5.0 out of 5 stars Studio Standard..., August 7, 2009

This review is from: Yamaha RH5MA Monitor Headphones (Wireless Phone Accessory)

As a musician who is also a recording engineer, I'd like to say that these headphones are the best I've used at any price when it comes to tracking instruments. When I'm playing an instrument, and I need to hear the other instruments that have already been recorded, I need headphones that have as flat a response as possible. Today's consumer headphones boost the bass frequencies to the point of absurdity. Not these RH5MAs. When I'm tracking, I need accuracy---not fantasy. These Yamahas do the job. Over the past twenty years or more, I've tried nearly every headphone available. I always come back to these. Now, no headphones are good for the mixdown of a song, only loudspeakers work for that job. Yamaha excels there, too. I first experienced the legendary Yamaha NS-10's in a recording studio in Los Angeles in about 1980. They've been the playback loudspeaker standard ever since. These Yamaha RH5's are analogous to the NS-10's in that they are uncolored, and have a nice, flat response. I've had them all: $600.00 Beyers, you name it. It looks like these Yamahas are the best headphones for me at any price. You'll notice that with any Yamaha product that the specs and performance are always top-notch. I literally need these headphones to record properly, and coming from me, that's a big compliment!

I was looking for a flat-response, high-quality monitor headphone set. In this product, I found one that is comfortable, hi fidelity, efficient (excellent volume preservation), and very reasonably priced. It allows you to hear the music while also letting in some ambient sound, which matches my need for playing an instrument while listening, but not so much that you'd be distracted.

I just got these in the mail today. I'm impressed by the solid quality of the headphones. The standard jack will fit into your ipod or other mp3 player. It does come with an adapter jack that will fit into professional equipment, so I'm definitely sold on that aspect. The cord is thick and sturdy, not thin like cheap $10 headphones. There is a lot of bass that comes into these headphones... you'd be very surprised at how much bass a small headphone like this one can deliver. I'm no "sound" professional, but the highs, lows, and mids sound-wise are all very good. As for comfort, the headphones adjust very easily and fit comfortably. This is my first pair of good quality headphones and I was afraid that my ears would get all sweaty. They do get a little warm, but that's expected from any headphone. But I will say that they are very comfortable, and they look good as well. I don't think the picture on amazon does these any justice :-).
