Yamaha YH-E700A

Exceptional Audio Quality - ANC Average

If you're looking for a pair of headphones that are comfortable enough to wear all day, and you just want headphones that sound great, then give these a go. Pros: Battery life - 10/10 its as good as they claim i charge these once per week at work Audio Quality : 9/10 Great bassresponse without getting muddy or boomy, a nice natural spread right into the limits of my hearing, the listening care really helps to make it enjoyable to listen to for extended periods. Case: 9/10 great hardshell case with a durable zipper The Okay: Build Quality: 7/10 the hinges and construction of the actual heaphones is great, however cheaper materials on the headband cushion and p/leather earmuffs let down what could have been a not only beautiful but long lasing pair of heaphones The Bad: Noise Cancelling - this is no where near class leading, and for the price point i know Yamaha added it just to say it has it, but passive noise canelling does almost as much as the Active, and when enabled

Best wireless ANC headphones for sound quality

I have owned this pair of cans for roughly 2 months now, and in comparison to the Sony XM3, Sennheiser PXC 550, Beats studio 3 and Jabra Elite, while albeit the YH-E700’s are undoubtedly larger and heavier, their sound signature is uncompromisingly beautiful across all stages, the the bass is present, strong and you can even feel it’s vibrations which do not drown out the mids, highs or lows. Everything is crisp, clear, and very, very close to perfect.

Bass chambers.

Ok, first off, the bass is strong in this one. You can almost feel it. The second good news is that all the other frequencies are really nice too. Instrument separation, 3d imaging and soundstage is excellent. These are like a concert / club / festival / cinema on your head, the sound is that powerful. I love how these look also, but on the head they look a bit big. Noise cancelling is below the Sony or Bose offerings, I would probably not get these if NC is a high priority. The NC mostly reduces the low end rumble of your surroundings. Finally, the reason why I'm only giving these 4 stars is because they use pleather. Pleather is awful, if you happen to fall in love with these (like I have), the pleather will one day deteriorate and you will be depending on Yamaha or a third party selling the earpads/headband, this will be a hassle and an extra cost. At this price point we need to be using leather.
