As a visually-impaired creator - I REALLY appreciate the effort you took to label each side with actual braille. Thank you 💛👨🏻🦯
So glad to hear we could help you out Daniel!
Braille pity that's all that appears to excite you. I would tell the difference with a raise L or R. Tell me what they sound like compared to say a pair of similar priced named headphones, & comfort after 2 hrs then build construction. That's what really matters.
I ordered a pair today after watching several reviews including Booth Junkies that sold me. I have a $40 pair of headphones that were causing ear fatigue. Some suggested another competitor (BD) but the price and fit didn’t seem worth it. The NTH-100 came out of left field as in I was not expecting these. I’ve been using the RodeCaster Pro since 2019 and know that quality is not an issue with Rode. I look forward to trying these out. Thanks!
They look great. Nice to see the headphones are made in Australia. I like to buy Australian made products. Have a great day.
Wow! There are countless numbers of us home-recording with a daw in small rooms with no way of fixing any acoustic treatment or even positioning monitor speakers in the correct position to get the 'sweet spot'. Happily there is now a bit of a shift to mixing and mastering using quality headphones combined with professional-grade software to simulate a natural flat studio response. These headphones are included jn the list of unique profiles within and I can assure that they sound absolutely fantastic. SoundID Reference is the name of the software. You will be amazed. 🎧🎶
Thanks Ronnie! We're happy you've been able to enjoy using the NTH-100 headphones for your monitoring projects. Happy mixing! 🎚️
as gamer who can't afford higher then $200 headphone i highly appreciate you guys had gaming performance considerations in mind, studio natural sounding headphone are always excellent for gaming, amazing job rode!
As just a usual headphone user, not a professional audiophile, I absolutely love my new NTH100s. Magic sound quality for music, audiobooks, UA-cam, and they are also excellent with my ham radio too!
Brilliant! Can't wait to buy a pair.
I love that Rode always has so much attention to all the little details.
My next pair of headphone for sure
Did I see Braille on the headphones? If so thats pretty cool!
Yes indeed, the left and right have indicators for the vision impaired 😊
@@rodemic It's the little things sometimes! ☺
That’s amazing!!
The considerations you guys have taken into account are fantastic. I'll definitely be picking these up.
Definitely my next pair of headphones.
please order a recall because the plastic locking piece brakes on at least 70% of the users, it is a serious problem, fixable with a metal base and plastic over-mold part, I know it is not easy to change the production, but it is a very easy to brake part that is integral and critical to the headphones. Please release NTH-101 soon with the fix, and recall all NTH-100. (If you do the NTH-101, also please include a double thickness head padding and release it at 170€-200€. no problem increasing the price a bit to fix them, they are worth that much.)
Would be great if you guys able to add plugin microphone cable as optional accessories for gamers market.
WOW - I've never seen so much innovation in any other headphones. The cable input on either cup is a simple but welcome example of the attention to detail. And price wise they sit nicely around (or below) the price of several other popular pro choices, but with more impressive design elements. I'm really keen to check these out in person - I'm pretty sure they be proudly sitting in my studio very soon. Thanks again RODE for another incredible product.
Hi Craig, you can find cable input on either cup in differente brands, like V-Moda or Aiaiai.
Rode sounds more like Apple.
That aside, I'm super impressed. Very well thought and designed product. The attention paid to the little details set a new benchmark for competitors.
"This may just be the last headphone you ever have to buy" :)
Rode has reasonable prices (for products made with quality in Australia) and doesn't gouge people like Apple (who still make things cheaply in China and mark their stuff up into the stratosphere).
These look great! I can’t wait to test it out
Very cool. My question is, wen Bluetooth? If these headphones also had Bluetooth I’d buy them 100%!!
Thank you for the best pair of headphones I have ever owned, RESPECT!
Thanks for being part of the RØDE fam 🫶
What an awesome video! Sounds like you guys took a long time developing these. Ive always heard the best headphones come from microphone companies. Bought a pair. Shoutout to ZReviews!
We've definitely carefully considered these at every step 😊 Awesome to hear you're on board!
NT HAYYCH headphones
We're on our 5th set of these between us. They're great, but that Fitlock bracket needs to be thickened up or made out of a more durable material.
We'd recommend utilising the lifetime warranty if you haven't already: rode.com/contact
@@rodemic They did help, thank you.
Hi there. I have my guitar plugged into an amp and now I need a headset to plug in so that I can practice silently. What headset do you recommend? Thank you
The NTH-100s are a great option and they come with a 3.5mm to 1/4" adaptor and 2.4 metre cable which are perfect for practicing on your guitar!
nice work ! looking forward to testing them out comfort being the most important, my boof head doesn't like tight headphones lol
They will definitely fit that bill!
I'm seeing a flood of reviews on the NTH-100's, and having used a couple of RODE microphones, I admit I'm curious.
Could you help me better understand your target market?
I've used and recommended the Sony MDR-7506's for monitoring for many years. They are neutral and solid, although the earpads leave something to be desired. I installed replacement earpads from Brainwavz on several Sony's late last year, and we'll see how those work out over time.
Are you positioning the NTH-100 to target the same market as the Sony's? The NTH-100 is priced $60 more. I'm not going to replace the Sony's we have, but I am curious about the RODE's for new projects.
Thanks!
Check out the review over at Z Reviews - he specifically compares these to the venerable Sony MDR 7506s. I think you might order these after you watch that review. I sure did.
Hey rode I would like to see some travel content creation headphones
Hopefully, you don't compress the dynamics like every other manufacturer that makes Headphone for content creation etc Headphones makers It would be awesome if you made an open back and an open back planar magnet headphones with 100mm drivers or even bigger for the most Convincing life-like sound because that Happens when you have such large drivers that they sound closer to real life and get the most realistic sound possible Hopefully your sell replacement parts I wish you would Ten foot Colored cable You can never have too many headphones
It seems nice... Sadly it will take a year+ until it becomes available in Greece (as always).
And will cost more than double than the US price.
I was looking for a new headphones, and you just considered a lot of things that are making me decide and wait for these! Can't wait for buying them.
No doubt Condenser microphones, headphones of Rode sound natural. Many fools don't understand this fact.
What an awesome looking product. Neutral, closed back, spacious, well built, and comfortable for $150!? I ordered on after seeing some reviews. It was exact what I was looking for but nothing quite fit the bill until now.
Thank you for the best pair of headphones I have ever owned :)
Awesome to see them get such a great reception. These headphones are second to none. Amazing sound quality, build quality and Aussie made! We were lucky to get early access and know y'all will love them!
Prefer the coiled cable of the Sony MDR-7506. Would be interested if they had a NTH-100 coiled cable.
The feature set and design details of RØDE's first Headphones is phenomonal!!! The braille on each headphone is a really nice touch. Congrats RØDE Microphones !!!
@Rode Would be great if Rode designed and manufactured (in Australia) a new set of headphones that also combines a flexible boom arm cardioid condenser microphone. Together with a couple of connectivity options, either a USB-C (with USB-A adapter) connection or a XLR microphone output together with a 3.5 mm (1/8" inch) input (plus a 6.3 mm (1/4" inch adapter)) connections to an audio interface such as the Rodecaster Pro II or the AI-1. Thanks for reading my comments and all the best for 2023.
Hey Andrew, thanks for letting us know what's on your wishlist! All of our gear is manufactured and designed in Australia so we can check that off for you already. 😉
I’ll be grabbing them later around the holiday season
Too bad it doesn't come with a curling cord with an angled 6.3mm jack plug (like for instance the Pioneer DJ headphones have). That would be more ideal for DJ use.
Thanks for the feedback @primabeeld1625. We'll pass your feedback onto the team.
Another plus is that these are made in Australia and not China.
I wish the lock in system design wasn't faulty...
I have had these for about a month now (only used them at my desk and I keep them on a stand) and they started to crack. I have seen this is a common issue and now I am returning them and getting something else as I can not afford to send them to be replaced every 1-2 months...
I really love these, a lot of great and innovative features + good sound quality for my video editing needs, especially in this price range!
I will definitely buy the next generation in the future once you get the snapping plastic issue sorted! Hope that happens soon tho.

What should we do if the other plug is lost in which the cable is not attached :/? Is there any damage if the other apparatus that the Rodh-100 headphone cable is not connected to is lost?? Is it harmful if the other plug is not installed?

Everything I have been wanting in headphones. Rode already hit it out of the park for me when they created the RodeCaster Pro. Now I am upgrading to the RodeCaster Pro 2 and to my surprise the NTH-100's are coming with it for free for a limited time. Thanks Rode!!
Great would like to review one pair!!!
is it good for vocal recording..? singers ( closed back or open back headphone?)
Yes it is! And they are closed back 😊
Can they be used by Joe Public to just listening music on a computer?
Yes!
I purchased these 2 weeks ago and am thrilled with the build, sound and comfort. One wish. Ship with the shorter cable. I now had to spend an additional $27+ for the shorter one and I will never use the longer one. I don't think that's right. Merely my opinion.
Thanks for the feedback Laurie!
@@rodemic Thanks for responding. BTW, the only reason I mentioned the length of the cable is that practically every reviewer felt the cable that came in the box was too long. :-)
I don't know if it's the applied audio compression or not, but the tone of the voice in the video just isn't quite right. It's actually distracting for me and I know Ryan's voice is cleaner than this. It's as if the room it was recorded in was a bit boxy or something. Of course, it could be just me as I'm not wearing their new headphones yet.
Always Waiting for the RODE products ❤️
Purchased plenty of your products in my 17+ years of sound recording. Would definitely give it a shot to listen through those, specs are actually very close to the Beyrdynamics DT770 Pro. For the price, it's quite impressive.
I'm sold! If there were no other features or specs about these cans that blew the competition out of the water (and there are), just the fact that the earcups and headband use velour rather than that stupid vinyl that flakes off after using the phones for a while, AND the headband pad is replaceable along with the earcup pads (usually just the earcup pads are replaceable, if that) - that's a win for me. Only thing I wish is that Rode offered coiled cords as an option. Those seem to have gone out of fashion over the years for some reason, but I still like them both for location and studio use. Not a dealbreaker, though.
Can you plug in an inline mic to these? Do you sell an adapter for the proprietary connector so someone can use a third party cable or mic? Do you intend to sell a broadcast-level mic for the headphones that can go into one of the ports? How about wireless adapters?
awesome innovation .. as a video editor i can tell how much having a good headphone matters and helps in ur workflow.. its an absolute essential thing one must hv. Great that my favourite brand is making them now 🎧
So much potential. Can't wait to have a test listen. But the real value is the EQ and the asking price. Otherwise, I'm excited.
Can it be used balanced?
5:17. Not true. My headphones didn't fit my kitten or my pet bush pig.
You did it again! Definitely going to buy as soon as they are available in my country. Thanks!
🌟 ｐｒｏｍｏｓｍ
Idk what they feel like but i just bought some, they look amazing!
Spoiler: they feel great
@@rodemic Spoiler , They break easily on the locking plastic part that should have been metal or at least plastic over-mold with metal structure from the start.
Awesome Rode congratulations on the NTH-100 🤩
Looks terrific like most Rode products we have invested in (apart from the unreliable Wireless Go II which has failed so many times to produce a signal for broadcasting sports consistently although the direct recording feature hasn't let us down yet). Sure to add these to the collection but the one big miss here is Bluetooth. Just feel Rode are missing a trick here (unless they are lined up for the next generation) but with so many customers using headphones on the go when walking a cable-less option is a huge miss here.
Wired will always be better quality than Bluetooth. I'd prefer better sound quality at the end of the day for sure.
@@Mictian Of course, but to have the option of Bluetooth is a big plus in addition to the indoor use.
Weird glitching in the video at 3:21, might wanna check that out
These are my new daily now, really enjoying it so far.
I’m SOLD!! 👍
Hey, i can't see any frequency response graph anywhere, i think you guys should measure and post official frequency graph because it's going to be important to validate if this headphone is truly studio flat or not
The NTH-100s have an extremely flat frequency response all the way down to 20Hz and below, giving you a very accurate representation of your audio, without the exaggerated mid-bass and treble of some similar headphones. This makes them ideal for mixing and any other use case where you want a very accurate audio image.
I was so looking forward to those 😍
When they will be available in Finland?
They're available now!
Is this foldable for storage?
Hey Ramon, no these don't fold up
Nice 👍🏻
Do Turramurra have a good supply of them? If so, I might drop by there in a day or two to check them out.
Yes, they should do!
Love the replaceable design, customisability and the slightly more subtle branding mark than the PSA1+. A coiled or semi-coiled cable option would be great. Imagine if you guys had made it possible to plug a headset mic into the other port...maybe that's a later model! Look forward to trying these out.
Thanks for the the feedback Levi, could be indeed! 😊
👍🏾🙏🏾
Do they come with (additional) open-back cups?
No sorry
do they need to be amped?
No
Take my money!!!! Ooops i dont have the money 😂
😂😂
Pre-Ordered them !!! Can't wait!
Fitlok is just 👌
Bravo! Well executed. Ordered them yesterday on B&H. Any idea when they will start shipping?
Amazing! B&H should be able to give you a better understanding of when this will ship, best to reach out to them 😊
@@rodemic I guess I meant when they start shipping in general. Like, are they available anywhere yet?
@@rodemic Anyone looking at this thread, B&H just shipped mine. Should be here in two days. A message to Rode... I don't know if it's a hired social company or an actual full time Rode employee responding here but, thank you. Thank you for producing quality products that are innovative, priced right and last a very long time. You listen to your customers and it shows. Bravo to you, Rode.
Given the double-sided inputs, can this be run balanced as well?
Hey there, it can't be run as balanced unfortunately.
Understandable, @@rodemic. It's a pretty niche use case. However, it seems like a revision down the line could make this possible. It should only require one extra wire within the headphone.
You sailed it to me)
Not sure if I should be an early adopter or not 🤔
Speaking from someone wearing them right now, your ears won't regret it 😊
@@rodemic lol, I can’t resist new tech 😂
What’s the price point?
Hey Deb, these are $149 USD 😊
@@rodemic (cough) Rode is an Aussie company (cough)
30 years? Really?
Fantastic!
Why is there no Bluetooth and when is there one coming with it?
Because wired is better quality, always.
@@Mictian That is true, however that makes them less versatile in the use (outside use etc). For example the Marshall Monitor ones i have both have detachable cable and Bluetooth, this is what i would like to see on these headphones. Of course you probably would like to connect the cable when mixing and stuff like that, but otherwise the Bluetooth would be so more useful since the cable is majorly annoying.
Unfortunately Bluetooth wasn't available when they started designing the headphones 30 years ago. 😛
Looks great. Price is reasonable too. I would buy if it had Bluetooth and microphone (on boom arm) for video calls, next product? 🤓
All professional headphones have a twisted cable. Guys, well, it's obvious that stepping on or hitting a direct cable is more likely to fall. You have cool products, I love you, but make a twisted cable, please.
