Capturing Every Nuance of Performance



The "RP-HD10" features newly developed 50mm HD drivers with a multi-layer film (MLF) diaphragm. The thinness and lightness of the hundreds of stacked MLF layers enable high responsiveness, wide frequency response (4Hz–50,000Hz), and high-resolution playback.

The magnetic circuit, including the voice coil and magnets, has also been redesigned. By driving the diaphragm more precisely, it can distinguish and reproduce the overlapping sounds of individual instruments. The driver frame uses PN041 (PLA), a new material with excellent vibration damping properties, to suppress unnecessary vibrations and resonance, achieving a "pure sound" with minimal coloration.

Furthermore, it incorporates the world's first "HS (Horizontal Slide) Adjust Mechanism," which allows the headband to slide horizontally to adjust to the wearer's head shape while keeping the housing in the optimal position. The earpads, designed with an optimal ergonomic shape and low-resilience cushioning, fit snugly around the ears for excellent sealing and sound isolation.

Additionally, the detachable cord comes in lengths of approximately 1.2m or 3m. The headphones weigh approximately 340g. A stereo mini-to-standard plug adapter and a carrying pouch are included.
