YH-WL500 : Perfect for anyone wishing to be untethered.

2 years ago

As someone who often has to practice in silence when I saw these headphones which offered a wireless I purchased them straight away.

They are exactly what they say they are. The latency of these headphones is low enough that it can be considered non-existent. The freedom they offer for anyone tired of getting tangled in wires is almost worth it alone.

They sound is a bit more to the bass-y side but can be corrected with EQ.

The cable for the plug is very short though I discovered it works perfectly fine if plugged into a USB port in my desktop so they are easily within reach.

These minor gripes aside they are very comfortable and the semi-open back means they can be played for hours without fatigue.

I currently have they hooked up to my Quad Cortex and even with the Cortex feeding through my DAW and back out and the round-trip latency all that entails (my PC is very fast) it is still well within acceptable limits.

A great purchase for QoL.
