Neumann NDH 30 Reference-Class Open-Back Headphones

The Neumann NDH 30 is a reference-class open-back headphone designed for one purpose: to make critical mixing and mastering decisions with total confidence. It delivers outstanding detail, a high-precision stereo image, and razor-sharp localization. Its linear soundstage and superior transient response make it the definitive choice for the most demanding applications.

Premium Detachable Cable: Includes an internally balanced, cloth-covered cable to minimize channel crosstalk and improve spatial resolution.

Your Portable Sound Reference

The NDH 30 was developed to bring the reference sound of a Neumann KH studio monitor setup—perfectly calibrated—to a portable headphone format. Its open-back design allows the 38mm dynamic transducers to act as acoustic dipoles, delivering an extremely fast transient response, dry bass, uncolored mids, and transparent highs. In other words, the NDH 30 has no sound coloration; it reproduces the signal 1:1.

Uncompromising Precision

To achieve its superior linearity, the NDH 30 uses frequency-selective absorbers that eliminate the overemphasis in high frequencies found in many other headphones—the very issue that leads to incorrect mixing decisions. The NDH 30 will accurately reveal whether a voice is muffled or needs a de-esser.

Seamlessly Continue Your Mix

With its high linearity and detail resolution, the NDH 30 is perfectly compatible with Neumann's KH-Line loudspeaker systems. A mix you start on the road with the NDH 30 can be seamlessly continued in the studio on your KH monitors, and vice versa. It is the ultimate tool for checking headphone compatibility and creating binaural mixes for immersive content.
