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.

Yamaha is about this business. What

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.
