Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
These Yamaha WL500s are a really interesting hybrid – a wireless headphone with a semi-open design aiming for a more natural sound. They're great for musicians needing low-latency monitoring, or anyone who prefers a wider soundstage than typical closed-back headphones offer, but be aware of the audio leakage.
