Yamaha YH-E500A Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones — Black

Some headphones are built for the lounge room. These are built for the departure gate. The Yamaha YH-E500A is an on-ear wireless headphone made for people who actually go places — long commutes, longer flights, and everything in between — with Active Noise Cancelling that quietly erases the drone of an aircraft cabin or a peak-hour train carriage.

Noise cancelling that earns its keep on a 17-hour flight

If you've ever flown Perth to London or Sydney to Dallas, you know the real enemy isn't your seatmate — it's the constant low roar of the engines that wears you down hour after hour. The YH-E500A's Active Noise Cancelling is tuned to swallow exactly that kind of steady background noise, so the flight feels shorter and you land less frazzled. When you need to hear the cabin crew or a boarding announcement, tap into Ambient Sound mode and the outside world fades back in — no need to take the headphones off.

All-day battery, then a trick for when it finally dies

You get up to 38 hours of playback with noise cancelling switched on. That's Sydney to London and most of the way back on a single charge. And here's the part most listings bury: the 3.5mm line-in works even when the battery is flat. Plug the included cable straight into the seat-back entertainment screen and keep watching — a genuinely useful feature that battery-only competitors can't match on a long-haul haul.

Sound that looks after your ears, not just your playlist

Yamaha's Listening Care feature intelligently balances the audio at lower volumes, so you get full, clear sound without cranking it up — easier on your hearing over a long listening session. Behind it sits a 40mm dynamic driver and Bluetooth 5 with aptX HD, delivering stable, high-resolution wireless streaming from your phone, laptop or tablet.

Made to travel light

The earcups swivel flat so the YH-E500A tucks neatly into a carry-on or day bag, and at roughly 195g they're light enough to wear from takeoff to touchdown. On-earcup controls handle music, calls and Siri or Google Assistant without reaching for your phone.
