Yamaha Unveils Flagship Headphones for the Most Passionate Music Fans
New YH-5000SE fuses inspiration from legendary 70s headphones with Yamaha-original tech and modern innovations to deliver the ultimate True Sound listening experience.
- Orthodynamic Drivers – The original Orthodynamic driver was reimagined using the latest technology, utilizing a thin, ultra-lightweight diaphragm to achieve dynamic contrast between stillness and motion. The headphones also accurately track the most minute sonic changes and provide full low-frequency expression with rich volume and extraordinary transparency.
- Ingenious Acoustics – Employing an over-ear, open-back design, the large-capacity housing features ample internal acoustic volume for ideal operation of the ultra-thin film diaphragm. This creates a perfect airflow to prevent sound reflections inside the rear cavity and eliminates unwanted resonance at the back of the diaphragm. To control the internal air pressure, a newly developed, Japanese-made, rolled plain Dutch weave stainless steel filter was integrated into the housing.
- Uncommon Comfort – The fitted two-layer headband evenly distributes the load on the head and optimizes lateral pressure, while a stepless slider adds the fine adjustment. In addition, it features an inclined swivel mechanism that smoothly stabilizes earpad surface pressure by tilting the rotation axis of the swivel. Weighing only 11.3 ounces (courtesy of a magnesium housing), they are one of the lightest, high-end headphones in the world.
- High-End Accessories – Each YH-5000SE package comes with a full range of high-quality accessories, including a dedicated headphone stand machined out of solid aluminum, two different cable systems for balanced and unbalanced driver sources, and two different types of earpads: sheepskin leather and synthetic suede.
