Audio-Technica is expanding its R-Series line of professional headphones with the addition of the ATH-R30x Open-Back Reference Headphones, joining the ATH-R50x and flagship ATH-R70xa.

Open-back R-Series headphones are designed for mixing, mastering and working in a studio or other private space. ATH-R30x headphones offer the ‘natural R-Series open-back listening experience’ (at an affordable price) with extremely accurate audio reproduction with a spacious soundstage that replicates live performance.

Fully open-back sound relies solely on the performance of the 40mm drivers, with each diaphragm movement directly translating into sound – ATH-R30x headphones are engineered to eliminate internal resonances and provide extremely quick transient response to deliver an authentic open-air experience with minimal distortion.

The spacious soundstage and audio clarity are result from the use of Audio-Technica’s transducer design with very little additional tuning or damping. High-efficiency magnets and pure alloy magnetic circuit design reduce distortion and ensure accurate and extended high-frequency response. Acoustically transparent, honeycomb-mesh housings provide a natural and spacious open-back sound.

The headband on the lightweight ATH-R30x features an adjustable headpad that can be positioned to the user’s preference, ensuring the highest level of comfort. The replaceable velour earpads and cooling open-back design add to the comfort, allowing the user to stay immersed in the audio even through long listening sessions.

The ATH-R30x is fitted with a 3.5mm TRS connector. A screw-on 6.3mm (quarter-inch) adapter is included.
