Yamaha delivers the new YH-5000SE headphones that elevate sound through a symphonic headset with ultra-lightweight elements. It is made from magnesium, which allows it to be a featherweight of only 11.5 ounces, which is perfect for all-day. Additionally, to provide more comfort, the weight is distributed evenly over the layered headband to alleviate any fatigue all day of wearers.
The ear cups come in two options to create an ultimate on-ear experience -- this includes either suede or sheepskin. Additional features include the signature Orthodynamic drivers that is the solution to planar magnetic drivers and due to the lightweight sensibilities, it dramatically reduces the sound distortion through the driver's diaphragm. Finally, the wired on-eats have OFC cables that can be detached.
