When it comes to wireless headphones, the company seems to struggle. For a good example of what I’m talking about, check out WIRED’s review of Yamaha’s premium YH-E700B wireless headphones, which earned only 6/10. Yamaha’s newest wireless cans, the YH-L500A are at the other end of the feature spectrum. At 9.3 ounces, they’re among the lightest over-ear wireless headphones, and they achieve this weight despite having large and very generously padded ear cups. As long as you're listening in a reasonably quiet environment, these are some of the most comfortable headphones you can buy.
