## Overview

The ATH-R50x are professional open-back reference headphones featuring 45mm large-aperture drivers with rare earth magnets and copper-clad aluminum voice coils. Their fully open-back design allows unrestricted airflow, eliminating internal resonance for a natural, spacious soundstage with extended bass and accurate midrange.

## Description

The ATH-R50x professional open-back reference headphones are designed to provide a natural listening experience with an expansive soundstage that’s ideal for all manner of critical-listening tasks. The headphones’ drivers are modelled after those used in the original ATH[1]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[1]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: Superb - Makes me wonder why I spent so much on Grado woodies and SE models! Simply wonderful. Beautiful looking as well - very AT aesthetic. Most comfortable headphones I have to boot. If I have to give a con the 5hz upper mids lift is a little overdone as reviews point out. Classical is my go to genre. So, whenever a harpsichord as an example comes into the mix it's at the fore and a very smidgen too 'sparkly'. I'm picking her, for the price it's pretty faultless, and some may actually love the con I've described. I'd advise a good Geekria hard case as an added investment.
Review: The ATH-R50X have very good sound quality for gaming! - If the Beyerdynamic TYGR 300R AKG K712 and the Orchestra lite had a baby then this is what it would sound like, i use the R50X with the Switch 2 and a Soundblaster G8 on the High Gain setting, surprisingly good sound for the money!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The ATH-R50X have very good sound quality for gaming!
*by M***S on 27 December 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐ Good sound, but disappointing comfort and questionable durability and build quality
*by A***8 on 1 November 2025*

Sound quality is great. They have strong bass for an open-back, but a bright sound signature ,very similar to the Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro/Premium. However, people who are sensitive to treble might find them too sharp and harsh (just like the DT990s). What really surprised me was the disappointing comfort. The headband design with the two separated large pads presses directly on my scalp and just isn’t comfortable. Maybe I’ll get used to it after a few days, but after about an hour of listening, it’s not looking great. They really should have gone with a suspension-style headband like the R70xa instead of this odd two-pad design (which looks cheap and ugly to me). As for the build quality, the thin, exposed cables don’t inspire confidence , they look like they won’t last long and could easily get torn. Overall, the build feels budget and cheap.
