Open-Back Design

The ATH-R30x open-back reference headphones deliver sound directly from the drivers, with little additional tuning or damping. Allowed to move freely, the headphones’ enhanced 40 mm drivers provide a natural, immersive listening experience.

Open-Back vs. Closed-Back: What's the difference?

Ideal for mixing, mastering, and creating in a studio or other private space, open-back headphones provide a natural, spacious sound akin to that produced by a speaker monitor system.

Closed-back headphones, on the other hand, isolate audio from outside noise, making them great for musicians recording in a studio or anyone listening in public or noisy environments.
