Customer Reviews for Yamaha YH-E700A Wireless Noise-Cancelling Over-Ear Headphones
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.

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.
