Nagenoeg nieuwe roland rh-a30. (Kost bij bax music nieuw 207 euro). Half open-back studio kwaliteit, contructie van kunststof en aluminium bij de oorschelpen. Mooie velour earpads in smetteloze staat.
This is a buyer’s market for the RH-A30 at €129. New street pricing in Europe sits around €179, while used comps I can find cluster roughly around €105–€150 equivalent, so this asking price lands on the good side of fair and close enough to the lower half to merit attention rather than hesitation.
What makes it worthwhile is the RH-A30’s reputation as a comfortable, open-back studio monitor with a balanced, clean presentation that suits tracking, synths, and general home-studio listening. It’s a long-running model, so a like-new listing can be attractive if the pads, headband, and cable are truly clean and the seller includes the original accessories. At €129, I’d view it as a sensible buy if you want a dependable monitoring headphone without paying new-retail money.

Roland Corporation traces its roots to Osaka, Japan, where Ikutaro Kakehashi founded the company on April 18, 1972, after leaving his earlier venture, Ace Electronic Industries. With a modest capital of 33 million yen and a focus on accessible technology, Kakehashi—himself a non-musician—launched Roland's debut products that year: the TR-33, TR-55, and TR-77 rhythm machines. These early drum machines embodied his vision of miniaturized, affordable gear for amateurs and hobbyists, setting the stage for a legacy in electronic music innovation.
While renowned for synthesizers, drum machines like the iconic TR-808 and TR-909, and digital pianos, Roland's hi-fi offerings center on audio interfaces such as the Rubix and BRIDGE CAST series, alongside mixers and production tools optimized for instrument connectivity. The brand prioritizes reliability and integration for music creation, streaming, and live performance rather than traditional consumer hi-fi categories like amplifiers, speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables.
Roland commands a dominant position in the professional and prosumer electronic music market, influencing genres from techno to pop with gear trusted by amateurs and pros worldwide. It stands as a mid-to-high-tier powerhouse, far from vintage collector status, delivering battle-tested durability and cutting-edge features that prioritize functionality over boutique aesthetics.
