Review on Superior Sound Quality and Clear Communication: Yamaha CM500 Headset with Built-In Microphone by Michael Colley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Semi-professional audio and video game monitoring

I use this to monitor/produce music and play Fortnite. I know it's an odd combination, but I wanted to come up with a simple solution: basically good headphones with a mic. I like it better than my Audio-Technica ATH-M20x professional studio headphones. The Audio-Technica are nice and smooth, just how I wanted them, but the bass levels are too low for most realistic reproductions today. These CM 500's have more realistic (but less flat) bass. Much better for my mixing. For Fortnite the mic goes down and I can ask my son to revive me. This is what happens when we play together: I get killed and he guides me through the game. I'm what he would call "Bot". Anyway, I like that the mic wobbles up and down without having to bend it. I expect it to last longer without breaking this design. I am very happy with these headphones.
