Verdict

The Yamaha YH-E700A is a wireless over-ear headset featuring 40mm dynamic drivers and a broad frequency response of 8 Hz – 40 kHz. It is equipped with Advanced ANC, 'Listening Optimizer' technology that adapts sound to the user's ear every 20 seconds, and 'Listening Care' for full-range audio at lower volumes. The headphones offer up to 35 hours of battery life with ANC on, Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX Adaptive support, and Hi-Res audio capability via a wired connection. Main pros include a neutral, studio-monitor-style sound signature, excellent wireless range, and a comfortable, sturdy build. However, cons include a somewhat bulky and 'clunky' physical design, ANC performance that falls behind top competitors, and a noticeable change in sound signature when switching between ANC modes.
