AI summary of this review

While the RODE NTH-100 excels in build quality and aesthetics, it is categorically dull sounding and fails to dethrone the AKG K371 in terms of audio performance.

AI summary of this review

The NTH-100 offers great comfort and materials for the price, but it is a hard sell due to severe sound coloration and reliability concerns regarding the FitLok system.
