Review Summary

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.

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.

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 use this product everyday with my DTX950k drum kit.

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

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.
