Product Overview
Yamaha YH-E700A are the company's flagship wireless noise-cancelling headphones with an over-ear design. They offer class-leading 35-hour battery life with Advanced ANC on and are able to optimize the sound in real time, adapting to the listening environment.
The YH-E700A feature Yamaha's Listening Optimizer, which uses microphones to make constant measurements and analyzes factors such as seal and air leakage. Playback is optimized in real time to correct the difference between the source and the listening condition.
They also feature Yamaha's proprietary Advanced ANC, which analyzes and removes background noise without coloring the sound. It can also switch to ambient sound mode for when you need to carry out a conversation.Ratings

Reviewer score 84%Yamaha YH-E700A delivers simply fabulous top to bottom sound. Thunderous and prodigious bass and dynamics are both a blessing and a mild curse. Bass heads will probably love it, but audiophiles will raise an eyebrow. Listening Care provides a boost to the bass and lower midrange to deliver a warmer but thicker sound.
