The Neumann NDH 20 is a premium closed-back headphone designed to deliver studio-grade monitoring wherever you go. By combining world-class isolation with the legendary "Neumann Sound," these headphones offer an outstanding resolution and a carefully balanced sound image. Whether you are in a high-traffic tracking room, working at a Front of House (FOH) position, or mixing on the road, the NDH 20 provides the surgical accuracy required for professional audio decisions without the interference of external noise.
Critical Listening & Mixing Precision: While many closed-back designs suffer from resonances in the mid-band that can lead to poor mix choices, the NDH 20 is different. It offers an astonishingly detailed and well-balanced sound image, mirroring the performance of Neumann’s acclaimed studio monitors. This makes it an indispensable tool for mixing with confidence, ensuring your work translates perfectly to any playback system.
Newly Designed High-Gauss Drivers: The heart of the NDH 20 consists of custom-engineered 38 mm (1.5”) drivers equipped with high-gauss neodymium magnets. This setup ensures high sensitivity and extremely low distortion, allowing you to hear the pure audio signal without unwanted coloration or frequency masking.
Superior Isolation for Loud Environments: Thanks to its high sound isolation, the NDH 20 is perfectly suited for monitoring tasks in noisy environments. It prevents outside noise from disturbing the engineer and, equally importantly, prevents sound leakage from reaching microphones during tracking.
Outstanding Comfort & Mechanical Build: The construction meets the highest professional standards. It features an adjustable headband made of flexible steel and ear cup covers machined from lightweight aluminum. To ensure fatigue-free use during long sessions, it is equipped with large circumaural memory foam ear pads that offer incredible long-term comfort.
Designed for Portability: The NDH 20 is built for life on the road. The foldable design allows it to be tucked away into the supplied soft cloth bag for easy transportation. It comes with two detachable cables—one straight and one coiled—to suit any workflow.
Tracking & Monitoring: Ideal for musicians and engineers in the recording room who need high isolation.
Live Sound (FOH): Perfect for checking signals in loud concert environments.
