Sound quality

The following review was tested with a FiiO M15.

 

The YAMAHA HPH-MT8 is an excellent monitor headphone with sound density and adequate separation suitable for monitor checks, while being conscious of original sound fidelity. Its sound seems to be aimed at presenting an appropriate amount of information for checking the effects of mixing, and has a sound quality that tends to make it easy to find rough edges in sound sources. Rather than being used for long hours of composition work or for final checks after mastering, these monitor headphones are more suited for pinpoint monitoring at each step of the process.

 

Please see here for detailed reviews on sound quality.

 

Sound quality general comment
  • Original Sound Fidelity: A
  • Recommendation: S+
  • Personal preference: S+

 

These are the type of monitor headphones that increase the efficiency of mixing work and its checking, as they provide a large amount of information that can be heard at once in the frame, and localization is well represented in a slightly compact sound field.

 

The sound is completely professional monitor-like, highly practical, and allows for efficient analysis of sound sources. Its sound, however, is a bit focused and demanding, so it is considered somewhat unsuitable for prolonged listening.

General comment

Imagine a cockpit room with monitor speakers crammed 180 degrees in front of you, each one playing the sound of a musical instrument, and the YAMAHA HPH-MT8 will create just such a private monitor room environment.

 

The YAMAHA HPH-MT8 is a highly practical monitor headphone, and it is capable of capturing the entire musical picture within its frame with a little more information. The usability and fit are well thought out and will make your monitoring tasks comfortable and efficient. They are highly capable as a tool for capturing music in a short period of time, and while they may lack the quietness and breadth of the soundstage for leisurely or leisurely listening, and they may sound too hard, they are excellent as a monitoring assistant. However, as a monitoring assistant, it is excellent.
