Get Closer, Not Louder

Listening Care intelligently optimises audio frequencies to assist your long-term listening health.

When listening volume is low (sound pressure is low), comparable high pressure is required at both the low and high frequencies for a balanced and easily audible audio signal. Simply, this means that louder volume is necessary to hear both the low and high frequencies. However Yamaha has developed a different approach to this issue.

Nobody Knows Sound Better Than Yamaha

Drawing on enormous experience in working with professional sound design in a variety of large spaces, Yamaha developed YPAO Volume for their home theatre products. YPAO Volume has now been custom-tuned for Yamaha’s headphones and earphones, including proprietary tuning parameters that go beyond EQ adjustment. Adjustments are made, adaptive to the volume level, for fine-tuning and balance even in low-volume settings, eliminating the need to turn the music louder to hear all high and low frequencies.

Voice Assistant/Hands-Free

Use your voice not your hands. Voice assistants such as Siri and Google Assistant are available with a single touch on the headphone/earphone. Hands-free calling is possible by operating the buttons on the main unit.

Attentive To Your Surroundings

Ensure you do not miss any important external sounds with adjustable controls to personalise your total listening experience.

Listening through headphones or earphones helps to block out the world and immerse yourself in your chosen music or audio. However blocking out the world may mean blocking important noises, such as an ambulance siren, a car horn or public transport announcements. Such important sounds might be necessary for you to avoid a potential accident or ensure you arrive to your destination on time.

Yamaha’s Ambient Sound function uses the built-in microphone to capture these external sounds, presenting them in the background while listening to your chosen audio, keeping you fully aware of your surroundings.


Less Noise, More Immersive

Remove the distractions of outside noise and enjoy a smoother sound scene with active noise cancellation.

Whether commuting to work on public transport, focusing on study or work, or simply enjoying your favourite music or podcast, external noise can mask the audio signal and make for an interrupted or unpleasant listening session.

Yamaha’s Active Noise Cancelling technology captures external sounds via the built-in microphone and a signal with electrically opposite phase to the sound is added to cancel this noise, providing a more pure listening experience.

 

Line In

Line-In allows for a cabled connection to your source device, this can be utilized even when the headphone power is off.

Swivel

The swivel of the Headphones allows for easier fit inside a travel bag taking up less room, and is more comfortable when wearing around your neck.

App

Yamaha’s Headphones Controller app puts control in the palm of your hand of more than just the music. Get the best performance with future updates. It’s your music. They’re your headphones. Now it’s your sound.
