WE'RE ALL EARS AND EYES

IF THERE’S one piece of kit you need for your next transatlantic flight, it’s a pair of over-the-ear headphones. Whether you need to catch up on your favourite show or tune into to your playlist, we’ve got you ‘covered’.

YAMAHA YH-L700A

THIS ONE lands in the premium headset category with a refined build and stellar acoustics. The design aesthetic is bound to grab your attention. Yamaha opts for a forward-tilted headband, a simple design tweak that ensures these headphones sit right at the center of your head. In a market cluttered with oval ear cups, the YH-L700A comes with a unique squarish oval design. A choice of premium materials that include leather and soft urethane ensures these earphones feel comfortable. Just like other rivals, they’re also quite heavy. These cans don’t just exude a premium vibe, they’re also ready for the rough and tumble. A clever inward folding design makes it easy to tuck into the carry case.

You can pair it with Yamaha’s proprietary Headphones Controller companion app but you don’t really need the app to access key functions.
