GET IMMERSED IN THE MOVIE ANYTIME, ANYWHERE

Sound is of crucial importance in movies—enhancing realism, generating excitement, deepening the emotion. Yamaha's YH-L500A Home Theater Headphones use our unique sound field creation and acoustic technology to unleash all the details of the sound contained in the work, fully reproducing a three-dimensional, realistic sound field that transcends the realm of conventional headphones. Wear them anywhere in your house, at any time, and experience a deep sense of immersion as if you were in the middle of the movie, as you are drawn into the true world of the story.

THREE-DIMENSIONAL SOUND AT A BUTTON-TOUCH

Built into the headset are two Sound Field modes: CINEMA for movies, and MUSIC for music videos. With the simple press of a button, the optimized sound field is activated, expanding the immersion and realism of the content. Moreover, unlike conventional spatial audio reproduction, this function creates multi-channel sound regardless of the audio format or playback device, letting you instantly enjoy realistic and natural sound coming from the video, even though listening on headphones.

THE CINEMA MODE:

･ Enhances the spatial relationship of individual sounds, making each naturally and easily distinguishable.

･ Separates the dialogue, sound effects, and background music, making each easier to hear.

･ Reproduces sound effects with greater sonic power and dynamism.

This provides movie enjoyment with exceptionally immersive sound as if you were watching it in a movie theater.

THE MUSIC MODE:

･ Creates a spacious sound field with a sense of openness and realistic reverberation.

･ Delineates separate elements such as the vocals, instruments, and the ambience of the audience, with clear expression.

This lets you immerse yourself in concert videos and musicals as if you were actually there.

Through our manufacture of musical instruments and professional recording equipment, Yamaha intimately knows the thoughts that artists and producers put into their music and sound.

FATIGUE-FREE COMFORT—FOR WATCHING FULL MOVIES

Through repeated, rigorous tests and verification in wearability, we have meticulously designed not only the material and shape of the earpads, but also made the main body light in weight (just 265 grams) and optimized the side pressure of the headband, to create a snug, comfortable fit for everyone. Watch movies for a long time without feeling fatigued, and immerse yourself in the cinematic world to your heart's content, right until the ending credits.

SEAMLESS CONNECTION FREES UP YOUR ENJOYMENT

Since the YH-L500A supports Bluetooth® multi-point connection, you can simultaneously connect it to two devices including tablets, smartphones, Bluetooth®-compatible TVs, and PCs. This gives you enormous freedom and a seamless entertainment experience, letting you continue enjoying a movie you were watching on your living room TV, and switch it to a tablet in your bedroom, for example.
