Yamaha YH-5000SE

Purchased from an authorized Focal Dealer, April 2023. Rarely used and in Mint Condition. Included is everything in the original packaging : Original Box, Headphone Case, Headphone Stand, Extra Earpads and Headphone Cable. The Yamaha YH-5000SE is an excellent headphone with Supreme Sound Quality. In my opinion, a very special headphone for any music genre enjoyment!
 

Cutting-edge take on a classic headphone design

The YH-5000SE open-back headphones serve as the company's striking new flagship, and a nod to their personal audio roots. These are the first Yamaha 'phones in over 30 years to use Orthodynamic drivers — their take on the planar magnetic principle.

As you can imagine, Yamaha has taken major leaps when it comes to build materials, structural engineering, and acoustic design. These special headphones are crafted alongside the company's legendary grand pianos at their famed Kakegawa, Japan factory. And they're tuned to sound musical and dynamic with vivid accuracy and resolution.

 

Product highlights:

• Over-the-ear, open-back design for spacious, transparent sound
• Orthodynamic drivers use planar magnetic principles for well-balanced, accurate sound
  • inspired by classic 1970s Yamaha Orthodynamic headphone models like the HP-1 and HP-2
• Assembled in Yamaha's Kakegawa, Japan factory, where they build their legendary grand pianos

Build, construction, and driver design:

• Strong, lightweight design with magnesium frame
  • two-layer headband slides smoothly into place and distributes weight evenly
• Planar magnetic drivers tuned to deliver articulate sound with lifelike tonal balance
  • round, thin-film diaphragm starts and stops quickly for superb dynamics
  • spiral voice coil pattern offers resolving highs and mids with authoritative bass
• Large, sturdy housing with triaxial mesh material on outer grill for proper airflow and low resonance
  • Japanese-made, rolled plain Dutch weave stainless steel filter helps establish spacious soundstage
