Yamaha HPH-MT5W

The build quality is without compromise. Frequency response is great on all frequencies. Very comfortable sits on the head (because of soft pads), even with eyeglasses.

Good for monitoring, BUT you need time to get used to its sound, because of a special capsule design (implemented in this model, kind of "improvement for a deeper focus" but, on the other hand, the stereo image differents from the one that encounters in other headphones and considers as "typical").

And the second thing you need to know. They are very closed-type. I mean, you don't hear any outside external sound, when wearing them, especially when playing music in it.
For someone, it would be ideal: for DJs, or nights in a dormitory... :)
For vocal recordings, it's not very suitable because you don't hear yourself (only in mic) from the side at all when singing , even when screaming. So for this purpose, I recommend something less-closed.
Because if you, while recording, even use only one headphone's side (L or R) - the sound will come to a mic from the opened side, the same, like with less closed headphones. In that case, less closed headphones would be more compromising.

Mijn referentiekader is niet zo groot in het bepalen van geluidskwaliteit, voor een deskundige review verwijs ik graag naar andere bijdragen. Toch wil ik kwijt dat de geluidskwaliteit beter is dan andere koptelefoons die ik bezit (gaande van standaard oortjes van samsung tot de Jabra move se). Zelfs voor een leek als mezelf is er een duidelijk hoorbaar verschil. Naar mijn smaak is de Yamaha veel beter.
Wat draagcomfort betreft ben ik niet ontevreden. Het past perfect, maar bij langdurig gebruik vind ik de druk rond mijn oren toch een tikkeltje vervelend. Algemeen genomen, maakt het toestel een degelijke indruk. Prijs / kwaliteit is zeker in balans.

Usually the Yamaha brand does everything with high quality. In this case, I used the headphones for a year and the ear pads cracked. A year later-sorry,is this Yamaha ......... on average I used them every other day for 30 minutes. The conclusion is a good sound (price-quality), but the ear pads are made very poorly. Really from bad material. For such a price, even common cotton would be better. Company saved on this.Now they had raised the price of them. I think the price is too high.
