BUILT FOR CREATIVE
ENDURANCE
UNMATCHED
DURABILITY.
Like all RØDE products, the NTH-100s are
precision-engineered using the highest quality
components and built to withstand the rigours of
creating day in, day out.
Every element of their construction has been
meticulously designed for longevity: the headband
is high-grade stainless spring steel with a highly
durable coating; the Alcantara® earpad and
headband cushions are extremely resistant to wear
and tear; the earpads and headband are both user-
replaceable and can be taken o in seconds; and
the exible, easy-roll cable is also highly durable
and user-replaceable.
The bi-directional earcup adjustment design
is incredibly sturdy and the FitLok™ headband
locking system minimises movement when the
headphones aren’t in use. The NTH-100s also come
with a storage pouch for keeping them safe on the
road or in the eld.
Every pair of NTH-100s is made right here in
RØDE’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities
in Sydney, Australia , and is backed by our 2-year
warranty and legendary customer service.
When creating the NTH-100s, “good enough” was never good enough. From the beginning, we set out
to make a pair of headphones that, in addition to looking, sounding and feeling incredible, was also
supremely tough. Every decision regarding design elements, materials and construction details was
made to ensure the highest level of reliability and durability, with a rigorous testing process validating
each choice we made.
The stainless spring steel headband was tested
under extreme pressure over 20,000 times
(equating to roughly 25 years of daily use) to
ensure it will never wear out.
Every component was made to last, right down
to the wire that links the earcups. These are
rated to withstand over 25kg of force, so if it gets
snagged on something in your bag, it will not
stretch or break.
The cable and earcup sockets are rated to 12kg,
and the bayonet connector is made from a
slightly soer material than the socket, so if
the cable gets pulled in extremis, it’s the (user-
replaceable) connector that deforms, not the
headphones themselves.
We used robotic technology
to pull, bend, tug, rotate and
stretch the nal construction
of the headphones thousands
of times to ensure they will
withstand decades of use and
still look and sound awless.
The NTH-100s were also put
through several environmental
testing procedures for durability
assurance in a wide variety of
potential scenarios – everything
from climate and water tests to
drop and abrasion tests.
They passed with ying colours.
