Flagship YH-5000SE Headphones Win Bronze Award at the DFA Design for Asia Awards 2024

Yamaha Corporation announces that its Flagship YH-5000SE Headphones have been selected for the Bronze Award at the DFA Design for Asia Awards 2024. This is the fourth design award that the YH-5000SE has won since its release, following the Good Design Award (2023), the iF Design Award (2024), and the Red Dot Design Award (2024).

These flagship headphones were created by taking advantage of the latest technology to redesign our Orthodynamic™ driver that had captivated audiophiles in the 1970s. The design is both functional and beautiful with the lightest weight and most comfortable fit possible, inviting the listeners to enjoy a deep and immersive listening experience as long as they want. They are produced in the same Japanese factory that handles our flagship grand piano models.
