For the final check after mastering, the
HPH-MT7 headphones will satisfy all the
requirements that an audio engineer would
expect from high-quality headphones.
The similarities in the sound field, EQ, and
ambience make them comparable to the top
monitors in the market in these aspects—
even with subs.

HPH-MT7 headphones are super articulate
and deliver serious detail. The mid range is
super smooth, the top end has great reach
without feeling grainy or fatiguing, and the low
end is tight, with an ultra-deep extension.

Most headphones don’t provide as accurate
a bass and midrange response as nearfield
monitors but the HPH-M T7 headphones are
an exception. I get a much fuller, rich low and
midrange experience, and as such, can mix
without the worry that those frequencies won't
be represented properly.

The Yamaha HPH-MT7 headphones deserve
praise for their high-quality sound and
precise stereo image. They provide a broad
sound field, and reproduce the source sound
faithfully. I can use them in my studio as
professional monitor headphones, or even just
for listening to music on the way to work.

I'm impressed by the realistic sound of the
HPH-MT7 headphones. They let you hear the
sound how it truly is, and give you a better
reference to work from. If the sound from
MT7s is brilliant, you can be sure the sound is
brilliant. If the sound is terrible, then you have
to adjust your equipment—the MT7s never
lie. That is what makes me trust them.

When I first tried the new HPH-MT7
headphones, I felt a sense of comfort that I
never experienced with other headphones. Their
crystal clear audio, construction, and superb
isolation make them the kind of headphones
I've always wanted. They have a very accurate
frequency response and allow me to locate each
instrument by its location and color.

The HPH-MT220 headphones let you check
sound thoroughly, not just in the bottom end,
but across a broad range of frequencies,
and you can use them as a reference in a
PA environment, in the studio, or even when
recording at home. These are excellent
headphones that you can wear for hours
without any fatigue.
