This is a great headphone set, one of my all-time favorites. They feel light and comfortable on the head and provide excellent sound quality across the entire frequency range. I use them for watching movies and TV and have never been disappointed in the performance of these headphones.

This new pair sounds even better than my original set of Yamaha headphones (same model) from 2004. Outstanding! They are "open-back", so not recommended while recording drums, unless you like hearing the live drums in the room. I like how you can hear the room with these headphones on. Makes communicating with other musicians easy. I use a pair of "closed-back" sennheiser hd 280 pro's for tracking drums. They block out all of the loud room noise.

I have used several sets of these headphones, from Yamaha, for the last 17 years. My use is in a recording studio where sound is everything, while monitoring and mixing. They are the headphone equivalent of Yamaha's famous NS-10 speakers, which I also utilize in my control room, above the console. They are very comfortable and lightweight, reasonably priced, and their sound is accurate. The sound delivered is uncolored, which is of primary concern while recording, mixing, etc. The only complaint I have about them, is the ear pads seem to start flaking off finish within a short time. That problem is only cosmetic, as I have started placing a shear covering over them, which is interchangeable and doesn't affect their pristine sound.

Amazing monitor headphones. I've tried Audio technica m50x , AKG 702, KRK 8400, Samson sr850 and superlux hd300 and these Yamaha's beat all of them in their clarity, the midrange is incredibly clear and focussed. Not as tonally balanced as the AKG or KRK, but definitely a clearer midrange. To my ears the low to low mids is exaggerated but in a way that still makes them really easy to mix with. The top end can get slightly congested as others have mentioned but not in an unpleasant way. My mixes on these always translate really well to small speakers all the way up to big sound systems. These are designed for mixing. Really comfortable, lightweight and so cheap. Amazing value for money!

Bought my first RH-5Ma 10+ years ago... very user-friendly but not for big ears with great sound. Mine was broken by accident but working great all this years! After 4+ months of delivery got this gem again. Thank you Atsuto Uno! Big love from russia, you made me happy.
