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. ## 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 (207 g) construction and a new headband design ensure long-lasting comfort - Comes with two detachable cables (3.0 m (9.8') and 1.2 m (3.9')) each with a 2.5 mm twist-lock connector at the left earcup and a 3.5 (1/8"") gold-plated stereo mini-plug, as well as a 6.3 mm (1/4"") adapter and a carrying pouch ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Additional Features | Open-Back Design with Detachable Cables | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Antenna Location | Audio Monitoring, Recording, Studio | | Asin | B0DSMG4K6K | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Best Sellers Rank | #15,204 in Electronics (See Top 100 in Electronics) #240 in Open-Ear Headphones | | Brand Name | Audio-Technica | | Built In Media | Cable | | Cable Features | Detachable | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Music Production Equipment, Laptops, Desktops, Gaming Consoles, Tablets, Telephones, Smart Speakers, Televisions, Car Audio Systems | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Control Method | Remote | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (429) 4.6 out of 5 stars | | Earpiece Shape | Over-Ear | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | External Testing Certification | Não aplicável | | Frequency Range | 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz | | Headphone Folding Features | Over Ear | | Headphone Jack | 3.5 mm Jack | | Headphones Ear Placement | Over Ear | | Impedance | 50 ohm | | Item Weight | 7.36 ounces | | Manufacturer | Audio-Technica | | Model Name | ATH-R50X Open-Back Headphones | | Model Number | ATH-R50x | | Noise Control | None | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Sensitivity | 93.3 db | | Specific Uses For Product | Multi-Purpose | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 years | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Audio-Technica - **Color:** Black - **Ear Placement:** Over Ear - **Form Factor:** Over Ear - **Impedance:** 50 ohm ## Images ![Audio-Technica ATH-R50X Open-Back Headphones - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JaXO9jRJL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You cannot ever go wrong with Audio Technica *by on Reviewed in the United States July 3, 2026* I've owned both the M30x and M40x. Both excellent headphones. I decided to try an open back model, and went with the R50x.Everything I liked about the last 2 headphones, but better. Everything is just better. The ONLY downside I can pinpoint is due to them being open back, sound bleeds in and out much easier, but if you're wearing open back studio reference headphones, I would expect you to be in a listening environment that compliments that. Don't buy open back headphones and expect active noise cancellation on a wireless pair of closed back headphones (what is with some of the people leaving these negative reviews who buy first, and get angry later when they realized after not reading anything about the product, and why does Amazon allow those reviews to stay up? People like Desiree shouldn't be allowed to buy anything for themselves. If you want a laugh, check out their review and their other reviews on their profile lmao)I digress, if you want the classic, clean referential sound stage that Audio Technica is known for, but you don't wanna jump to the R70xa just yet, *this* is for you. I'd argue the overwhelming majority of people wouldn't ever need to purchase the R70xas since these are incredible for the price. The comfort, build quality, and soundstage are fantastic for the price point.The really nice thing about AT headphones is you don't even really *need* a DAC, amplifier, or even equalizer to enjoy them, but if you have a DAC that you EQ through, then absolutely use it. I know some people complain about the bass on these being a bit quiet, but that has always been the case in my experience with reference headphones, including Sennheiser, but I think everyone should give EQing a good pair of headphones a shot. You can slightly bump up the bass in the software of your choosing on both mobile and PC, and I do recommend that if you feel the bass is too low.Whenever people who have never had a "quality" pair of headphones ask me for recommendations, I always immediately answer with Audio Technica, and everyone who has ever followed my advice has been pleased. If you're reading this, I think between the two giants of reference soundstages AT is superior, but you can't go wrong with either of them, especially these. Do yourself a favor and just buy it, let your ears get used to the sound and once they do, its hard not to want to use Audio Technica headphones whenever you can. Fantastic headphones. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the better purchases I've made this year *by on Reviewed in the United States December 26, 2025* I moved in May from an apartment that had nobody above or below me to a new place with neighbors above and below. I sometimes like to crank the music up while writing and I've been feeling self-conscious that I might be bothering someone so I started looking into open back headphones. I've never used open backs before but I read a bunch of good information. I'm really glad I went with these Audio Technica's as I currently use ATH-M50x's and love them! However with closed back headphones I can't do extended sessions as both the closed-in feeling and the heat build up can get uncomfortable. There are not a lot of open backs that have good bass response and these showed a heavier bass response than most others. With open backs you'll never get the same response as with closed backs but these come really close. If you already use m50x's you'll transition right over with no issue, they have a very very similar sound profile. I put a FabFilter EQ on the master bus with a bass boost to give it the little bit of missing bass oomph and now they sound perfect!With these they are so light and open that you can literally forget you're wearing them. I don't get warm at all wearing them, I don't feel boxed in like with closed backs, and I can crank them without bothering any of my neighbors while I write music. Another aspect of open backs that I read about was a wider soundstage and oh boy they sure do have an amazing stereo soundstage. They sound wider for sure than my closed backs. Basically to sum it up it's like having studio monitors right on your ears that you can crank without disturbing your neighbors/family members/etc. They obviously do not replace closed back headphones as you need those for tracking vocals and such so there's no bleed into the microphone and for mixing reference I think closed backs are still more essential. But for what I needed them for they are doing the job so well I couldn't be happier. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Performance for the Money *by on Reviewed in the United States February 5, 2026* I’ve been using the Audio-Technica ATH‑M50x for a while now, and they’ve impressed me so much that I felt compelled to write a review.These headphones strike a really nice balance between fun and accurate. The bass is tight and punchy without being boomy, the mids are clear so vocals and instruments sound natural, and the highs have good detail without getting harsh or piercing. I can switch from music to podcasts to movies and never feel like I’m missing anything.Comfort is excellent for longer sessions. The ear pads seal well without clamping too hard, and the headband feels solid but not heavy. I can wear them for a couple of hours at a time without hot spots or fatigue. The build quality is also reassuring: lots of plastic, but it feels sturdy, and the folding design makes them easy to toss in a bag.One thing I really like is the removable cable system. Being able to swap cables (or replace one if it ever fails) is a big plus, and the included cables cover most situations—at home, on the go, or at a desk.Overall, these are easy to recommend if you want a step up from basic consumer headphones. They’re reliable, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable to listen to, whether you’re casually listening or doing more focused work like light mixing or content creation. ## Frequently Bought Together - Audio-Technica ATH-R50x Professional Over-Ear Open-Back Reference Headphones - Antlion Audio ModMic USB 2 Attachable Noise-Cancelling Microphone with Mute Switch Compatible with PC, PlayStation, and More. - Audio-Technica ATH-R70xa Professional Over-Ear Open-Back Reference Headphones --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/698252715-audio-technica-ath-r50x-open-back-headphones](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/698252715-audio-technica-ath-r50x-open-back-headphones) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-24*
