<p>The Yamaha YH-L700A noise-canceling headphones remove external distractions so you can focus on their powerful 3D sound.<br><br>Huge 3D surround sound for movies and music<br>3D audio is having a moment. Sure, surround sound has been the best way to enjoy movies and shows for years — but now, 3D music is easier to find than ever. (Check out our deep-dive on Dolby Atmos Music.) The Yamaha YH-L700 wireless noise-canceling headphones help further immerse you into all of it. These headphones create an extra-large 3D soundfield using special processing that can track the movement of your head.<br><br>Yamaha uses advanced noise-canceling circuitry to keep you further locked in. It removes loud distractions, allowing the 3D sound processing and the studio-grade 40mm drivers to do their thing. Yamaha′s accurate sound signature has long been the industry go-to for professional recording, mixing, and monitoring. <br><br>Cutting-edge head-tracking tech adds a new dimension to surround sound<br>Inside the headphones, there′s a gyroscope that constantly tracks the position of your head. With the 3D sound processing turned on, the sound field stays fixed and centered — even as you nod or turn your head.<br><br>For video, that means the sound unfolds all around you as you watch the screen, emulating a home theater setup in the room. It also adds extra depth and directionality to music mixed in traditional stereo. And the special soundfield should really enhance the newer 3D audio formats, available on streaming services like Apple Music® and Amazon Music HD.<br><br>Advanced Bluetooth for a strong connection<br>Bluetooth 5.0 is on board, a stronger, newer version of Bluetooth. Yamaha also includes aptX® Adaptive technology. This versatile wireless audio codec automatically detects if you′re in an area with competing Bluetooth signals, and adjusts accordingly. In those crowded areas, it will optimize reliability over sound quality. <br><br>In places with no competing wireless signals, it will better preserve the audio quality with compatible phones. The aptX Adaptive technology can also sense when you′re watching a video on, say, Netflix or YouTube. It keeps the latency low for those kind of sources so your audio and video should be better synced up. <br><br>Designed for clear sound, no matter the volume<br>I spend a lot of time testing out headphones, so I need to keep the volume at a reasonable level. These headphones have a feature that helps preserves sound quality, even at lower levels. Yamaha calls it ″Listening Care″ — it helps protect your hearing while you still enjoy your music or videos.</p>
