Variations

A great-value bundle featuring the Audio-Technica ATH-R50x open-back monitor headphones and the AT-HC2C/1.2 2.5mm-to-USB Type-C cable!

・The Audio-Technica ATH-R50x is an open-back monitor headphone that delivers all-around driver performance, making it an excellent choice for audio production. Inheriting the sonic character of the flagship ATH-R70x model, these reference headphones are designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional environments.

■ Open-back headphones that push the limits of the design by controlling airflow, allowing the diaphragm’s movement alone to reproduce the original sound.
・Closed-back and semi-open headphones typically shape their sound by utilizing resonance within the housing to enhance low-frequency output. This product embodies the concept of "true open-air" (fully open-back) audio. Rather than using the housing to artificially boost low frequencies, it eliminates resonance, allowing the sound produced by the drivers to reach the ears directly. Through a unique driver design that manages airflow—facilitated by open front and rear housing sections—it delivers a pure, realistic soundstage.

■ Versatile driver performance for professional audio production
・The ATH-R50x is a reference-grade headphone designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional environments, inheriting the sonic philosophy of the flagship ATH-R70x. In open-back headphones, the sound is heavily influenced by driver performance, as the movement of the diaphragm is translated directly into sound. This results in an exceptionally pure open-back listening experience with minimal distortion.

■ Equipped with large-diameter 45mm drivers featuring high-flux magnets
・These drivers are purpose-built for an open-back design, drawing on 50 years of headphone development and proprietary acoustic circuitry. They accurately reproduce the entire frequency spectrum—a legacy of the ATH-R70x—delivering a distortion-free, reference-quality sound ideal for professional use.

■ Covers a frequency range of 5Hz to 40,000Hz
・Modern studio and stage environments involve a wide variety of output formats, requiring engineers to have reliable reference headphones that perform consistently across any workspace. The R-series covers the full frequency range demanded by professional field applications.

■ Features a honeycomb-patterned aluminum mesh
・This design promotes a more natural sound with an expansive, spacious quality.

■ Acoustic engineering tailored for demanding audio production
・ATH-R50x These headphones allow for easy monitoring in any environment—from professional studios to home recording setups—delivering precise sound for engineers and audio professionals.
・The open-back design ensures detail and accuracy, reproducing sound with realistic timbre and dynamic nuances for a truly immersive, natural monitoring experience. Unrestricted airflow combined with the suppression of unwanted internal resonance enables an exceptionally fast transient response, providing the clarity and separation essential for handling complex modern mixes.

■ A tool for precise and reliable reference
・Delivers a clear, expansive open-back sound, allowing engineers to accurately gauge how their tracks will be heard by the intended audience.
・An all-around production tool—ideal for mixing, mastering, or general creation—that provides a precise and reliable reference, whether in a studio or a home recording environment.

■ Compatible with mobile devices and DAPs (Digital Audio Players)
・Enables accurate monitoring even when used with devices outside of professional-grade equipment, such as smartphones or portable audio players.

■ Lightweight design for comfortable, all-day use
・Weighing only 207 grams*, they are so light you might even forget you’re wearing them, allowing for a relaxed monitoring experience. (*Excluding cable)
・ATH-R50x The lightweight design embodies a minimalist aesthetic, with every component carefully selected and assembled.

■ Newly designed headband and head pad for comfort during long work sessions
・Featuring a robust metal headband structure and a redesigned head pad, this model combines simplicity with durability, ensuring a comfortable experience even during extended periods of use.

■ High maintainability for long-term use
・Designed with the needs of engineers and creators—who wear headphones daily—in mind, this model offers excellent maintainability. Components like the cable can be replaced periodically, allowing you to use the same pair of headphones for a long time.

■ Detachable cable with a bayonet-style locking mechanism; includes a 6.3mm (1/4") adapter and a carrying pouch
・The headphones come with a detachable 3.0m cable, featuring a 2.5mm twist-lock connector on the headphone end and a 3.5mm gold-plated stereo mini-plug on the device end.

The Audio-Technica AT-HC2C/1.2 enables the use of M-series and R-series headphones with USB Type-C devices. Simply connect it to your digital device to enjoy high-quality sound with ease. Headphone cable with a Type-C connection.

■ Cable design prioritizing sound quality, featuring high-purity 6N OCC exclusively:
This cable is designed with a primary focus on sound quality, utilizing only high-purity 6N OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) copper. By minimizing crystal boundaries within the conductor, the cable reduces signal loss and coloration, ensuring that the nuances of the original audio source are delivered faithfully to your headphones. It is an ideal choice for listening environments where the reproduction of delicate, subtle details is paramount.
*6N OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast copper): This refers to copper with a purity of 99.9999% (6N), processed via the OCC method to form a single-crystal structure. The OCC process allows copper to be cast as essentially one large crystal, resulting in an extremely low number of crystal boundaries, which significantly minimizes signal loss and distortion during transmission.
