Neumann NDH 20 Closed-Back Studio Monitoring Headphones, Black Edition

STUDIO GRADE MONITORING - WHEREVER YOU GO
The Neumann NDH 20 is a closed-back headphone combining excellent isolation with the carefully balanced sound image and outstanding resolution you’d expect from a Neumann product. The NDH 20 is thus ideally suited to monitoring and mixing tasks, even in loud and noisy environments. Circumoral memory foam ear pads offer high long-term comfort. Now also available in a Black Edition.

CRITICAL LISTENING AND MIXING. IN THE STUDIO, AT HOME, ON THE ROAD
While many competing closed-back headphones are marred by nasty resonances in the midband, making it difficult to come to reliable mix decisions, the NDH 20 offers an astonishingly detailed, well-balanced sound image, similar to Neumann’s acclaimed studio loudspeakers. Superior sonics along with large memory foam ear pads make the NDH 20 a pleasure to wear for long periods without fatigue.

The NDH 20 uses newly designed drivers (38 mm/1.5”) with high-gauss neodymium magnets to ensure high sensitivity and minimized distortion, thus allowing the user to listen to the pure audio signal without unwanted coloration. The mechanical construction, too, meets the highest standards. The adjustable headband is made of spring steel while the ear cup covers are machined from lightweight aluminum. The NDH 20 is made of aluminum and spring steel. Its immaculate black surfaces exude stylish understatement. The foldable design guarantees easy transportation in the supplied soft cloth bag. The Black Edition of the NDH 20 comes with an internally balanced cloth covered cable for improved channel separation.
