Review Summary

Rated 3 out of 5

Great audio, but short service life

I ordered a pair of HTH-MP8 wired studio monitor headphones in mid January. In early March they suddenly quit working. I have no idea why. They've never been stressed or mistreated in any way. They've never left my smoke-free house.

Great sound, durability questionable

For its relatively affordable price tag, I really liked the quality of sound and noise isolation. It's not fatiguing to wear for long hours. However, after 15 months of studio use, it started developing a noise loop, a few months out of warranty. I could not solve it by switching wires, so it would be somewhere inside the headphones. I don't regret buying it at all, but I wish it lasted longer.

Quite a bit better than I was expecting

I'm using these cans for comparison with my main speakers which are Dali Euphonia MS5's driven by Avantone Pro CLA-400. These HPH-MT8's are being driven by a Yamaha MG10 mixer. At first listen not yet run in with zero hours on them, the HPH-MT8 sounded very good to excellent albeit somewhat tight in terms of soundstage and dynamics. After several hours over the course of about a week or two, the soundstage really opened up and the dynamics are now rather astonishing! I wasn't really prepared or even expecting them to sound as food as they do, but I am happy to say I have zero buyers remorse. I can now highly recommend them without hesitation especially because they sound almost as good as my MS5's; and that's saying a lot!

I would buy this again.

I use this product everyday with my DTX950k drum kit.

Power machine for crystal clean sound

These MT8's may not be the best for casual listening because they don't equalize the sound in any way, and minimal coloration is just perfect to ease both production and to enhance the sound understanding

Amazing sound.

Incredible sound. Much better than other headphones in this price range. I compared them to the Denon HP 1100. No competition. The yamaha are much brighter and they are just better overall. Dont believe me try them for yourself.

If you're seeking precision in sound reproduction, the HPH-MT8 Closed-Back Circumaural Over Ear Studio Monitor Headphones from Yamaha are your ideal choice. These headphones are meticulously designed to deliver high-resolution sound with accurate response, precise stereo imaging, and faithful reproduction of every nuance from mid to high-end frequencies, complemented by tight bass.

Drawing from Yamaha's decades of expertise in manufacturing professional and high-end studio equipment, every acoustic component in these headphones is crafted to perfection. The HPH-MT8 headphones are a testament to Yamaha's commitment to sonic accuracy, providing sound professionals with the perfect platform to develop their signature sound.

The MT8 headphones feature custom drivers equipped with 45mm CCAW voice coils and powerful neodymium magnets. These lightweight yet powerful drivers, made from aluminum wire coated in highly conductive copper, deliver a broad frequency range of 15 Hz-28 kHz, meeting the demanding requirements of professional studio and monitoring applications.

The design of the HPH-MT8 headphones is not just about sound. The sleek, stylish closed-back, circumaural configuration provides a comfortable fit and excellent isolation. The large ear pads, made from smooth protein-skin leather and low-resistance cushions, absorb excess vibrations and provide high levels of isolation, making them ideal for critical studio recording and live mix monitoring situations.

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.

Constructed for professional use, the HPH-MT8 headphones are built to withstand the rigors of road travel. The solid ABS housing, die-cast aluminum support-arms, and sweat-resistant headband ensure durability in any working environment.

The HPH-MT8 headphones come with a detachable straight 3-meter cable and a 1.2-meter coil cable, both equipped with a corrosion-resistant gold-plated stereo mini-plug and a gold-plated 6.3 mm stereo adaptor, making them compatible with professional audio gear.

In summary, the Yamaha HPH-MT8 Closed-Back Circumaural Over Ear Studio Monitor Headphones offer unmatched fidelity, comfort, and durability, making them a reliable choice for professionals in the music and audio industry.
