Open-back Yamaha HPH-150B On-Ears for $100

Grados are not running unopposed in the $100 open-back on-ear segment. Yahama has their own competitor, the Yamaha HPH-150B going for $100 with free shipping at Amazon. On the same listing, the closed-back HPH-100B go for $50, and the HPH-50 go for $30.

For some strange reason, all these headphones along with the older RH1 and RH3 are grouped together in one product page. The negative of this is that their reviews are all pooled together which makes the average useless because they different kinds of headphones. You can pre-filter the reviews by going some browsing gymnastics, but the pre-filtered results don’t show a star rating average 🙁
