Yamaha PRO 500 High-Fidelity Premium Over-Ear Headphones
--------------------------------------------------------
"the Yamaha PRO 500 is a formidable beast."
-------------------------------------------
"Clean, powerful audio performance, with deep bass and no
distortion at top volumes. Provides an excellent sense of depth
and space in the stereo field." — Tim Gideon, PCMag.com, January
2013.
"the Yamaha Pro 500's are a beautifully-designed pair of
headphones."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"They are going to look good and sound great... they are priced
right and we think they are going to be very popular for the
person who doesn't want overemphasized and bloated bass, but a
smoother, more articulate headphone." — Clint DeBoer,
Audioholics, January 2013.

Yamaha knows better than anyone how to make your music sound its
absolute best. Now you can enjoy the Studio Sound experience

World-class Audio Quality
-------------------------
The ship of Yamaha's PRO Series line, the PRO 500 headphones
enclose robust 50 mm drivers in high-grade, rigid aluminum alloy
earcups to deliver the ultimate sonic experience. The drivers
incorporate a new Yamaha-proprietary design featuring neodymium
magnets that provide maximum efficiency when used with mobile
devices such as s, s and other portable music
players. The over-ear cup shape offers excellent noise isolation,
while the ultra-premium ear cushion materials insure a crisp,
clear sound.
Ultra-comfortable and Built to Last
-----------------------------------
Built to handle the rigors of everyday use without wearing you
down, the PRO 500 features an adjustable, reinforced headband
with ample padding textured for a pleasant feel. The band is
shaped to apply just the right a of pressure – snug enough
to provide noise isolation, yet light enough for long listening
sessions. Its ear cushions are extraordinarily soft and smooth,
with a feel so natural you’ll never want to take it off.
Fuel-injected Design
--------------------
Drawing inspiration from the world’s finest musical instruments
and motorcycles, the PRO Series headphones get your heart racing
before you even plug them in. Gorgeous geometry and ultra-clean
design curves are matched with premium color and finish
materials, and emblazoned boldly with Yamaha's iconic tuning-fork
marque, conjuring the power and energy of our high-performance
supersport bikes. The PRO 500 is available in Piano Black and
Racing Blue.
Versatile, High-performance Connectivity
----------------------------------------
The PRO 500 comes with two detachable, tangle-resistant flat
cables: one in a 4 ft length with an in-line remote/mic, ideal
for most mobile applications, and one in a 10 ft length for use
in the home. Both cables are made from a material that is durable
and designed to reduce "touch noise" transfer effects. The flat
construction keeps the internal cores separated to minimize
interference and terminates to a low-profile right-angle
connector. The PRO 500 offers dual input/output ports, one on
each earcup, providing flexible connectivity. A gold-plated ¼"
adapter is included in the box for connecting to
professional-grade audio equipment.
Control at Your Fingertips
--------------------------
The 4 ft cable includes an in-line remote/microphone optimized
for use with Apple iPod, iPhone and iPad devices. The "+" and "-"
buttons control volume for both music and phone calls, while the
center button allows you to play/pause music, skip to the next
song, skip to the previous song, or answer/end phone calls. The
controller buttons provide a tactile click-response, enabling
intuitive operation without need for visual reference. For
non-Apple devices, control behavior varies due to differences in
applications and pin configurations.
Take Your Listening Room With You
---------------------------------
Engineered to move you and keep you moving, the PRO 500 folds
into a compact size for traveling. It also comes with a
semi-rigid protective carrying case. Plug it in anywhere and
escape to an auditory utopia.
