Yamaha YH-4000 Premium Open-Back Headphones

Inheriting the design and engineering principles of the flagship YH-5000SE, the YH-4000 delivers Yamaha's True Sound philosophy with a distinctive sound signature of its own, offering premium open-back performance at a more accessible price point.

Type and Technology

Over-ear, open-back, dynamic. Yamaha's Orthodynamic driver technology in a premium open-back chassis, with the same design DNA as the YH-5000SE adapted for a different sonic character. Real wood ear cup inserts connect the YH-4000 to Yamaha's musical instrument heritage.

Sound Character

Natural, musical, and expressive with its own distinct character compared to the YH-5000SE. The YH-4000 has a slightly warmer and more musical presentation while retaining Yamaha's commitment to tonal accuracy and natural timbre. Soundstage is wide and well-defined, bass is controlled and extended, and the treble is smooth and detailed.

Build and Comfort

Premium construction with real wood ear cup inserts, a quality headband, and comfortable leather earpads. Built to a standard that reflects Yamaha's position as a manufacturer of fine musical instruments as well as audio equipment.

Best For

Audiophiles who want Yamaha's True Sound acoustic philosophy in a premium open-back headphone at a step below the YH-5000SE, with a more musically engaging character.
