Listening Care

When listening volume is low (sound pressure is low), comparable high pressure is required at both the low and high frequencies for a balanced and easily audible audio signal. Simply, this means that louder volume is necessary to hear both the low and high frequencies. However Yamaha has developed a different approach to this issue.

Drawing on enormous experience in working with professional sound design in a variety of large spaces, Yamaha developed YPAO Volume for their home theater products. YPAO Volume has now been custom-tuned for Yamaha’s headphones and earphones, including proprietary tuning parameters that go beyond EQ adjustment. Adjustments are made, adaptive to the volume level, for fine-tuning and balance even in low volume settings, eliminating the need to turn the music louder to hear all high and low frequencies.

Active Noise Cancelling

Whether commuting to work on public transport, focusing on study or work, or simply enjoying your favourite music or podcast, external noise can mask the audio signal and make for an interrupted or unpleasant listening session.

Yamaha’s Active Noise Cancelling technology captures external sounds via the built-in microphone and a signal with electrically opposite phase to the sound is added to cancel this noise, providing a more pure listening experience.

App

Yamaha’s Headphones Controller app puts control in the palm of your hand of more than just the music. It’s your music. They’re your headphones. Now it’s your sound.

Ambient Sound

Listening through headphones or earphones helps to block out the world and immerse yourself in your chosen music or audio. However blocking out the world may mean blocking important noises, such as an ambulance siren, a car horn or public transport announcements. Such important sounds might be necessary for you to avoid a potential accident or ensure you arrive to your destination on time.

Yamaha’s Ambient Sound function uses the built-in microphone to capture these external sounds, presenting them in the background while listening to your chosen audio, keeping you fully aware of your surroundings.

Swivel Folding

Folding of the Yamaha YH-E700A headphones makes for even easier portability reducing the headphone size significantly making them the perfect travel partner.

Line In

When wireless listening isn’t important, using the line-in allows you to use the DAC of your Hi-Res audio device for better sound, or simply minimizes additional battery usage when using wireless connectivity.
