RH-5

Purchased these for my daughter’s electric piano, she’s really pleased with them. The sound quality is great and they’re also not too heavy. In fact she said they are very comfortable to wear..

Amazing headphones for the price. Superb build quality as you would expect. Lightweight when worn on your head, the cable is long and flexible (but the type that is rubberised so doesn’t tangle), and the bass sound is superb. I’m very happy with these headphones. One this is poor, is Amazon. They shipped this item in a paper bag. So when I received the item, obviously the packaging box was beaten up. Good job they weren’t a gift for someone. Amazon - sort your packaging out, please!!!

I'm writing this as a previous owner of many different headphones in the past, including brands like BeyerDynamic, AKG, V-Moda, Sennheiser, Sony, and smaller brands like OneOdio, Tribit, and others I can't even remember. Prices of the above have ranged from as low as £20 to as much as £200, so I think I have a fair grasp of how a decent pair of consumer headphones should sound and feel. Although these are aimed mostly at Roland instrument users, I bought these for music and TV/Film use. Sound quality is excellent for the price, certainly better than headphones double the price, or even more. Bass is nice and tight, not boomy and doesn't interfere with the higher frequencies. Mids and highs are nice and clear, not tinny at all and not drowned out by the bass (as you would expect from neutral headphones). Listening to music is a pleasure, from sub bass all the way up to the top frequencies everything is clear, vocals are great which is where some headphones fall flat, especially those that are tuned for more bass. Listening to TV and films is just as goo., I just returned a pair of Sennheiser HD 599's as listening to speech was horrible with them, I found myself having to rely on subtitles in some instances as I couldn't hear what people were saying properly. No such problem with the Roland RH-5's. Speech is crystal clear, while things like explosions still gave a nice boom. I'd rate the sound quality of the Rolands better all round than the £100 HD 599's, which was a nice surprise. As 'neutral' headphones go, these sound very good. Soundstage is decent for a cheap pair of closed back headphones too, though not quite up there with a nice pair of open back headphones (but again, these were better than the Sennheiser HD 599's in that respect too). Another nice thing I found was if you tap the cable the sound doesn't travel up the cable, resulting in it felling like you're tapping on the headphones themselves. That's a problem I have found with many budget mostly plastic headphones. I am glad to say these don't suffer with problem. They are also very light, which is usually good for long sessions wearing them... BUT, here's the downside - So, being so light you would expect extented use to be fine, however they are let down when it comes to comfort. Firstly, they are advertised as 'over-ear' headphones, however they are not. They are too small to be over ear, and too big to be on ear (I have normal sized ears, maybe even slightly smaller than average). They sit awkwardly on my ears due to the strange size of the ear pads so just don't feel right. This also means there isn't a good seal between the headphones and my head. There are a few reviews saying they fit around the ears fine, I can only assume most of these people have exceptionally small ears! Secondly, the thin faux leather material on the ear pads is irritating, not comfortable at all (possibly because the way it is creased/pleated. This is not helped by the rather thin foam padding. I have ordered a pair of replacement ear pads that have more foam and nicer material, hopefully this will resolve some of the comfort issues and create a better seal between the headphones and my head. Build quality is what you would expect for pair of cheap but good sounding headphones. Most of the cost of these has gone into sound quality. They are plasticky, but time will tell if they break easily (plenty of reviews have said they break easily, but I don't know how well they have been treated). Really this should have been a 3 star review because of the strange size ear pads, uncomfortable material on them, and the cheap plasticky feel, but the fact they sound so good convinced me to give them 4 stars.

Perfect. Use them for guitar practice. Plugged straight into my amp. I can practice without disturbing my wife. They are comfortable and I could wear them for hours if I wished. Fantastic monitor headphones.

I've bought eleven pairs of headphones. Ranging from a fiver to a couple of hundred, from many varied manufacturers. No, I was not on a wild goose chase. I wanted to try them all so I could make an educated assessment. If you don't try them, you just do not know. So the only way to find out is to try them properly. The marketing propaganda is no help whatsoever. For instance Roland state they are Over-Ear. No they're not. They're On-Ear. Maybe Japanese ears are a different size to European ears. The bottom line... These are the ones I use. They're better than many costing twice the price. They're lightweight, comfortable, with really good sound reproduction. Good highs and lows, they work well.

These were too small for my ears. They were very painful to wear. It's a shame because they sounded absolutely incredible and for the money. I think it's very impressive but they aren't for me. I am a a regular sized man if that gives you any hints as to whether they fit you or not!

These are really good basic headphones. I play keyboards and I bought them for practice at home with a Korg synth, the sound quality is excellent and they feel very comfy to wear, I think for the price they're probably as good as you can get without spending a lot of money on higher end headphones.

Sound seems ok, quite bright with my Roland td17kvx. Good cable length. Cable goes to left ear. Seems to be minimal passive noise isolation but it's fine for me. One potential issue would be the fit. I'm a 180cm tall adult male with a bit of a fat head and they do not feel snug.

Headphones are great sound quality is amazing.

I previously used the RH-AK7 as my monitor head phones with my Roland drums until it broke recently. I replaced it with the RH-200S but unfortunately the sound is very different. Not sure the reason. Best to replace with AK7.

I find these good for use with my digital piano. Reasonably comfortable, but only for short periods of about 30 minutes. Sound quality is good for this price point.

モニターヘッドホンですから「余計な音作りは無い」です。 「重低音」「迫力」を求めるなら避けた方がいいかもしれません。 「全くクセの無い音」なので、楽器録画時の基本的な音作りを邪魔しません！ 「色気のある音」ではないので、必要ならEQを使えば問題無く幅広い音を楽しめます。 「楽器の音作り用」として、価格を考えると最高のヘッドホンだと思います。

Rolandの電子ピアノに接続して使用してますが、音質はなかなかいいです。 それなりに値段はしますが、いい買い物だったと思います。 数年使ってますが、特に不具合はないです。
