Classic Yamaha really.

Okay so I have these, a pair of Beyerdynamic DT990s and Audio Technica ATH M50Xs. They are all roughly within a £20 range of each other, with this one being the most expensive of the 3. I wanted something I could use at work so closed-back was a must-have in this case. So comparing the three:

Do they have the most flat spectrum? No, they are on the slightly bassier side for sure - Most likely because they are closed-back through. That being said I think the sound is slightly clearer and more rounded than the M50Xs. The sound is not as accurate at the DT990s however but only by the smallest margin. The bassier side for me in this case is a bonus, because I'm using them for entertainment - In which case I'd rate these the best of the 3.

Are they the most comfortable? Certainly more comfortable than the M50X's, not as comfortable at the DT990s. They are comfortable enough to go through hours of consistent wearing though (worn for at least 3 hours at a time so far, without discomfort of any kind).

Do you need an amp for the best experience? As far as I know these have a high resistance (over 2x of the M50Xs). Amp not needed with a decent sound card. They are plenty loud enough without one.

Do they block out sound well? Yes, almost completely.

Overall rating? Best closed back earphones I've ever had the chance to use in my opinion. Between these and the M50Xs, these for sure. I think DT990 exceeds these in terms of clarity and comfort. Entertainment value, noise isolation and general usage however, I think these take the #1 spot for me.

Possibly the Best

These are possibly the best Headphones I have ever had. I recently listened to a set (by a different brand) that cost over £1000 , these Yamahas are easily on a par with those.
Other reviews write a lot of guff about a lack of bass, my response: use your tonal dials, that's what they are there for!!!!!
These headphones will give you crystal clear sound and bring forward hidden sounds that are often lost through loudspeakers. They provide a deep, rich and warm sound whilst also being vibrant and dynamic; I know because I've used them on my eclectic and varied collection of music.
My advise is don't waste your money on more expensive headphones without trying these first.

Have been using them in two places. They are reliable and have a good sound quality. The comfort is at a high level. You can use them for hours in a row withiut any issues.
Besides, it comes with an adoptor and you can use either on 7.5 or 3.5 mm jack.

...pay more and get the MT8's!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 February 2019

I think the previous reviewers have got a little over excited with these as they really aren't that good. Ok for the money I suppose they are decent but try a pair of yamaha hph-mt8's and you'll realise that the extra money is worth every penny. I own both and the sound quality and lack of detachable, coiled cable on the mt7's is a let down in my opinion. Top is a little brash, mid range and bottom end definitely over hyped.
Overall these are nice enough for general listening but separation, detail, and accuracy not good enough for studio work which I believe these were originally aimed at.

Great sound quality, durable. But bulky and not very compact. Other than that they’re are amazing :)

The sound is fantastic. Comfortable solid. Easy to use

I bought these to use when I play guitar at home (to not disturb the rest of the family).
From the moment I started using them the sound clarity was exceptional & true. Just as if it
was the amp and effects on their own.

I had tried many. I cannot recommend these highly enough. It's a exceptional product for a great price.
