HPH-MT5 Monitor Headphones, Black

Great headphones for the recording studio! Excellent sound and build quality.

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.

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 ;)

The Yamaha HPH-MT5 headphones have impressed me with their sound quality! They deliver crisp, balanced audio that's perfect for music production, mixing, or just enjoying your favorite tunes. The closed-back design provides excellent noise isolation, allowing you to focus on your audio without distractions. What I Liked: Excellent Sound Quality: The audio is clear, well-balanced, and perfect for critical listening. Noise Isolation: The closed-back design effectively blocks out external noise. Comfort: The headphones are comfortable to wear for extended periods, thanks to the lightweight design and plush ear cups. A Note on Durability: While the sound quality is fantastic, I did have some concerns about the overall build quality. The headphones feel a bit lightweight and potentially susceptible to damage if mishandled. Thankfully, I purchased an extended warranty for peace of mind. Overall: Despite the slight concern about build quality, the HPH-MT5 headphones offer exceptional sound and noise isolation at a reasonable price point. For those who prioritize audio fidelity and comfort, these are a great option. However, if you require a particularly rugged pair of headphones for heavy-duty use, you might want to consider a sturdier model. Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

I have had these for over a month. They are a great set of headphones. Sound is great, crisp, clear and the right amount of bass without being muddy and distorted and bright high end. They are also comfortable and snug without trying to cave in my skull. I would buy these again without hesitation.

I’ve bought these headphones probably three times in the last four years twice for myself and one as a gift because of how great they are. The qualities of these headphones are elite. Comfortable earpieces. Noticeable noise cancellation. And when I’m recording vocals the sound quality is always so crisp. These headphones are very durable. I would like to see a blue tooth version of these in the future. If they ever do come out with a Bluetooth version I would love to review them. Big found a Yamaha headphones and these right here are worth every penny . Compared to other brands the price for these Yamaha headphones are actually very good and economical for the quality because the quality is elite. Highly recommended I give these headphones five out of five stars.

Happy with this purchase. Sound quality is good.

Really great sounding headphones for MONITORING, not casually listening to music. These are made for engineering in a DAW. So don't order and give them a bad review because you tried to use them for pleasure listening and they didn't sound good to you.

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.

Great Headphones, fast delivery, perfect transaction. Highly recommended.

good product

Truly an amazing experience. I think lot of sound engineers , musicians , arrangers underestimated the YAMAHA headphones as they don't have that much of varieties . But according to my opinion they are very good for home recordings/Mixing compared to other expensive studio monitoring headphones. They do have little bit mids & highs strong than low end but not that bad also which can ruin your balance. Definitely recommend for those who don't want to spend extra money but looking for decent product.

the pads are way to short I got the Brainwavz Angled Memory Foam Earpads way better fit and slightly more bass they do sound close back and lack that nice air quality but otherwise are good and flat in sound I did burn them in with white noise to flex to them a bit before and after are almost the same unlike others so it seems like yamaha has something nice and professorial here
