RH5MA Monitor Headphones

I was a professional recording engineer for many years and used these for remote tracking sessions because of the detail they provide. There is a bit of high end boost that helps with that clarity. Bass is good, accurate but not over powering. They are comfortable and are "on ear" instead of "over ear" allowing for some room ambience. I have used this exact model for more than 20 years so no bluetooth or mics or any of that junk. Just a very flexible, good length analog cable. They are no longer a part of the US Yamaha line but are still made in Japan for that market. Made in Japan shows quality, period. There are getting hard to find and going up in price. If you want them, I would not wait too long because they may disappear.

Yes, I do have much more expensive cans that sound better but these are probably the best inexpensive On-ear light weight cans. I have others I prefer more for listening to music but they wouldn't work as well for mixing tracks as the reason I prefer the others is due to the resulting sound which of course has colored the sound so they would be bad to mix with. - If I haven't been listening on anything else and then put these On and wear them for a few minutes my hearing adjusts to their level and spectrum and they sound quite nice. Being so light they are easy to wear for extended periods of time. Great for listening to Movies and music (even some Studio work as monitors - just need to validate the final mix with something else). This is my 3rd pair. The ear pad covers breakdown and wear-off with time and the headband broke after a number years on one pair. They are worth chasing down and glad these showed-up on Amazon after being gone for some time. There may be price-performance equivalents out there but I haven't done the search as these have proven their worth over many years. I guess I'll search-out replacements when I can't get these anymore.

First of all, these are headphones, not an A-B Box. Not sure why that is in the description. This is my third pair of Yamaha RH5MA. I ruined the first pair accidentally and gave my second pair to my son. These are fantastic sounding reference headphones that are perfectly suited for daily listening if you don't mind being tethered to a long cord. BTW, all three of the RMH5A's I've owned across 15 years were consistently excellent quality phones with the same predictable, high quality sound. These don't have the popular super bass sound like Beats. RMH5A are studio reference quality, which I need for mixing my own music. I also prefer listening to any music the way it was intended to sound when it was recorded. Not sure if these are still in production. Lucky to have found them fresh and brand new in the box. I highly recommend these phones.

I had a pair of these many years ago, and they are still great headphones! Not studio reference type, they color the bass up a bit, but great for practicing or listening to other music. Glad I could find them. I might just buy another pair for backup.

Not over the ear, but on the ear. Performance only good, expected better for price and documentation. Sadly, my $20 Philips slightly out performs it, but it's on the ear as well, and both are only comfortable for only 15-20 minutes. Mids wash out towards the high end, its highs not quite natural and seem dimmed. Pain to have to play with equalizer. Lows sound very good, certainly not over powering like a lot of phones in it's price range. However it loses two stars for being on the ear, sound quality should lose just one star, but they really don't deserve to be a 2 star headphone, so I'm calling it a wash with very good, clear lows canceling out the slightly weak lows.

I am not an audiophile, but would definitely consider myself someone who appreciates quality sound. I was looking for the best headphones I could get for under $70 that were non bluetooth and would be lightweight and comfortable. I started looking at Yamaha due to their decent reputation and these RH5Ma definitely deliver in that regard. They are very lightweight, and have a surprisingly full sound considering the size and price. I would definitely recommend these to anyone on a budget who wants a decent pair of headphones! My only complaint so far is that the wire is ridiculously long, but i'm sure some people will consider that a positive thing.

The sound quality is really bad. Especially compared with the exactly the same model I had prehiously.

I have a pair of these from about the year 2000. They are GREAT monitoring Headphones! These newer ones are very similar (look, Sound, clarity). But they are lacking in the Bass (the low end), when compared to the originals (that were sold in the US). The Sound IS Great and Very clear on these. (Just that if you are hoping that they replicate the low end and "Bass", in the SAME WAY, that the originals do, then these do not). The Bass on these is completely fine and Good (just that I was A / B - ing them) and preferred the originals. (If you don't care about that very specific aspect, and are fine with regular good/solid Bass, then these ARE Great)! ps - I would choose the "Amazon Box/Packaging" option (as if you do not, they shipped directly in the retail box itself).

This is a must have headphones for audiophile. 20 to 20 on The frequency. The highs are really sharp. The headphones bring in a good lively sound. The quality is top notch, it is smaller comparing to the the regular industrial standard headphones. Built with fine leather and plastic. Finally its made in japan.
