When Neumann — the legendary company behind some of the world's most revered studio microphones and monitors — releases headphones, you pay attention. The NDH 20 is Neumann's first pair of studio monitoring headphones, and it's a stellar debut in precision, isolation, and comfort.
These closed-back cans deliver the linear, uncolored sound signature Neumann is famous for, making them an indispensable tool. Whether you're tracking vocals, mixing on the road, or simply want to hear your favorite albums as the artist intended, the NDH 20 is built for the job.
Isolation Without Compromise
The NDH 20 doesn't just block out the world — it does so while maintaining the pristine sound quality you'd expect from a Neumann product. With over 34 dB of passive noise isolation, these headphones let you focus on what matters: the music. Circumaural memory foam ear pads seal comfortably around your ears, creating a controlled listening environment even in chaotic studios or loud FOH situations.
Studio-grade Isolation: The closed-back design and generous ear cushions provide exceptional noise rejection, allowing you to monitor accurately in tracking rooms, live venues, or anywhere ambient noise would normally be a problem.
Extended Frequency Response: With a frequency range spanning 5 Hz to 30 kHz, the NDH 20 reveals the deepest bass rumbles and the most delicate high-frequency air, making them ideal for checking the extremes of your mix.
Clear, Accurate Sound: Unlike many closed-back headphones with midrange resonances or muddy bass, the NDH 20 offers a balanced, detailed sound comparable to Neumann's renowned studio speakers — ensuring your mix translates seamlessly to other systems.
Built for the Long Haul
Long mixing sessions can be tough, but the NDH 20 makes them easier with smart ergonomics. Its memory foam ear pads are soft and comfortable, and the adjustable steel headband ensures even weight distribution. You can wear them for hours without experiencing the headphone fatigue that often disrupts studio sessions.
Premium Construction: The adjustable headband is made from flexible steel for durability, while the ear cup covers are machined from lightweight aluminum. It's the kind of quality you expect from a brand that doesn’t cut corners.
High-Sensitivity Drivers: New 38 mm drivers with high-gauss neodymium magnets deliver 114 dB SPL with minimal distortion. You'll hear the pure audio signal without unwanted coloration.
Comfortable for Hours: Superior sound meets superior comfort. Those large memory foam ear pads aren't just for isolation; they make marathon listening sessions a pleasure, not a punishment.
Ready for Anything, Anywhere
Whether you're in a studio, hotel room, or even on a tour bus, the NDH 20 seamlessly adapts to your workflow. Its foldable design fits neatly into the included soft cloth bag, while two detachable cables (straight and coiled) provide flexibility for any setup. Use the included 1/4" adapter to connect to a console or plug directly into your interface. Designed for portability and durability, these headphones are ready to go wherever you need them.
Foldable & Portable: The collapsible design makes transport a breeze. Toss them in the included soft bag, and your investment stays protected on the move.
Dual Cable Options: Take your pick. The NDH 20 comes with two detachable cables — one straight and one coiled — so you can choose the right setup for your session, whether you're parked at the desk or pacing around the studio.
Mix-ready Right Out of the Box: With a shockingly flat frequency response and natural stereo imaging, the NDH 20 is purpose-built for mixing — a rare feat for a closed-back design. You can finally make confident decisions that translate beautifully across any playback system.
The Bottom Line
The Neumann NDH 20 combines decades of acoustic expertise from a legendary microphone company into an exceptional headphone design. These closed-back headphones deliver outstanding clarity and resolution, rivaling many open-back models, while offering the superior isolation of a sealed design. Whether you're tracking, mixing, or simply enjoying music, the NDH 20 provides precise, uncompromising audio quality.

Best mixing headphones I have used so far.
These headphones sounded WAY better than my expectations! As someone who mixes on Beyerdynamic DT 880s as well as composes/produces with VModa M-100 Master, the NDH20 BLEW-me-AWAY. The best way I can sum this up is: They sound like studio monitors in your ear, not like headphones. Super Awesome! On ...
