YH-5000SE flagship headphones

SOUND IS ALL ABOUT BEING TRUE
Yamaha's flagship YH-5000SE headphones combine advanced technologies to create a sound of tremendous quality. This is the very essence of Yamaha’s aspirations, to pursue a sound that is always true and so, they’ve also brought the finest materials, exemplified by their unique and historic ORTHODYNAMIC™ driver which has undergone even further evolution over time.

TRUE SOUND
Yamaha’s achievements and broad expertise as a brand are unparalleled in the world. We are extensively involved with all-things music-from the moment the artist creates a sound to the moment it reaches the listener’s ears-and we are intimately aware of even the thoughts that artists put into their music.

YAMAHA’S UNIQUE ORTHODYNAMIC™ DRIVER
Yamaha's original ORTHODYNAMIC™ headphones captivated audiophiles in the 1970s, beginning with the famed HP-1. Taking advantage of the latest technology, we’ve redesigned this driver, which encompasses a thin film diaphragm with metal coil patterning.

FULL-FREQUENCY RANGE FROM LARGE HOUSING

The large housing that comfortably envelops the ear has ample internal acoustic volume. It features an open-back design for creating ideal airflow, thereby reducing adverse effects on the thin film diaphragm, and preventing sound reflections inside the rear cavity. This helps with eliminating undesirable resonance.

LIGHTWEIGHT MAGNESIUM BODY
The housing frame is comprised of magnesium, which has the highest vibration-damping rate among practical metals. It is both lightweight and has outstanding rigidity. The result is a lightweight body of 320 grams, making it comfortable and unobtrusive even when listening over extended periods of time.

SNUG FIT. INCLINED SWIVEL MECHANISM
It is crucial that the housing fits snugly into the space behind the ear in order to eliminate bias in localization due to air leakage and compensate for the lack of volume in the low range. The YH-5000SE smoothly stabilizes surface pressure by tilting the rotation axis of the swivel and providing a degree of vertical mobility.
