About this deal

In the world of microphones, Neumann's reputation is unmatched. Does their first‑ever pair of headphones live up to the name? In the case of these headphones, you have a very (perceived) flat response, yet, the clarity is almost hyped. These are Keepers and every one I sent a photo to is Jealous! they look like a piece of audio artwork, and well sound great.

There is one credible video review online and the reviewer cites their sound as dead flat and amazing.It’s not an understatement to call Neumann a legendary pro audio company. Their microphones have been used by all kinds of celebrities – starting from a certain controversial Austria-born politician in the 1930s all the way up to now with Billie Eilish and others looking to make their mark upon the world with sound. It’s not the “feels like I’m wearing nothing” act the Sennheiser HD800 pull off, but I could wear the NDH 30 for a full day. The pads are circular, huge, and cushy. These headphones use clamping force to stay on your head, but it’s never annoying. There are no pressure hotspots and no HD650 cheekbone death grip. The pads on the NDH 30 are plush and let me listen to music for hours without discomfort. Internals Neumann states that these headphones sound like their monitor speakers calibrated to flat in a treated control room. The NDH 30 can be folded flat for transportation, but there is no hard case. Sennheiser themselves, of course, are also well known both for microphones and headphones, but until this year, the Neumann brand has never encompassed headphones. That has changed with the launch of the NDH 20. Warum nun sind Sie eine tolle Ergänzung zum KH120 (oder die KH120 eine tolle Ergänzung zu diesen Kopfhörern) ?

Not so with the Neumann's, as the bass is crystal clear, yet small, as that is the sound of this Album, regarding the bass.The NDH 30 are primarily designed to be the studio engineer’s tool for peering into mixes when monitor speakers are unavailable. What does it mean exactly?

There is less roll-off than on the HD6XX series headphones, and deep notes carry almost no distortion or noise. Just like with the NDH 20, Neumann engineers are doing wonders with the Sennheiser 40mm (or 38mm?) driver. As with many things, your opinion of the NDH 30 will depend on your expectations. No, they aren’t the second coming of HD650. We can all settle down and resume dreaming. They are, however, a pair of decently proficient modern headphones – with one serious flaw. Versteht mich nicht falsch, auch ohne die Monitore machen die Kopfhörer einen hervorragenden Job. Sie sitzen bequem, trotz des Gewichts, sie sind absolut tadellos verarbeitet und der Sound ist so präzise, wie ich es noch nie vorher gehört habe. Jede kleine Veränderung am Mix stellen diese Kopfhörer direkt dar. There are many aspects of audio performance that can be measured, and the idea of manufacturer specifications is to guarantee that what you’re buying will measure a certain way. Some of these specifications are more important than others, and in the case of both microphones and monitoring systems, it’s easy to get hung up on frequency response as the be‑all and end‑all of performance. But is it?Fitment on the fixture was VERY difficult. It would not fully surround the artificial ear, and I could not get it to fully seal no matter what I did. Slight movements and changes would vary the levels but in practice, I noticed frequency response did not substantially change. Still, be on notice that my confidence in measurements are not super high (although EQ settings verified that they were good enough for that purpose). Weil Frequenzgang, die Charakteristik der Wiedergabe, fast identisch ist. Mische ich etwa auf den Kopfhörern, kann ich mir sicher sein, dass auf den Monitoren nichts überspitzt oder zu unterschwellig wird, ohne das ich es möchte. Genauso geht es auch anders herum. Kann ich aus verschiedenen Gründen nicht über die Monitore mischen, dann sind es die Kopfhörer, die mir genau zeigen, wie es auf den Monitoren klingen würde, addiert mit etwas mehr Tiefen. Das bringt mir vor allem Kontrolle im Low-End, wenn ich keinen Subwoofer habe. One final thing I have to touch upon is the excellent sound insulation properties of these headphones. The NDH 20 delivers and then some in this respect. I really appreciated the superb suppression of external noise while there’s very little leakage of audio from the listeners themselves.
