Yamaha HPH-MT5 Monitor Headphones, White, (HPH-MT5W)

I’m sure there are much pricier headphones out there that may sound a teensy bit better, but I wouldn’t know, because these sound great already. I play classical piano and use these with the N1X. I get migraines easily, but these are light enough with a small enough clamping force that they are quite comfortable. The cord is easily long enough for any digital piano use, let alone using it with a PC, and the headphones also feel pretty sturdy. So far I love them and use them pretty regularly. My boyfriend also has used them and they fit him well, despite his head being larger than mine. Overall, for the cost? This is the one ;)

Out of the box I found the mids a little shouty and harsh. I put some other more oval shaped leather thinner ear pads and it was magic, clearer sweeter air vocals and more noticeable treble. In headphones I own, I currently rate these the best for the money for non-bass heads. They do not have a lot of bass but it's flat and more accurate that way. I prefer it for well recorded music. Anyways ratings of my best using the Fiio BTR5 as the DAC amp through LDAC 990kbps: 1) Sennheiser HD600 2) Yamaha HPH-MT5W (modded with pads, fat pads won't work well, you need thin close to the ear for these) 3) Fostex T50RP MK3 (heavily modded with internal damping and sound absorbing material) 4) Koss KPH30i 5) Koss Porta Pro 6) Marantz Pro MPH-2 7) Audio-Technica ATH-M40x The Fostex (heavily modded) and Yamaha (with pad mod) are a toss up for 2nd place, some tracks I prefer the Fostex and some the Yamaha. Yamaha HPH-MT5W and Koss KPH30i stock are great value audio that performs really well. None of these headphones are bass heavy but the Marantz Pro MPH-2 and ATH-M40x have more bass.

good product

Just received these Yamaha HPH-MT5s this morning. I've been listening to music through them for a few hours and I'm just amazed how well they sound especially for the price. I got them on sale for $85. They sound more like $200 headphones 🎧. The music sounds so smooth and accurate, very balanced with very low distortion even at high volume. The sound is so precise and accurate, it feels like I'm right in the recording studio with the artists. These are my first pair of Yamaha headphones 🎧 and I have purchased their speakers and amplifiers and receivers over the years and have never been dissatisfied with them. They fit well, even though they're a little snug, they are probably one of the most comfortable headphones I own. I would recommend getting them definitely when they are on sale. I think you will be amazed as much as I am when listening to music with them. It just feels fun and even relaxing to enjoy your music just as they recorded and mixed it in the studio.
