With typical headphones, low-volume listening goes hand-in-hand with a pronounced reduction of certain frequency ranges, resulting in listeners cranking up the volume to levels that may affect long-term hearing health.

Listening Care solves for this, encouraging lower-volume listening by intelligently adjusting sound frequencies to maintain the full-range sound, allowing you to hear every note and not miss a beat. Select models feature enhanced functionality, intelligently analyzing music and background noise in real time to automatically and adaptively achieve the best balance at a listener’s selected volume setting.

Whether commuting, traveling or simply focusing on study or work, external noise can mask the audio signal and make for an unpleasant listening session. Yamaha Active Noise-Cancelling technology uses microphones to analyze and remove external noise, providing a more pure listening experience.

Listening through headphones or earphones helps to block out the world and immerse yourself in your music or audio. However, blocking out the world may also mean blocking out important noises, such as an ambulance siren, car horn or public transit announcement. Such important sounds may be necessary for you to avoid a potential accident or ensure you arrive at your destination on time.

The Ambient Sound mode uses built-in microphones to capture external sounds, presenting them in the background of your audio content, keeping you fully aware of your surroundings.
