FAQs
What is the difference between the RH-200S and the RH-200?
The RH-200S is the silver version of the RH-200 and features a straight 3.4-meter cable. The standard RH-200 is typically black and may come with a coiled cable. Both models share the same core driver and sound characteristics.
Are these headphones suitable for mobile use with a smartphone?
Yes, they are compatible with smartphones via the 1/8-inch connector. However, some newer smartphones may require a USB-C or Lightning to 3.5mm adapter, which is not included.
Can I replace the earpads?
Yes, earpads are typically replaceable. You can usually find replacement earpads designed for the RH-200 series from Roland or third-party accessory makers.
What is the impedance of the RH-200S headphones?
The Roland RH-200S headphones have an impedance of 40 ohms, making them suitable for use with a wide range of audio sources without requiring a dedicated headphone amplifier.
How long is the cable?
The RH-200S features a straight, 3.4-meter (approximately 11.2 feet) cable.
Do these headphones offer active noise cancellation?
No, the RH-200S headphones feature a passive noise isolation design due to their closed-back construction. They do not have active noise cancellation technology.
Troubleshooting
No sound or low volume
Ensure the headphone plug is fully inserted into the audio source. Check that the volume on the source device is turned up. Verify that the correct output is selected in your device's audio settings. Test with a different audio source or device to rule out a problem with the headphones.
Sound is distorted or crackling
Lower the volume on the source device, as it may be overdriving the signal. Check the headphone cable for any visible damage. Ensure the cable is securely connected at both ends.
One earcup has no sound
Inspect the headphone cable for damage near the plug or where it connects to the earcups. Try gently wiggling the plug to see if the connection is intermittent. If the issue persists, the headphones may require service.
External noise is still audible
Ensure the earpads are forming a good seal around your ears. The closed-back design provides passive noise isolation, but it is not absolute. For environments with very high ambient noise, active noise-cancelling headphones might be more suitable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Connect the 1/8-inch stereo connector to the headphone output of your audio interface, mixer, or computer.
- For larger audio jacks (1/4-inch), screw on the included adapter onto the 1/8-inch connector.
- Ensure the headphone volume on your source device is at a moderate level before putting on the headphones.
Compatibility:
The Roland RH-200S headphones are compatible with any device featuring a standard 1/8-inch (3.5mm) or 1/4-inch (6.3mm) headphone output. This includes:
- Audio interfaces
- Mixers
- Digital pianos and synthesizers
- Computers (desktops and laptops)
- Smartphones and tablets (may require an adapter for some models)
- Portable music players
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the earpads and headband gently with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the headphones in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid coiling the cable too tightly to prevent damage.
- Cable Management: When storing or transporting, avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable. Use the strain relief at the connector as a handle rather than pulling the cable itself.
- Earpad Replacement: Over time, earpads may wear out. Replacement earpads are typically available separately from Roland or third-party manufacturers.
