Engadget Review
Yamaha attempted to cater to both cinephiles and music nerds with a range of attractive features. Battery life with those tools enabled is disappointing for a set of $500 headphones and the presets can be heavy handed. As it stands, Yamaha has a solid set of headphones in need of some fine tuning.
A lot of interesting features in need of fine tuning.
