YAMAHA YH-5M pictorial - "Form follows function"

I think AKG is closer to this rather than Grado or Audiotechnica, but still there is a gap. Could be planars are different.

Can you compare the sound of the YH-5M to some AKG models??

Thank you for the comment.
Yes, that is one of reason I choose his quote.
In fact, FL Wright is the farther of Japan modern architect. A part of his Imperial Hotel is still preserved as a heritage.
As a weekend photographer, I like modern architect and I like his works.
When I went to Chicago, I visited his remaing studio at Oak Park. That was a nice experience

(with an mp3-player? does that work and does it sound ok?)



This is not mainly intended for use in outdoor, cable is 8 feet long and terminated with 1/4 plug.
But it's possible, I will try but I need some courage

Is the plug on the YH5M not like the YHD series? The 1/8th plug fits inside the 1/4" - it looks like a single plug but if you hold the rubber part at the back and pull, it separates. The plug for the YHD is metal while all the other yamaha plugs I have come across ( YH1000 all the way through the YH3 ) are a single moulded plastic.

Wear them proudly

I will take a picture of the YHD2 plug and post it - I just presumed it was a standard for the more "portable looking" - their impedance is not conducive to direct drive from a portable device and after damping, their efficiency is even less so. The low impedance and high efficiency of the YH5M is perfect IMHO ..dB

Its big brother YAMAHA HP-1 is very hard to drive as the impedance is fairly high while the efficiency is low. However YH-5M is much easier to drive.

It's obvious at the first look.


Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.

This is such a beautiful post! A masterpiece, really, truly doing these headphones the justice they deserve.

But, i do have one relatively minor point that I feel is worth mentioning. I know English doesn't do a good job making these distinctions, but headphones are feminine, not masculine. Think of it this way: how else could so many straight dudes be so obsessed with them? In love with them, in many cases! The same reasoning applies to cars as well :wink:
