I used this to produce, record, mix down, and master teen pop rock and synthpop music in my studio here in Southern California. I was using another professional brand that I also like. I needed more headphones because I have a second recording studio. I was trying to save money, and I saw these at an affordable price. I knew Yamaha products are professional, so I purchased them. These Yamaha headphone monitors have much more clarity than the other brand that I was using. They also feel great. I could wear them for hours at a time. The mid and high range clarity are critical for the vocalist in the vocal booth too. They also have great bass. I like the straight cord, rather than the coiled one that other brands have. The coiled ones start pulling on your head/neck - not a big deal for a few minutes, but after a few hours they feel uncomfortable. Also, the coiled cords get caught on my table and other cords as I move around the studio desk. This Yamaha cord is light and straight - it's perfect. The headphones also look great! I got the all black ones, but the black and white ones are very hip - hinting to the Yamaha NS-10 monitors that I once owned, and the HS-8s that I currently use.

For budget mixing headphones, the ATH-M50's have met their match. I owned the M50s for several years. They have strong bass and treble, and very good isolation. But their mids are weak and the soundstage is two-dimensional. Not the case with these MT5s. These headphones reveal nearly everything. I've worn these for less than 2 hours and they are now my primary mixing headphone. Low sub-bass is subdued but it's still there, which is honestly fine because most commercial music will be played without subs anyway. Soundstage for a closed-back is quite remarkable, not too big but and manages to be cohesive and not disjointed. These headphones do NOT have the most crystal-clear treble ever, but they give you plenty of treble to work with in most cases. There seem to be two peaks around 7kHz and 11kHz, (just by my ear and an oscillator, not any formal measurements) but they are pretty equal in amplitude and don't distract nearly as much as some other headphones. Mids may be too much for some people, as they are not relaxed and emphasized at 2k-3k. The HPH-MT5 is supposedly inspired by the NS-10s. Like the NS-10s they are unforgiving and in-your-face. No, they're not exact copies of the NS-10s in headphone form, but you will not find anything closer to them at this price point.

What sets the HPH-MT5 Closed-Back Circumaural Over Ear Studio Monitor Headphones apart is their high-grade monitoring capabilities, delivering a balanced and faithful sound that mirrors the original source. Ideal for studio use, home music production, or personal listening, these headphones offer exceptional portability with a folding arm design and lightweight hardware, weighing in at just 250g.
These headphones are a product of Yamaha's legacy, a brand synonymous with legendary accuracy in sound reproduction. From the iconic NS-10M studio monitor speakers to the MSP and HS Series, Yamaha has consistently delivered precision sound that allows sound professionals to develop their unique signature sound. The MT Series studio monitor headphones continue this tradition, meeting the demanding requirements of today's professional studio and monitoring applications.
The HPH-MT5 headphones are not only sturdy and stylish but also offer unmatched fidelity. They are designed to withstand the rigors of the road, providing a level of comfort that is essential during long hours in a critical listening environment.
Equipped with custom drivers, these headphones feature CCAW voice coils and powerful neodymium magnets. The drivers, made from lightweight aluminum wire coated in highly conductive copper, offer a wide frequency response of 20 Hz-20 kHz. This delivers a flat and high-resolution sound that meets the demands of professional monitoring.
Every acoustic component in the MT5 headphones, from the arms to the ear cups, has been designed to eliminate extraneous resonance, delivering the most accurate sound possible. These headphones offer superb comfort and isolation, specifically designed to meet the high standards of professional users.
The sleek, stylish design of the MT5 headphones features a closed-back, circumaural configuration that provides a comfortable fit and excellent isolation. The large ear pads, made from smooth synthetic leather and low-resistance cushions, absorb excess vibrations, providing stress-free wearability and high levels of isolation. This makes them ideal for studio recording and live mix monitoring.
The three-dimensional arm pivot construction and highly adjustable slider length allow the ear pads to fit the shape of the wearer's head perfectly, reducing fatigue during extended use. The headphones also feature moveable earcups for single-ear monitoring when required.
Built for professional use, the MT5 headphones are durable and lightweight, with a simple construction designed to withstand the rigors of road travel. The housing, support-arms, and headband have all been developed with durability and light weight in mind, further enhanced by the portability of the folding arm.
The MT5 headphones also feature a detachable straight 3-meter cable, equipped with a corrosion-resistant gold-plated stereo mini-plug and a gold-plated 6.3 mm stereo adaptor. This design ensures users can move freely without being hindered by the cable, making these headphones a flexible monitoring solution for the professional user.
