The point about neutral tones in headphones is so key. I was using my Denon DJ HP1100 headphones, which I'd used for commuting for years. Great noise cancellation, awesome sound, but definitely skewed on big bass. Switched to Sony MDR-7506 a couple of months ago, what a huge difference to final edit of my podcasts.

Great video, Tom! I'm really interested in the NTH-100 headphones from Rode. I had been using the Sony MDR-7506's for almost 15 years, and I finally decided to replace them with something else when the headband started to disintegrate this year haha. I always struggle with headphones because I wear glasses, and some headphones just aren't a great combo with glasses frames. I'm hoping the Rode pair work well in that regard.

Headphones is a very personal choice. What works for some dont work for others. Especially when it comes to comfort, along with type of use/music. That said, there is a handful of good choices in (50) 100-200 range. Samson Technologies SR850, Shure SRH840, beyerdynamic DT 990, beyerdynamic DT 770, to name a few with different price, size and open/closed. Some will need a external mixer/amp or a good soundcard, but you can get things like FiiO E10K or the newer K3 for just over 100usd. But if you already have a Focusrite Scarlet or another audio interface, most of them should work great and also let you do zero latency monitoring if wanted with a microphone.

Good news! I was able to find these discounted to a very attractive price and am excited to try them. I'm sure they'll be great. Not-so-good news...there are a good few reviews saying there is a design flaw with a plastic piece relating to the hinge near the ear cups. Seems like a common point of failure. But we'll see...

Also got the Rode they are just great... I was using AudioTechnica before, I thought they were comfortable but the Rode are much better... and I really like the guitar insert and the slowmo intro 👍

Great review. My headphones of choice are the Rode NTH 100's at the moment. That's an interesting take about them being cool to the touch and so forth. That is huge marketing hype. I don't find them cool are cool to the touch. It would be better explained that they don't get hot like some other headphones including my Sony 7506's. I like the NTH 100's a lot but the jury is still out as to whether they sound better than my 7506"s. They do offer better isolation and I love the straight cord that can be used on either side.

@@tombuck Tom may I ask you. How many TB is the SSD of your main Mac? Just for reference

Coming back to this one after using the NTH-100's for a couple months now, and I have to say, I absolutely love them! The audio quality is phenomenal at this price point for editing, they're ridiculously comfortable, and the build quality is excellent. I do have a few gripes though. First-and I've seen a few videos mention this-coming from the Audio Technica ATH-M50x, the lack of full swivel on the RØDEs was a bit disappointing. I like resting my headphones around my neck, and it's just not as comfortable to do that as it is with the M50's. Second, the earcup size is just a bit on the small side. My ears are on the bigger end of medium, so these are just barely large enough to be over-ear headphones to me. This design choice confuses me. Why not just make the earcups large enough to cover more ear sizes? Third, I very much prefer coiled cables on my headphones, and RØDE just doesn't sell them. Fourth-and this one is painful-I have longer hair, and I'm CONSTANTLY ending up with strands of my hair getting stuck in the hinge on the back of the earcups. That might be a combination of the way my hair falls back and the size of my head, but damn if it isn't painful taking these off sometimes. It's something like 75% of the time I'm wearing them, I end up having at least one or two strands of hair getting yanked out by the headphones. I hate tying my hair back, but I've found that in order to wear these, I need to tie my hair, or I risk losing a few strands.

@tombuck

Glad you're enjoying them overall! This is really interesting because there's stuff I didn't consider (I have relatively short hair so it didn't even occur to me that long hair could get caught) and there's stuff that really comes down to personal preference (I definitely am not a fan of coiled cables). Ultimately, it's always important to focus on YOUR specific needs when choosing something.

Hi ​@@tombuck and @AudioHotline, I really want to like the headphones, but after watching a lot of the reviews & the sound demo. I have my doubts in some area. I think I found 3 negative things about it so far (1) The high frequency maybe above 5 - 6K Hz are not enough even for something that's designed to be close to flat. The richness of the highs are also a bit questionable because even when I use EQ correction and boost it, it doesn't seem to show sparkly kind of highs well enough. (2) The transients seem to be not fast enough for reproducing accurate percussion hit. Probably ok for voice, but wont be ideal for music production. Combine this with the lack of high frequency, it might resulted in not very good clarity and separation in a dense mix (3) It has roll off at maybe 50 or 60 Hz which is pretty common in studio headphones, but that means if we want to produce music with accurate sub bass it's not the one to go for. I hope the comfort and feel doesn't trick you into thinking that it's better than what it actually is. I'll be very happy if I'm completely wrong and might also get one. I just feel that the hype marketing around this headphone could be misleading for some people especially those who are new to headphones & content creation world.

I can't say how good it works, and it might get chaotic in a situation with lots of people talking. Truthfully, in the past for situations like that, I make headphones a "non-negotiable" requirement. I don't care if they're fancy studio headphones or a simple pair of earbuds, but I make everyone wear them so I there's no risk of ruining the audio for something that a lot of people have set aside time to participate in.

Thank you! I need to find good ones.

For using Rode NTH-100 do you need amplifier? or you can just plug in into your phone and listen to some music?

They'll work with pretty much anything without the need for any additional gear.

How you got the blue ear cushion?

I’d like to add that the meze 99 classics noir actually have a 10db shelf for all frequencies below like 200hz, so they are actually more bassy than modern beats headphones like the studio 3. Of course true neutral for headphones is debatable, but with this much bass I think it’s fair to say that the meze 99 classic noir really aren’t neutral

For consuming audio, the Mezes are a bit nicer, but for creating audio, the Rode's are a bit more accurate (I think).

I saw the title and thought to myself sarcastically "Best Headphones, eh? Did Rode start making headphones now?"

I have had two pairs of these snap on me so far. To Rode's credit,they now have a lifetime warranty. Hopefully the replacements that they are sending me are better.

As long as they replace it then I guess it's ok, but that's definitely a hassle. It'll be interesting to see if they've changed any of the design.

It’s the truth!

I much rather prefer wired headphones with a Bluetooth adapter that Way as the standards change the batteries that are nonreplaceable die ETC things can be upgraded.

Is be re dynamic 770 pro good

I haven’t used them but they seem to be made more for general listening, not production.

I have been using my cheap 20 dollars on ear gaming headphones when I do my podcast and video headphones the studio headphones I do have the volume is too low for me too hear if the audio is too high or low

For ages I just used whatever I had too, but it’s definitely nice to have a reliable pair of headphones.

Buck is Back!

to be a good headset for podcasting you need a replaceable battery and a efficient mute command on a manual switch

Would like to see you have and test Beyerdynamic dt-770, the one that is really missing from your collection. Thanks for your nice videos

Noise isolation is a physical barrier. Noise cancellation is an active process.

I must admit, some of your puns are pretty bucking funny.

I bet myself that today's video would be the new Rode headphones. I used to have a hugely expensive Sennheiser 800 headphone I sold then and now I have the Apple Max (great for flights) and the Studio standard Sennheiser HD 280 Pro. If I get a new pair the Rodes will probably be what I get.

For the price I think they’re really tough to beat. I did try a pair of noise canceling Sennheiser’s a while ago and they were amazing- felt like I little just turned the world off.

@@tombuck Now IF i can just get @Rode to send you a PROCASTER TO Review! LOL FYI-Did you know that the cable lock is designed to break before the headphone side so all you have to do is replace the cable?

fun video, but meze 99 neos are incredibly bass heavy and not as good for mixing of audio. enjoyment? absolutely. Sennheiser HD600's are great flat sounding headphones for mixing and they've been used since the 90s. a little expensive yes, but they're excellent. then you can use EQ software to make them as flat as possible so you can have the most accurate form of your audio. once you get into the mastering stage, wear the 99s to make sure that bassy headphones sound good with your videos, wear Grado sr60s to hear if it sounds good with super bright treble heavy headphones. listen in the car because that's what a lot of people might listen on. Professional sound engineers use the "car test" often. the main mix of the audio is best done on a neutral (not bass heavy, not treble heavy, simple flat headphones [not meze 99s]) set of cans Im so sorry for going so far with this im an audio major in college and an audiophile and hearing Meze 99s classified as "neutral" just hurt me a little. very well produced video though, the rodes do you well

How did you know I was looking for headphones? I didn't even know I was!

It looks like you have enough headphones where if you would have stopped with the first pair and saved, you could have got a decent set.

How strange- they really want to keep you away form my channel! As for sound quality, I don't really do anything special. I try and make sure the gain levels are set properly for each mic (in the channel's settings, not just the fader), and then depending on the mic, using a booster can be key too. Once you add that clean gain via a booster, a lot of mics can really shine.

There it is: the famous "Tom Buck review“.

This is the technical side of things that I'm not too familiar with, but the Rode's have worked great on my computers and Rodecaster so far, which are the devices I use most in my workflow.

Did you face some pressure from the headband all the way down to your outer skull? 😅😅 That‘s the only downside, I guess..

They've always been super comfortable to me, but I guess it depends on head size/shape. Based on hats and helmets I've worn, I have a medium-sized head.
