INTELLIGENT YAMAHA HEADPHONES

Yamaha’s newest wireless headphones are claimed to intelligently adapt and respond to individual isteners and their environment. “As the size and shape of each person’s ears and head are uniquely different, as are the acoustics and surroundings they find themselves in each day, these new headphones allow listeners to enjoy the authentic ‘True Sound’ music experience through proprietary adaptive technologies wherever they go,” says Boyd Gill of Yamaha Music Australia.

There are eight new models in all, ranging from wireless earbuds including true wireless, to active noise cancelling over-ears. “The hero models in the new line-up feature a ‘listening optimiser’ that works in real time to make ongoing measurements and subtly adjust the sound if the fit or wearing conditions happen to change to ensure the best sound,” said Gill.

The top-of-the-line Yamaha YH-E700A wireless noise-cancelling headphones use an advanced active noise cancelling technology developed at Yamaha that it says ‘analyses and removes background noise while keeping the music signal pure and untouched’. And for situations where a listener wants to stay aware of their surroundings or conduct a conversation, these and other noise-cancelling models include an Ambient Sound mode to permit this.

All models in the new range offer a circuit Yamaha calls ‘Listening Care’ which works rather like the adaptive loudness control on some Yamaha amplifiers, so that bass is boosted when listening at low volume levels and reduced when listening at high volume levels, which improves sound balance and reduces the likelihood of hearing damage. Some models have a more advanced version of this circuit which analyses both the music and the background noise in real time to automatically achieve the optimum tonal balance at a listener’s selected volume setting. “By adapting to each person and his or her surroundings, our headphones allow listeners to stay true to themselves and truly enjoy the music that shapes them,” said Yoshi Tsugawa, Senior Manager at Yamaha Japan. “Now, with our new line of headphones, from the moment you wake up and head out for the day, to when you return home and relax with your favourite shows at night, Yamaha is there for you with unparalleled audio every step of the way.”

All the new Yamaha models feature app control in addition to physical touch controls to make phone calls, activate your favourite voice assistant and control your music with easy-to-find buttons. Each model comes with a carrying case and charging cables.
