Know before you buy
Yes, the broadcast-grade microphone is fully detachable, allowing you to use the headset as standard headphones when you don't need to record or take calls.
The NTH-100M uses a TRRS connection, so if your computer only features USB-C ports, you will need a separate USB-C to 3.5mm adapter to connect the headset.
The CoolTech™ gel is integrated into the ear cushions to actively absorb and dissipate heat. It provides a noticeable cooling sensation that helps prevent ear fatigue during extended periods of use.
While engineered for broadcast and business, the NTH-100M is excellent for gaming. Its noise-cancelling microphone and high-fidelity audio drivers provide clear communication and immersive sound quality.
The FitLok™ system is a locking mechanism on the headband that allows you to set your preferred size and lock it in place. This ensures the headset maintains a consistent, secure fit every time you put it on.
Yes, the ergonomic closed-back design is specifically engineered to provide excellent passive noise isolation. It effectively blocks out ambient background noise, making it suitable for busy office environments or home studios.
