THE COMFORT IN BECOMING
Immerse yourself deep in your own world of sound and music. We've crafted a lightweight set of headphones that makes you forget you're even wearing them. They're simply just natural and comfortable.
SLIM, LIGHT AND COMFORTABLE
LIGHTWEIGHT MAGNESIUM BODY
The housing frame is comprised of magnesium, which has the highest vibration-damping rate among practical metals. It is lightweight with outstanding rigidity. The result is a lightweight body of 11.3 ounces (320 grams), making it comfortable and unobtrusive even when listening over extended periods of time.
TWO-LAYERS HEADBAND AND SMOOTH STEPLESS SLIDER
The arm of the headband is made of stainless steel and utilizes lateral pressure that even further reduces burden on the ears. This provides maximum comfort during prolonged use. The comfortably thick head pad utilizes three-dimensional sewing and fits flexibly on the head while smoothly dispersing surface pressure. In addition, the stepless slider allows you to finely adjust the band for custom comfort.
SNUG FIT. INCLINED SWIVEL MECHANISM
To eliminate bias in localization from air leakage and ensure ample volume in the low range, it is crucial that the headphone housing fits snugly into the space behind the ear. The YH-5000SE smoothly stabilizes surface pressure by tilting the rotation axis of the swivel and provides a degree of vertical mobility. The snug and comfortable fit to the ears and head delivers an incredible listening experience.
QUALITY THAT CREATES THE SATISFACTION OF OWNING AND USING
We have brought together all the skills and aesthetic expertise of our craftsmanship to build these headphones. No compromises were made. Every detail was passionately attended to. The YH-5000SE is the Yamaha flagship, and will provide years of proud ownership.
EXCEPTIONAL DESIGN AND TEXTURE, COMBINED
FUNCTIONAL BEAUTY
Featuring a pure, dignified design where all non-essential aspects have been designed out, these headphones echo the dynamism and vibrant exuberance of the "life" found in various music. We employed a triaxial mesh material used in aerospace applications to protect the open-back housing, giving it not only a high-quality texture, but a beautiful design as well.
HANDMADE BY SKILLED CRAFTSMEN
SPECIAL FACTORY FOR FLAGSHIP MODELS
From the manufacturing of the driver to the careful completion of the entire assembly, the production of the YH-5000SE requires extremely high technical capabilities and precision. For this reason, we chose to produce this exclusive model at our Kakegawa factory, which handles our flagship models of grand pianos and audio components. Subject to the strictest quality control measures, each unit is carefully assembled by skilled craftsmen. Only those that have passed rigorous inspections are finally shipped.
