Sadly I have to report that I have gone through three pairs of these wonderful sounding cans but each one has broken after 2-3 weeks at the locking connectors. After a week or so, a hairline crack develops before the whole connector shatters. Many other users are saying the same thing so it appears to be a QC issue. Sad, but I have to go for the warranty and try to sell them 😭

THANK YOU ! The last time I purchased headphones (7 février 2017) I discovered your review of the ATH M40X. I purchased them and I was very happy... today, the plastic that holds the driver to the swivel broke... I looked to purchase the piece that is broken and could not find it easily... So I returned to your channel to see if you have new headphone advice... I ordered them and I am waiting for them to be delivered. Happy Holidays !

@mavy28 2 года назад

So I bought these upon watching this video which I never do. I’m very much paralysis by analysis and nerve pull the trigger. Decided to give it a shot and no regrets. Wow these are well built headphones and memory foam and alcantara for 150$! They feel solid and look great. Bass is moderate and lovely neutral but still fun sound. I’m sure break in time will open these up a bit after a few hours of run time. But out of the box enjoying it a lot so far. For the price they are everything I wanted and expected out of headphones. Ps I’m very much a studio monitor person so I may be biased to a neutral sound. I own iloud micro and Kali audio in5 but I also have tin T2.

@Narinjas Год назад

Be careful, they have a high failure rate on the size locking mechanism part, because it is plastic that holds metal, Check and see that is a 70% failure part, one even broke in a few weeks, an other in 2 months an other in 6 months,so eventually that is the braking point on all the NTH-100 headphones, I wish Rode will recall them and release NTH-101 , replace the problem part with either full metal , or metal with over-mold plastic, double thickness head pad and easier to replace headphone pads and sell it for 170€ - 200€ , because they are worth at least that much.

@Mackin7777 Год назад

Rode did the same thing with mics. I bought the NT1 condenser when it came out for $99, and it won almost every award that year. It still holds a record of being one of the quietest microphones ( self noise) ever made. I’ve used Rode mics ever since on stage and studio. I don’t know any condenser mic that sounds this good on female vocals in this price range. This headphone doesn’t surprise me at all. Sonny T MoonDancer Studios

I've used DT770 Pro for perhaps 12 years, went through 2-3 pairs for work. Then I saw this, and I've fell in love right away. So accurate, at least seems like. Went from C-2 to C-8 on Korg Wavestation, random cool pad, and the detailing was just perfect. I think I'll have to buy one for my sound card, and put DT770 as a backup, at least that's how I feel right now. Perhaps things will change, but I don't know at the moment. I'm also shocked... As per the price, Rode pricing always was based on quality at lower prices. This perhaps that's why they've made those very affordable.

@SKY11211213 2 года назад

So I use the NDH20 since the review of NDH20 or shortly after. I love these for sounding more on the refined side vs 58x which sounded to boring but immersive. M1ST gave me the 2nd increase in tinnitus from the fake soundstage hiding the volume on the good Brainwaves pads. Some sounds in the M1ST are addictive but 900st might have been better by far (historical headphone). Now I really want the RODE. I already love professionally boring headphones to hear every tint in songs. My fun in music and audio comes from the small differences and nuances....

@ClaireMcHardy 2 года назад

You wont hear that with the Rodes. They are veiled and I am returning mine. There is not much critical about them. They are an above average sounding $150 dollar headphone that is over hyped to the max. With poor build quality and manufacturer roll the dice variance in models and drivers.

@luuhax 2 года назад

@@SP1CEANDW0LF They're good! Like he said the headband could be a bit thicker, but no discomfort yet. Had more pressure on the top of my head with the dt770s even though the NTH-100s weigh significantly more. The gel pads are great, i never get hot ! Sound comparatively is pretty bright. Found myself having to lower my overall volume for a time to get used to it, or for it to burn in, not really sure. Now i like them better when i compare side by side. Detail is better and the clarity is awesome. Only loses to the dts in bass, but the NTHs bass is still fine. You can EQ up the bass if youd like because it has the capability. Just not tuned for it. Overall great purchase!

Zeos would love to know what you think as you say these are worth $300-500 maybe. So the Focal Elegia are now often found within this price bracket and wondered how they compare or differ?

@mugenoesis 2 года назад

I just bought these, because I loved the look of them, going to balance them as soon as I try and like them, but was waiting for at least one of my usual trusted reviewers. Last time I blind bought a pair of headphones because zeos recommended it was the emotiva airmotiv and I still love the hell out of them. Edit: super simple to balance them, if anyone is interested. Remove the right pad, get a flat screw driver or similar to pry up from the bottom of the centre raised part, the driver will come out. There's a cable that snaps on to the pcb running to the other side. Disconnect it, use the tabs along the side to keep the wire from rattling. Now you can use a cable with 2* 3.5mm jacks cus you have separated the ground. In my case the wiring wasn't compatible. So on the same PCB you removed the cable from. I desoldered the wire from R and tacked it to L. Works perfectly now

@ClaireMcHardy 2 года назад

What I am about to say might upset you. Im seeing alot of people, feeling a bit let down by your review, going and posting on other reviewers comments sections. These seem to be pretty divisive. I just sent these back to Amazon because they are not gonna be any good for mixing. I bought these partly due to your positivity as you have so many more reference points than I do. Totally understand everyone has different tastes tho. Initially I liked them enough but when comparing to more expensive headphones I could hear the price point and the scoops in the frequency response were pretty evident especially when trying to identify sibilance. These are anything but flat and balanced. I also saw that these start snapping at the locking mechanism about 2 months into use so there is a clear stress point there and I can't risk that when using them on location. The metal connector to the air cup is literally attached to the locking mechanism via a thin bit of plastic. I do value your feedback. I think a lot of people do. I can't help feeling that you are riding the purchasing hype wave a little with this one. I know affiliate links pay the rent but I feel like a more measured comparison between these and some of the headphones they are directly in competition with would have been more revealing and more accurate. These are not as advertised and I am surprised you didn't make as big a deal of that in this review. I guess allot of these will end up in your Swap Meet.

I also want to use these out and about with my DAP, so the long cable is not a great choice, but Rode seemed to have thought about this and they sell shorter cables at 1.2 metres long, 4 feet in imperial, so that solves the long cable. Not only that, they come in all the colours of the bands, think I'm going to get a green one.

how well would these do with a schiit stack specifically the magni/modi?

@DigitalHeadShots 11 месяцев назад

Old news by now and im sure you know, but you can now buy these cans with a mic for $189.00. I think the mic is the same used for one of their lav mics IIRC, so should be pretty solid!

I like your unorthodox style, thanks for the review. As of 5/16/2024 if you purchase a RODECaster DUO you will get a "FREE" set of RODE NTH-100M headphones.

It's interesting. I watched a few other reviews on these and nearly everyone comments on how very flat they are since they were designed exclusively for mixing and studio work. One guy said that the drums sounded "smeared" to him. Yet, I heard Z's demo and he's clearly very excited about them. They do sound punchy and pretty good on that demo. I wonder why there is such a big difference in how these people perceive them vs Zeos and a decently impressive sound demo? It does cause me to hesitate a bit. I am curious about what other audiophile reviewers might think about them, if they review them at all. I've been watching Z's reviews for years now and I trust that when he's excited about something that they are pretty good, because I've tried some of the products myself, so I am confused about the sharp contrast in opinions here. The only others reviewing them right now are studio guys that say they are very neutral and not necessarily very exciting at all, and this is quite by design. It's clear in the Rode marketing that they intended for them to be used in the studio, and not necessarily for music enjoyment, and the other reviews seem to back that up. They don't make these sound exciting at all, because they are not supposed to be.

Same reason I don't like Anchovies and love Emma watson and anime girls.. We all pretty snowflakes and headphones are a subjective listening experience. If that weren't the case we would have one solidly communist headphone and everyone would enjoy that 100%

@shuttzi9878 2 года назад

Actually many people who knew each other and had those exact headphones says that some are flat and some are punchy and Beautiful. Sounds like there are many faulty units early on.

Check whether they have the plug in the spare cable hole on the phones. Whether you do or not changes the sound profile.

@ClaireMcHardy 2 года назад

@@tetrisgoat Not by much if anything. Mine sounded alright but I cant trust something that has such variance and that has snapping locking mechanisms after light use.

@orlesp4734 Год назад

They sound FLAT FLAT FLAT!!! I will return them. I have a pair of Shure and they sound awesome compare to this crap. I mean even my 10y/o beats, which sound horrible, sound better that this rodes!

@eiskalterorangensaft 2 года назад

Can you review the „aiaiai tma-2 studio“ ? Not the xe, not the HD, the studio ones ? People say they are like beyers just with better bass. Is it true ?

@PungkiAhimsa 2 года назад

These are several negative things I notice after listening to the demo. If any of you already try it in the real world I hope you can comment and tell me if it's true or not. 1) I think it doesn't have enough high frequencies in terms of the volume and the richness, even for something that's designed to be close to flat profile. Also even when the highs are boosted it doesn't really translate sparkly kind of highs well (maybe around 5KHz - 7KHz). (2) The transients is not fast. I'd consider it bad for a studio headphones. It's kind of comfortable to listen to but not really presenting drum hits accurately. (3) The lows has roll off at maybe 60 or 50 Hz so the subs are not really there. Can you confirm this? Or maybe it's not true and the demo is the one that's not showing the sound in the real world well enough. I'm not trying to hate here cause I actually like the look. Just have some concerns to make sure I don't waste my money. Thank you!

The sound demo was raw mic info. I usually tweak it in post but this was close enough to perfect through my monitoring headphones (timsok TS-1024's) That I decided to not apply my usual correction. The staging also causes it to record slightly dull.

@mariusmocan8491 Год назад

I just bought the Shure SRH440A from a local music shop because I needed some monitoring headphones with some bass for video editing and entertainment. I sorta bought them since Shure is also a mic/sound company. I'm not an audiophile so I dunno if I like the sound that much yet, but the build quality is shit, they get really hot and they hurt after an hour of use. Anyone else using these Shure headphones?... I'm returning these to get the RODE's instead.

The irony that the Sonys are his go to upstairs headphone is what I always felt I knew. He wears whatever feels the best and then goes for sound quality. Just like most people- but somehow that only is revealed in this video. Which is so freaching fascinating. It's like he's hiding his love for these comfortable sweatpants which are his Sonys and trying to convince us he gives a shit about these other heavy uncomfortable planar headphones. But he really doesn't. It's just then there isnt a headphone channel. I bet all the car reviewers have old Volvo V50 wagons they get used for $2000 but profess a love for every $40 k EV that they won't ever drive because it's so heavy and big and ugly and overpriced.

Almost bought these two years ago and sometimes wonder if I should have. My main use-case is games and then music. I can't make up my mind on what to get so I just never make a decision lol. I'm going to be stuck with my SHP 9500s and Truthear Zero until I can make a choice.
