Røde enter headphone market with NTH-100

To most of us, Røde are well known for their microphones (and that annoying ‘ø’ if you’re writing about it on deadline) and a few quite good podcast products. But now they are entering what you might call a ‘busy’ producer headphone market with the NTH-100, a set of cans that have apparently been in the planning stages for decades and have been designed from the ground up to be exactly what you need for your music production. Of course they have! And they do seem to tick all the right boxes with an “accurate frequency response and low distortion” plus comfort levels designed for “the most arduous sessions”. The headphones feature 40mm drivers, and “luxurious Alcantara on the earpads and headband; an ultra-high-quality material that is typically utilised in sports cars and high-end fashion.” Røde’s CEO Damien Wilson is in no doubt that these are the “best headphones in their class”, claiming they’re great for beginners and pros alike. And the price of just £149 is certainly cheap if the claims are true. We’ll have a set under the spotlight next issue…
