Review on Yamaha Black HPH-100B Dynamic Closed-Back Headphones by Keisuke Uemura ᠌
It was a reasonable purchase, I will order more.
I must say right away that I don’t understand sound: low, medium, high frequency response, bass, the stage, how it should all sound, and so on - all this is not for me. Just as long as I can remember, I was madly in love with music and listened to it always and everywhere, usually using cheap vacuum tubes (500-1500r) or home microlabs for this. And this was my first relatively large purchase in terms of high-quality sound, over which I danced with a tambourine for a long time and listened to different models in stores. For the first headphones from the upper (or not so) segment for a user who does not yet know what he is paying for, this seemed to me an ideal choice. Maybe that's what he is. I chose it, involuntarily comparing it with the Sony 7510. And using the example of their comparison, I want to reveal a couple more pluses. Then I did not manage to listen to them in turn, but, tormented by the wrong choice, after 3-4 months, on principle, I went to the shop and compared them. Now I am completely calm. In a nutshell: in Sony I can’t distinguish what is playing where and the sound is inexpressive (whatever that means for audiophiles), and my ears from Yamaha hurt because of the hard Ear pads, which on Sony were like the softness of sheep. However, Sonek has these Ambashuras, I read a lot, once or twice they will wear out, they will need to be changed quickly. Yamaha's are tough, strong, already have dents from my nails, but at least henna - I see, they will last a long time. It is important for me to often wear my ears on the street, using them incl. like homemade. Sonya has an uncomfortable three-meter non-removable wire in the style of curls of old phones, while Yamaha has it removed, and even normal, classic. This little nuance, against the background of other mutually canceling factors, when I bought, played a decisive role in their purchase. I'm inexperienced. I also thought, why pay for the sound, which, maybe, I don’t need? And I didn't guess.
- The sound is excellent, I can hear what is playing, the instruments do not overlap each other. The sound is pleasant, from which you do not get tired. Somehow I don't want to listen to bass compositions in them: either I'm used to the bass from the speakers, or something is wrong. It sounds silly, but they are stylish, beautiful. Very loud. I want to draw your attention to the fact that they look massive, reliable. About such you will not say "fragile". Huge. They fit the ear completely. Durable ear pads. You can yell "YAMAHA" in the face of a passer-by and show the bag from the transportation kit. With the FiiO X II bought at the same time, I realized that I would never again listen to music from a mobile phone in headphones for 500. Before buying, I watched that Western bloggers spoke positively about them. One of the 2022 bloggers said: "They position themselves as studio, monitor. In fact, they are not monitor, but still wonderful."
- I like everything about them, however, with one exception - my ears hurt. Not in the sense that they get tired. But physically. These shells are on the right and left of my head. I chose headphones, not attaching importance to people who wrote on the market that my ears hurt from some headphones. Like, think - the sound quality is the most important thing! However, now I understand how important this is, because for 8 hours in a row I have already tried to sit in them more than once. For half an hour you sit like norms, for the next twenty minutes, against the background of enthusiasm for work, you endure it without noticing it, and then you are like “oh fse” and take off to rest for ten minutes. And so hour after hour. It may seem like a small thing. I thought so too. But the inconvenience of working in them for a long time turned out to be a big minus for me than I thought. That's the only reason they got me to write a 4/5 review. Maybe it's my big ears. I dont know. My IMHO, my experience.
