Yamaha HPH-MT5 Headphones

The Yamaha HPH-MT5 is a professional-grade studio monitor headphone model, positioned significantly higher than the HPH-50 and HPH-100 in terms of build quality, performance, and features tailored for critical audio work. They are designed to deliver a flat, high-resolution sound for studio tracking, mixing, and music production.

 Key Features

• Design: Circumaural (Over-Ear), Closed-Back design. This seals around the ears for excellent passive sound isolation, making them ideal for recording (preventing "bleed" into microphones) and live mixing.

• Drivers: Features custom-designed 40mm drivers with CCAW (Copper-Clad Aluminum Wire) voice coils, engineered to deliver a balanced and high-resolution sound with flat response characteristics for accurate monitoring.

• Durability and Portability: Features thick, durable ABS housing and a folding arm structure for compact storage and reliable use in demanding professional environments or while traveling.

• Comfort: Equipped with smooth synthetic leather earpads and a three-dimensional arm pivot construction designed to perfectly fit the shape of the wearer's head, alleviating fatigue during extended sessions.

• Monitoring Flexibility: The earcups are moveable and swivel to allow for convenient single-ear monitoring.
