Yamaha YH-E700A Wireless Noise-Cancelling Over-Ear Headphones

I was sent this product to review free from BzzAgent and Yamaha. Firstly, my biggest complaint about mowing my lawn is not being able to use my earbuds. They just aren't loud enough. It's awful. These little beauties were just the thing to fix my yard work blues. Max volume was too much, even with the mower going. It was a breath of fresh air for my ears.

Next, as far as comfort is concerned, the soft cones made for wearing hours on end without discomfort or fatigue of my head. I frequently get headaches when wearing buds or headphones for too long but these were the most comfortable ones I've ever worn.

Lastly they were easy to charge, and the storage case they came in was perfect for throwing in my suitcase. Paired very easily.

These headphones are worth every penny. Hands down.

As a someone who is fairly new to working from home, I tend to find distractions everywhere. I love keeping these on with the noise cancellation enabled to help improve my focus. The sound quality is also fantastic + love the long battery life for traveling.

For the last year or so I've been using Apple AirPods exclusively. They are great headphones, produce a wide range of sounds, and have good noise cancelling. And for a pair of headphones that fit in your pocket, they are a good choice.

But, when noise cancelling is critical (e.g., on an airplane, or trying to work in a public space or in a house full of people or kids), there is no comparison. The YH-E700A stands completely alone. I used the YH-E700As in a packed Starbucks, over Thanksgiving in a house full of people, and most recently, on an airplane. These are the first headphones I've ever used where the outside world disappeared. People having a conversation next to me: nothing. That pervasive sound of airplane engines, air flow, and mechanical sounds: silence.

Music sounds tremendous. Apple Music has begun offering lossless audio. It sounded like I was in the recording studio. There is a bit of a difference with the Apple AirPods. The AirPods use a type of technology when you turn your head, it sounds like you have actually moved your ears in a 3D environment, I did not get that with the YH-E700A. But when comparing the actual sound, the YH-E700A wins. The lows are deep and full, and the highs are separate, well-defined, and crisp. Not twangy at all. All I can say is the lossless audio on the YH-E700As is amazing and makes these headphones 100% worth it.

I also listened to several podcasts which are mainly spoken word. I thought that this is where the noise cancelling would falter. Not so. Even with podcasts the noise cancelling worked just as well. So it is not just outside noise being covered up by loud music, there is actual technology at work.

I definitely recommend the YH-E700A if you're looking for something above and beyond AirPods or ear buds. These are a step above. They come with a convenient carrying case and fold up so they can be easily carried in a laptop bag or carry on. They also came with an adapter that plugs in an airplane's sound jack, which worked out great on the plane.

My recommendation is that, if you have Apple Music with access to lossless audio, or access to high quality music from another source, these headphones are a buy. If you need noise cancelling that really works and will cause the outside world to fade away, these are a buy.

I really liked this headphone. It felt well build and the sound quality was really good for normal day to day listening. I used it for my meeting and to listen to music and podcast and it works really good for that purpose. And the noise cancellation is a great plus. Love it !!

Perfect set of travel-friendly noise-cancelling headphones without all the fuss as some sets offer, which is a good thing! Overelaborate headphones are annoying but with the YH-E700A, it's simple and straightforward. I went ahead and downloaded the recommended app but didn't need to since Listening Optimizer is on by default. The only thing that I didn't like is that it got overtime but that's my opinion about any other headphones.

My first impression was WOW these wireless headphones are fantastic! I've been using these headphones for a couple weeks, on plane rides, working out and to listen to music/ podcasts while I work and study. The sound quality is incredible, I've noticed a big difference in how good the sound quality is compared to other headphones I I've owned, as they tend to diminish the sound quality for noise cancellation- these don't! The noise canceling is one of my favorite components of these, they cancel out all of the outside noise so I'm able to focus and get my work done and have no distraction but with ambient mode, it makes where you're not completely isolated from those around you. They are very comfortable, they fit over your ears comfortably and they are very adjustable so they can adjust to any head shape or size which is great. The most impressive thing is the battery life! The battery lasts me for 35 hours which is much longer than my running headphones so I find myself grabbing these instead. I love that google assistant can easily be activated from the headset, it's so handy and it tells you how much battery life you have left so you're able to stay updated on how much life you have left without them completely dying on you! It also comes with a 3.5mm jack so if you're somewhere you can't charge them, no worries you can plug them in! The headset part is cushioned and the case is sturdy so they stay protected and you don't have to worry about them getting damaged. Overall, I am thoroughly impressed by how well Yamaha made these wireless headphones and I'll be buying these for Christmas gifts!

Headphones came in very nice packaging and with nice travel case. I was able to set it up pretty easily and they fit pretty good on my head..music sounds amazing on these, especially when I was listening to Metallica S&M album, wow. The battery life was also great compared to my other headphones. Noise cancelation was pretty good too but not the best I've experienced. Overall, I'm very happy with these, these are now my go-to headphones for music.

These headphones are amazing they are great for working out and everything in between. The noise canceling is really great!

I recently tried YH-E700A Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones and I'm obsessed with them. They are so nice! Amazing quality and comfort, and even comes wit a case. You can use bluetooth and be wireless, or use the wire that comes with them to directly plug into a device. Highly recommend these to anyone in the market for high quality headphones.

The fit on these headphones is snug, but comfortable. I appreciate the larger labels inside the cups indicating left and right. The buttons take a bit of getting used to for positions, but the muscle memory kicks in pretty quickly for control. Charging is quick and the battery does last for a long time, as promised. The sound quality is wonderful! I don't generally listen to only instrumental music, but lyrics and speech sounded great. I didn't feel them to be fully noise-cancelling.

Love the sound quality but wish the design was sleeker

These things are so amazing. I have used them on my phone and my computer. They even work amazing for sound recording/mixing and do as good a job some of the higher end products. So if you looking for an amazing head set then buy these.

I really enjoy the YH-E700A Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones. I've never owned anything more than cheap headphones but I now recognize the difference. The sound quality is amazing, drowning out most other noises, and the battery life is great. They are also comfortable to wear for a while, unlike some other headphones I've owned.

I'm not an audiophile, but I know good sound quality when I hear it and let me tell you, these things have it. The clarity and crispness of my music—which spans several different genres, from hip hop to classic rock to Disney soundtracks—is outstanding at all volume levels, and the active noise cancelling tech helps keep me focused without causing that "pressure in the ear" feeling you get with some other ANC headphones.

The only cons to these headphones is that they're really, really big. The massive size of the earpieces adds a lot of weight, which you begin to feel after a couple of hours.

Overall, I'd say these are every bit as good as units that retail for significantly more money, so if you're buying these to listen to music for a few hours, you'll love them. However, if you're looking for a pair of headphones to wear all day at your desk, you may want to find something a little less bulky.

So, I've been trying these headphones for a couple weeks and I can say they are incredible. The sound quality is extraordinary, the noise canceling is great, they are very comfortable, the battery lasts a lot and they look amazing. I just have good things to say about it.

These have been fantastic all around! I love the ambient mode, which allows you to not be isolated from those around you. This works great when your music is at low volume. You can hear those around you perfectly! The noise cancellation is great as expected, but one big benefit is that it doesn't diminish the sound quality too much like other brands. These have a fantastic balance of lows and highs. I've tried many other headphones that are too boomy, or not enough bass at all. These are just right for sure. These have tons of battery life (35 hours). This also means that even as the battery wears down over the years, you will still have plenty of battery life. You can easily activate google assistant from the headset. They verbally tell you battery life and the current sound mode which is a clever feature. They work turned off with the 3.5mm jack. This is great if you are in a pinch! They are impressively light, and very comfortable. They don't squeeze my head too hard like other brands I've had; I can wear them for hours easily! I've been using them in the cold weather and they act great as ear muffs as well; bonus! My only possible complains is that the volume up/down buttons are a tad close together, so I fumble a little sometimes with them; again this is a very minor thing. Overall I am incredibly pleased!

Daily user of corded beats and airpod pros, and these may replace both of those. Noise cancelling is off the charts, battery lasts forever.

Love how comfortable these are on the ears. Usually I feel like the circulation of my earlobes is being cut off by the headphones, however these fit super comfortably over the compitieron. Where they fall short is the volume level. The highest is not loud at all. You could say it's comfortably loud- however I like to be able to hear the bass and treble resonate through my headphones and I don't get that here. If these went louder they'd be PERFECT.

The Yamaha E700A Noise Cancelling Headphones are the top tier headphones I have been searching for. They provide absolutely incredible sound quality with deep, rich bass and are extremely comfortable. The wireless over-the-ear design make these noise cancelling headphones ideal when I'm flying on a plane, commuting to work, or sitting back and streaming my favorite shows or music. I was also very impressed with the long-lasting battery life and how the Bluetooth 5 with aptX Adaptive provide stable wireless connectivity. These headphones come with a carrying case and the war cups fold and swivel making for easy and convenient storage. Also included were a USB-C cable, audio cable and flight adaptor. Overall I was blown away by the sleek design, clean look and unparalleled sound quality.

Yamaha – YH-E700A Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones

I have been using headphones for about 30 years. The last 10 year or so, I have only been using ear buds. The Yamaha YH-E700A is the first pair of headphones that I owned that were wireless. All the over the head headphones I have worn in the past were corded headphones. Also, none of the headphones ever had the noise canceling feature, so I was excited to try these headphones out after they arrived from FedEx.
When I first opened the package, I was impressed with how well manufactured they appeared to be and the quality of materials. These headphones are made from plastic, but it is a higher quality that seems like it will stand up to more than regular wear and tear. The adjustable portion of the headphones have a cushion that rests on the top of the head and plush cushions that fit around the ear.

How did the headphones perform? I tried these headphones for about a week and a half before making this review. I have used the headphones with my cellphone, iPad, and my smart TV. The headphones functioned well with each device and paired via Bluetooth easily. I also tried the headphones with each of these devices with the cord as well. The performance with the cord was not as good as the performance from the Bluetooth. But who uses hardwired headphones anymore anyway?

The Sound – The sound was excellent. I ended up testing this out by listening to Pink Floyds, "Darkside of the Moon" and I could not believe how crisp everything sounded. The bass was heavy in the headphones but was not overwhelming. The crispness of the highs was outstanding, and everything blended perfectly. I was caught up in the soundscape from the music and almost forgot I had headphones on. I used these headphones with the noise cancelling feature and ambient song feature as well. The noise canceling feature was unbelievable and is the mode I preferred. The feature does not eliminate the outside sound, but it gets close. I found that when, whatever I was listening too got quiet, I would begin to hear the outside sound, but it was extremely muffled. The ambient sound feature is nice if needed but it is something I would not be using much if at all. The ambient sound feature does seem to enhance the sound of exhaust fans that are around, which was annoying. When I used the headphones with my phone for a teleconference at work, they were perfect. I could hear every word from everyone that was on, and I didn't miss one thing during the call.

The Controls - The controls are easy to find and the volume button serves two purposes. One to select next track and one to raise and lower volume.

The Comfort – I can wear these headphones for hours and they do not get uncomfortable at all. My only complaint is that they make the top of my head sweat and my ears sweat. It is not like I am soaked from it but they do trap body heat.

The Battery Life – The battery life is outstanding. I have been using these headphones for about a week and a half for 2 hours a day, and the battery is still above the halfway point. The headphones took about 2 hours to initially charge to 100 percent.
Storage – The storage case is adequate and fits the headphones and accessories nicely. My only concern is the case might warp the shape of the headphones in the future since the headphones do not fit symmetrically in the case.

The App - The application that I got to use for these headphones does not really do much. It would be nice if Yamaha improved this application in the future.

These YH-E700A Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones are EXTREMLY comfortable and the sound is crystal clear. I like being able to wear these for hours with no discomfort and enjoyable hours of music and tv listening. The sound quality is A+ and the ability to block out noise during use is excellent. The ear cups are very soft and the adjustable feature fit my ears snuggly. The battery life is very acceptable compared to others and again using them for a long period of time is comfortable and there was no discomfort to my ears.
This is my first experience with the Yamaha brand and it will NOT be the last, I am extremely satisfied and have no complaints. You can not go wrong with these YH-E700A Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones especially if you're a music fanatic as I am and listen to music multiple times a day, hours on end. Great job Yamaha, these YH-E700A Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones are EXCEPTIONAL !

An awesome pair of noise cancelling headphones !! Works like a charm both when you need to be sound proof and when you do not need to be. Premium quality, light weight and savvy looking. Excellent sound quality and equalization.

These are so comfortable to wear for long periods. They truly are noise canceling, I didn't hear anything annoying around me on my long flight. As someone travels a lot theee are perfect.

The sound quality is excellent and noise cancellation works great. The Bluetooth feature works really well and the ear pads are very comfortable on the ears and fits very well on the ears and adjustable as per ones head size. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quality wireless headphone set with noise canceling feature at a competitive price.

I loved these headphones they are really clear!

This is a third pair of similar headphone that I've owned. The others were made by Sony and Bose and Yamaha ones have the best sound quality out of the three. Every beat and sound is enunciated clearly and makes you fall in love with your favorite music all over again. The design of these is bulky but slick. I like the round design instead of a now traditional oval one. The presentation is classy and elegant with a nice box and carry case. Three options for listening are useful: Ambient, off and noise cancelling. Ambient lets you hear your surroundings better, off - just turns all options off and noise cancelling gives you a quiet experience. Comparing these options to other headphones they are a bit lackluster and can be improved. They are not bad by any means. This is where my love relationship with these headphones end.
CONS:
- They are a bit heavy and hard to wear for long periods
- They are bulky and laying on a bed or leaning against a chair is hard and uncomfortable
- The app lacks in functionality, other brands offer customization and multiple options in their apps
- I could not pause/resume my music by using the button on the headphones when my phone screen is locked
- Lack of being able to connect to multiple gadgets simultaneously is inconvenient to me
- I wish they paused when I take them off or start speaking, or at least have an option for that
- other leading brand offer swipe capability on their headphones which is a nice option for quick control

These things exceeded all of my expectations. I've gone from wearing my AirPods at the gym to wearing these things. Those sound quality is out of this world! And the battery life is impeccable, haven't charged them since I got them! They are lightweight, smooth and perfect!

These head phones are AMAZING!!! The bass driver and audio quality is perfect unparalleled in comparison to some other head phone I have tired, from Apple, Beats, and Sony! The quality is just what you would expect from Yamaha I have listened to normal stereo music and Dolby Atmos on iTunes, and the quality is so amazing ! Literally the best head phones I have ever had. The box is very nice that this unit was packed in, it gave the feel that I was unwrapping something amazing! and it didn't lie! the unit came with a nice simi-soft headphone case, along with a USB-C charging cable, an Aux Cable and a flight adapter. This device was pretty each to get paired to my computer and my phone also

These headphones sound great, they're comfortable, and the noise cancelling feature works well. They come in a nice carrying case, making travel easy.
