Description

Accurate monitoring starts with hearing every detail exactly as it was recorded. Inspired by the same design philosophy behind Yamaha's legendary NS-10M studio monitors, the Yamaha HPH-MT8 studio monitor headphones deliver high-resolution sound, precise stereo imaging and faithful audio reproduction for recording, mixing and critical listening. Custom 45 mm drivers, a closed-back circumaural design and premium acoustic components provide the clarity, isolation and long-wearing comfort engineers, producers and musicians need whether working in the studio, on location or on the road.

High-Resolution Drivers Deliver Faithful Sound

Custom 45 mm dynamic drivers with CCAW voice coils and neodymium magnets reproduce audio across an extended 15Hz–28kHz frequency range with accurate response and precise stereo imaging. Yamaha engineered every acoustic component to minimize unwanted resonance, helping vocals, instruments and complex mixes remain faithful to the source during recording, editing and production. The closed-back circumaural design also provides excellent passive isolation, allowing confident monitoring in studio and live production environments.

Premium Comfort for Extended Sessions

Large protein-skin leather ear cushions and low-resistance padding provide lasting comfort while maintaining excellent passive isolation for critical listening. A three-dimensional arm pivot and adjustable headband conform naturally to different head shapes, helping reduce fatigue during long recording, editing and mixing sessions. Swiveling earcups also support convenient single-ear monitoring, making the HPH-MT8 well suited for studio tracking, live sound and broadcast applications.

Built for Professional Studio and Mobile Work

Durable ABS earcups, rigid die-cast aluminum support arms and a folding design help the HPH-MT8 withstand the demands of everyday studio work and frequent travel. Both a 9.8' straight cable and a 3.9' coiled cable are included, each terminating in a 1/8" connector with a threaded 1/4" gold-plated adapter for compatibility with professional audio equipment. A padded carrying bag completes a monitoring package designed to deliver accurate sound reproduction, dependable durability and lasting comfort wherever your work takes you.

    We use these with our Alesis drum set, for quiet practice sessions. They are really comfortable & play sound well. Thy are a little heavy if you're worried about that at all. We did buy an adapter for the end if you want to plug it into your amp or other things. The set hasn't let us down. #sweepstakes

    I read audioboOks and listen to music. These phones are quite flat, easy on the ears, and a great buy for the price.

    I went through a lot of headphones to get to these, and I'm so glad that I never settled because these are the ones for me! My search began when I hadn't bought a new pair of cans for years, and my old Audio-Technicas finally gave out. I started with the ATH-M50s, an updated model of the ones I had, and didn't like them - felt tight and my ears felt like they were in a well - something changed over the years I guess. Then tried the Beyerdynamic DT 770s which were highly recommended, sounded way bright to my ears and felt tight, heavy, bulky and uncomfortable. I started researching headphones quite a bit and what I was seeing was a bunch of companies focused on reinventing the look of the headphones, and not so much on the quality and comfort of them. For tracking music, I don't need some space-age looking gear with a hundred doo-hickeys tacked on all over - I just want a simple pair of black cans that are as small and lightweight as possible. Once I saw these Yamahas I knew I found something I might be able to wrap my head around (or wrap around my head :). Pros: They are lightweight, minimally designed, and comfortable to wear. They sound great - not hyped at all to my ears, no high end sheen, about as honest of a playback as you can get They are Yamahas! And anyone who knows Yamaha gear knows that they build to the highest quality at any given price point - you get every dollar you spend with Yamaha equipment. Cons: The cord comes wrapped up in very small bunches as expected, but I find that it is hard to retrain the cord to go straight - wish they would roll it in a circle or something so it wouldn't be prone to crunching up. Over long periods of time they can get a little uncomfortable, maybe could be a tad less tight and a tad lighter, but that may not be possible and eveyone's head is shaped different, so it's something I can live with - definitely the most comfortable pair of cans I've had. Overall: Highly recommend these over more recommended brands
