No frequency dominates and you’ll easily be able to pick up flaws in your mix. Ultra Flat Response – For analytical listening the HS8 excels. Yamaha has a reputation for professional-level gear and the HS8 is no exception. Reliable – Excellent materials and build quality. No distortion and clean delivery make these a joy to listen to.
