226.8 g frame and padded headband keep pressure low across multi-hour sessions.

• Construction: Closed-back, circumaural — passive isolation for tracking and focused listening
• Earpiece Swivel: 180° rotating cups — single-ear monitoring and easy talkback
• Weight: 226.8 g — light enough for all-night sessions without neck fatigue
• Noise cancelling is not present; instead, the design relies entirely on passive cup isolation.

Connectivity & Cable — Studio-Ready Out of the Box

A monitoring headphone is only as useful as its cable and connector. The RH-200S ships with a non-detachable 3.4 m straight cable terminated in a gold-plated 3.5 mm stereo plug, plus a screw-on 1/4" TRS adapter for direct connection to audio interfaces, mixers, and instrument modules.

• Cable Length: 3.4 m straight cable — long enough to reach across a studio or drum kit
• The gold-plated 3.5 mm TRS connector ensures corrosion resistance and clean signal transfer in studio environments.
• Included Adapter: 1/4" TRS — plug straight into pro audio gear without extra cables
• Package Contents: Headphones, 1/4" adapter — ready to use the moment you open the box

Who the Roland RH-200S Silver Is For

The RH-200S Silver fits naturally into a home studio, rehearsal room, or bedroom producer setup. It is the right choice for drummers using Roland V-Drums modules who need closed-back isolation from stick and pad noise, for producers and engineers wanting an honest secondary reference while mixing, and for keyboardists and students who want a comfortable, durable headphone for daily practice. Because there is no built-in microphone or active noise cancellation, it stays focused on pure monitoring — exactly what session players and content creators need when accuracy matters more than features.

Roland's Studio Headphone Heritage

Roland has been building electronic instruments and studio gear for decades, and the RH series headphones come out of the same engineering culture that powers the company's V-Drums and digital workstations. The RH-200S shares its core driver platform with the wider RH family — the same 40 mm neodymium drivers and CCAW voice coils that have made the line a familiar sight in project studios and rehearsal spaces worldwide. For players already invested in the Roland ecosystem, the RH-200S slots in as a natural, dependable monitoring companion.
