Extended Comfort: Lightweight Design


The headband on the lightweight ATH-R30x (210 g) adjusts to provide a custom fit that’s made even more comfortable by the replaceable velour earpads and cooling, open-back earcups, allowing you to stay fully immersed in the audio even through the longest listening sessions.







Open-Back vs. Closed-Back: What's the Difference?





Open-Back: Ideal for mixing, mastering, and creating in a studio or other private space, open-back headphones provide a natural, spacious sound akin to that produced by a speaker monitor system.




Closed-Back: Closed-back headphones, on the other hand, isolate audio from outside noise, making them great for musicians recording in a studio or anyone listening in public or noisy environments.
