REVIEW: Yamaha HP-1 Headphones Review by roberts@bandstand productions at Audio Asylum

208.149.44.159

I have heard 8000 dollar headphones that was not much better. These are old. Bought in 1978, I have had so many different pairs of h.phones, and these will do it every time. Remember the Ns1000 Yamaha loudspeaker. The mids of these phones have more detail !
They are laid back. You hear it all.
A class "a" product. Bass like a dynamic, highs of an electrostatic. Mids
like a well tuned pair of quads.
I want to buy a new pair, but was told by Yamaha engineers themselves, it would cost 50 grand to build one new pair...
Suggestions on something as nice is welcomed.
Class, (units with simalar performance) Stax lambda pro, etc....
