The Yamaha HPH-MT7 is a closed, over-ear wired monitoring headphone with a moderate impedance, and the same model is also sold in white as the HPH-MT7W.

Key specs that matter

The HPH-MT7 covers 15 Hz to 25 000 Hz. Sensitivity is 99 dB per milliwatt, and impedance is 49 ohms. The cable ends in a 3.5mm stereo plug, and an included 6.3mm stereo adaptor fits studio equipment or the larger headphone jack of a home amplifier. The headphone weighs 360 g.

Engineering and use context

The closed earcups seal around the ears, which suits monitoring work where the listener needs to be isolated from the room. The two plug sizes let the same headphone move between portable devices and studio gear without extra cables.

Pairing

With 49 ohms and 99 dB sensitivity, the HPH-MT7 is within reach of most phones and portable sources, and a dedicated headphone amplifier also suits its monitoring role.

Alternatives

Yamaha's HPH-MT5 is another monitor headphone in the brand's MT series.
