Neumann NDH 20 (Black)

Designed for tracking, mixing, and critical listening, the Neumann NDH 20 Black Edition Headphones offer a closed-back circumaural fit as well as a delineated sonic image. In addition to the sleek black styling with prominent L and R letters on the earcups, this Black Edition includes a detachable, internally balanced cable that’s designed to minimize crosstalk while increasing spatial resolution. The headphones make use of 38mm drivers that employ a high-gauss neodymium magnet to ensure a response devoid of distortion and coloration. They provide a frequency response of 5 Hz to 30 kHz.

Many other closed-back headphones supply nasty resonances in the midrange, which inhibit your ability to make accurately informed mixing decisions. This pair was designed to avoid such pitfalls to give you a sound and soundstage similar to that of Neumann’s line of studio loudspeakers.

The NDH 20’s adjustable headband is constructed from steel, while the earcups are fashioned out of lightweight aluminum. On the earpads, you get cushioning memory foam that supplies hours of comfort. When you’re not using the headphones, simply fold them up and put them in the included soft-cloth bag. The internally balanced cable features a 3.5mm connector and a 1/4″ adapter is also supplied.
