The Neumann NDH 30 stands as a circumaural, open-back headphone designed to deliver exceptional detail resolution, high-precision stereo imaging, and a linear soundstage. Recognized with the TEC Award in 2023, the NDH 30 caters to the most demanding applications, particularly in the realms of mixing and mastering.

Key Features

• TEC Award Winner 2023: Acknowledged for its outstanding performance, the NDH 30 has earned the prestigious TEC Award in 2023, highlighting its excellence in the field.
• Open-Back Design: The NDH 30 features an open-back design, allowing its dynamic 38mm transducers to operate as acoustic dipoles. This design choice contributes to fast transient response, dry bass, uncolored mids, and transparent highs.
• Reference Sound Reproduction: Developed with the goal of making the reference sound of a Neumann studio monitor setup widely accessible, the NDH 30 aims to provide a portable reference headphone that mirrors the calibrated sound of Neumann studio monitors.
• Superior Transient Response: The headphone’s dynamic transducers exhibit an extremely fast transient response, ensuring accurate representation of the signal without coloration. The result is a headphone that faithfully reproduces the original sound.
• High-Quality Construction: Crafted with spring steel and aluminum, the NDH 30 maintains high-quality construction standards. The build ensures durability, while its handling properties align with the excellence associated with Neumann headphones.
• Linear Soundstage: The NDH 30 boasts a linear soundstage, offering superior linearity and detail resolution. The absence of sound coloration allows it to faithfully reproduce the signal without introducing unwanted tonal shifts.
• Frequency-Selective Absorbers: The headphone incorporates frequency-selective absorbers that eliminate overemphasis in the high frequencies. This ensures accurate representation and helps in making precise mixing decisions.
• Spatial Resolution: Impressive spatial resolution allows for razor-sharp localization in the stereo panorama and provides depth to the mix. This spatial clarity is crucial for critical listening and detailed mixing tasks.
• Compatibility with Neumann Monitoring Systems: The NDH 30 is designed to seamlessly integrate with Neumann Automatic Monitor Alignment, ensuring compatibility with Neumann monitoring systems. This consistency allows for continuity in mixing and mastering workflows.
• Binaural Mixing for Immersive Content: With its open-back design and exceptional detail resolution, the NDH 30 is well-suited for creating binaural mixes of immersive content, including virtual reality (VR) and gaming applications.
• Consistency in Manufacturing: To maintain consistency and reliability, the NDH 30 is manufactured with tight tolerances, ensuring that each headphone unit sounds exactly the same. This consistency is essential for critical listening and professional audio work.
