A Personal Theater Experience Anytime, Anywhere

Featuring proprietary Sound Field technology and all-day comfort, the new Yamaha headphones bring cinematic sound to any device

BUENA PARK, Calif., June 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Yamaha today announced the YH-L500A personal theater headphones, offering a new way to enjoy movies and streaming shows at home with immersive, cinema-like sound from virtually any Bluetooth^®-enabled device. These wireless headphones feature proprietary Yamaha Sound Field technology, creating spacious, three-dimensional listening experiences from any source device and content.

Designed for extended binge-watching sessions, the all-new YH-L500A headphones provide a gentle clamping pressure, employ newly developed earpads that fit comfortably without causing fatigue, and are remarkably light at just 9.3 ounces. Additionally, they feature Bluetooth Multipoint, enabling users to connect two devices and switch between them effortlessly.

“When it comes to reproducing cinema-like sound at home, Yamaha has unequaled engineering know-how from our decades of leadership in home theater AV receivers and sound bars,” said Alex Sadeghian, director of consumer audio at Yamaha. “The YH-L500A headphones deliver this experience for personal listening on mobile devices. Now users can watch a movie on their tablet or laptop and still experience sonic immersion that enhances every scene’s realism, excitement, and emotion.”

The headphones feature two Sound Field modes: Cinema and Music. Cinema mode enhances the spatial arrangement of dialogue, sound effects, and background music while adding spatial volume to replicate the experience of being “at the movies.” Music mode distinguishes vocals, instruments, and ambiance with clarity, recreating the feeling of being at a live music venue.

Additionally, the YH-L500A headphones offer a range of powerful features, including up to 20 hours of battery life, Google Fast Pair, Qualcomm aptX^™ Adaptive, voice control, gaming mode for low latency, and Yamaha-exclusive Listening Care. A free downloadable app enables control over settings and EQ customization.
