Weighing only 207g, they feature a fully open-back design that delivers a wide, natural soundstage with powerful bass and clear midrange.

The headphones’ drivers are modelled after those used in the original ATH-R70x, now re-engineered to deliver bass that’s surprisingly powerful for an open-back model, plus an accurate upper midrange to ensure the clarity of vocals and lead instruments without sacrificing overall balance. Key to delivering this natural, full-spectrum sound is the headphones’ pure open-back design, which doesn’t embellish the sound coming from the drivers. The ATH-R50x headphones are engineered to deliver dynamic, detailed audio, with powerful sub-bass and a realistic soundstage, directly from the drivers without any additional acoustic tuning. The fully open earcups also provide greater comfort than closed-back models – comfort enhanced by the newly designed headband and durable, lightweight construction. Perfect for mixing, mastering, or creating, the ATH-R50x provides precise, reliable reference across stereo, surround, and immersive formats, making it a versatile choice for any professional or home studio. Review: Bom, mas pelo preço poderia ser bem melhor - Olha realmente bem definido e claro os sons. Porém ainda achei um pouquinho baixo pra utilizar com o meu piano fp30x. Como ele é aberto, consegue ouvir bastante som externo, e por não conseguir ser tão alto acaba deixando insaciado Um amp/dac mediano já resolveria o problema, porém pelo preço acho que não valeria a pena. Além disso muito confortável. Se ele estivesse na faixa dos R$800 até R$900 acho que valeria o produto Review: Best Performance for the Money ## Features - Professional open-back reference headphones with extended bass and accurate midrange provide exceptional all-around performance for demanding audio production - Fully open-back design allows unrestricted airflow to eliminate internal resonance and provide extremely quick transient response - Wide, realistic soundstage provides an immersive listening experience - Durable, lightweight (207g) construction and a new headband design ensure long-lasting comfort - Comes with two detachable cables (9.8' (3m) and 3.9' (1.2m)) each with a 2.5mm twist-lock connector at the left earcup and a 3.5 (1/8") gold-plated stereo mini-plug ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0DSMG4K6K | | Box Contents | Cable | | Brand | Audio-Technica | | Brand Name | Audio-Technica | | Colour | Black | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 293 Reviews | | Ear Placement | Over Ear | | External Testing Certification | Não aplicável | | Form Factor | Over Ear | | Headphone Form Factor | Over Ear | | Headphones Ear Placement | Over Ear | | Item Weight Unit of Measure | 209 g | | Manufacturer | Audio-Technica | | Model Name | ATH-R50X Open-Back Headphones | | Model Number | ATH-R50x | | Network Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Number of Items | 1 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Audio-Technica - **Colour:** Black - **Ear Placement:** Over Ear - **Form Factor:** Over Ear - **Model Name:** ATH-R50X Open-Back Headphones ## Images ![Audio-Technica ATH-R50x Professional Over-Ear Open-Back Reference Headphones - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OP35Wm8OL.jpg) ![Audio-Technica ATH-R50x Professional Over-Ear Open-Back Reference Headphones - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7116v9TKx-L.jpg) ![Audio-Technica ATH-R50x Professional Over-Ear Open-Back Reference Headphones - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UY0YHPQML.jpg) ![Audio-Technica ATH-R50x Professional Over-Ear Open-Back Reference Headphones - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+3u3pWkpL.jpg) ![Audio-Technica ATH-R50x Professional Over-Ear Open-Back Reference Headphones - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Qh1W2o43L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ Bom, mas pelo preço poderia ser bem melhor *by M***S on 21 November 2025* Olha realmente bem definido e claro os sons.
