Audio-Technica ATH-R50x info, Wiring, Replacement & Custom Cables

TL;DR Any of our cables from this product collection (HC-6s) are fully compatible with the Audio-Technica ATH-R50x headphones!

*NOTE* In an earlier version of this page I mistakenly had this headphone being listed as balanced capable, compatible with both TRS and TRRS headphone connectors. I was mistaken in my initial testing and have since updated and corrected this page accordingly. Please contact us (contact@hartaudiocables.com) if you have any questions!

The Audio-Technica ATH-R50x is a single entry headphone, taking a locking 2.5mm TRS connector in the left earcup.

HC-6 | This is our standard 4.5 ft, modular locking 2.5mm TRS cable for the ATH-R50x . This cable utilizes our modular system, so it will need to be paired with an interconnect using the dropdown at the link, or by shopping in our interconnects collection or Multi-kit Collection. Please note that since these headphones are not balanced, it should only be paired with unbalanced interconnects (IC-1, IC-2, IC-C).
