From the NDH Series to the NDH 30: The Open-Back Version That Became a Reference
A direct descendant of the NDH 20, the NDH 30 adopts an open-back architecture that makes it the new "portable" reference for Neumann sound. Frequency-selective absorbers correct the excessive highs often encountered in other headphones, while tight manufacturing tolerances ensure exemplary sonic consistency from unit to unit.
Who Is It For and What For?
Ideal for sound engineers, producers, and mobile creators, the NDH 30 is perfect for mixing, mastering, and precise editing at home, on tour, or in the studio. Its tonal compatibility with Neumann's KH series monitors allows starting a project on headphones and continuing it on speakers, and vice versa. It is also perfect for checking headphone translation and creating binaural mixes for immersive audio, VR, and gaming.
Key Features for Precision Monitoring
The NDH 30 relies on 38 mm drivers operating as an "acoustic dipole" thanks to the open-back ear cups. The result: micro-details, pinpoint localization, and clear depth of field, conducive to critical decisions (spectral balance, de-essing, spatialization).
The construction combines aluminum and steel for the headband, with foldable ergonomics and comfortable circumaural ear pads. The internally balanced cable limits crosstalk between channels for stable panning and a reliable stereo image, even at low levels.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Neumann NDH 30 suitable for mixing and mastering?
Its open design and 38 mm dynamic drivers are engineered for precision monitoring. The frequency-selective absorbers aim to correct high-frequency peaks. Tonal compatibility with Neumann KH monitors facilitates seamless switching from headphones to speakers.
Open-back NDH 30 headphones: are they suitable for recording?
The open design enhances the perception of micro-details and depth of field but does not provide any acoustic isolation as advertised. It is specifically intended for mixing, mastering, and precise editing.
What is the impedance of the headphones?
The specified impedance is 120 Ω, with a sound pressure level of 104 dB SPL at 1 kHz for 1 Vrms.
Is the NDH 30 suitable for binaural and immersive use?
The internally balanced cable reduces crosstalk between channels to stabilize panning and stereo image. This design is suitable for creating binaural mixes for immersive audio, VR, and gaming.
What is the weight and construction of the NDH 30?
The headband combines aluminum and steel, while the headphones feature a foldable circumaural design. The weight is 352 g, and the circumaural ear pads contribute to user comfort.
