When connected to the NuForce Icon Mobile amp, I'm amazed at the sound coming from headphones this inexpensive ($110 when I bought them). They have a beautiful, clear, detailed quality that I never managed to find in the Sennheiser's, Panasonic's, Koss, & Bose I'd tried before. When I bought both the Audio Technica ATH-A700's & ATH-AD700's within a few months of each other, I couldn't say enough about how much I loved their sound. Some might find the sound to be a little "colored" or enhanced, but these Denon's sound better than anything else I've tried. Well, I think the Denon AHD-1001's may have topped my Audio Technica's. As good as those two models are, the Denon's have a clearer and more delicate, almost shimmering, sound to them. Along with that, even with my 7 3/4 hat size, these deceptively small looking phones are actually more comfortable than the over-sized Audio Technica's. I can't imagine anyone not loving these.
The head strap is squishy and soft against the top of your head. However if you do need to extend the length, they come with an extension cable.Now, for the sound quality, which is something I'm very picky about. But I'm thankful for it, I have good faith that it will last long.They're probably the most comfortable headphones I've ever owned. The cables aren't flimsy, and the adapter is thick and sturdy.
I listen to pretty much every genre out there, and I haven't been disappointed yet. And the sound doesn't leak too badly. I found these, and I'm very pleased I went with them.The physical quality is great. The cans enclose your entire ears, which is wonderful. I was biting my nails after buying these, wondering if I made a good decision.
These headphones will give you sexy bass without over-doing it, and the highs are crystal clear. They stay in place without feeling too tight, and are good for periods of long listening. They look simple and stylish, too. Not only was it inaudible to anyone else, but the roaring of the airplane was greatly reduced.
I've gone through three pairs of Bose around-ear headphones, and after my last pair fell apart I started looking around for a similar pair of better physical quality. I certainly did. These have an even more supreme sound than the Bose headphones. They are just as good as the Bose, if not better.They also sound great at any volume, from barely audible to excruciatingly loud. They're lightweight and easy to carry around. They work better for airplanes than a pair of noise-canceling headphones I own.I'm so glad I bought these. The only drawback is that it protrudes out quite a bit and can get in the way of things, depending on where your headphone jack is.
They've got superb quality and sound, made to last, and they look great. Better than the Bose, in my opinion. The cable is nice and short so it doesn't get in the way for portable listening. I was on an airplane just last night, blasting music extremely loud. I can't recommend them enough.
The clarity is amazing, so crisp sounding and they fit perfect with no needing to take a break. I just got these delivered today and boy am I impressed. The only slight flaw I have with them (not to major) is they don't sound that great listening to heavy metal. I had to get something different because of my Bose Triports could not take anymore supper glue to hold them together and the foam kept coming out of the ear muffs. So after reading excellent reviews I had to order them. It seems like the mids are not as balanced in the distortion in metal as the Bose Triports are. But still I love all kinds of music so it's great for just about everything else.
My only two slight criticism is the top headband, all though strong/soft made of soft padded microfiber, I find press down on the top of my head a little causing a slight pressure on my head. These Denon AHD1001S On-Ear Headphones' sound quality is awesome. But these Denon's are a pleasure to wear on-ear, and the sound quality is hard to beat especially in the mid range. I love the up/down ratcheted adjustment; the locking clicks are strong and these headphones stay put once adjustment is done, IOW they don't go out of adjustment once they are on your head. Highly recommended. I paid $119 and the MSRP is $150, I think.
The over-ear padded microfiber ear rings I find to get a little warm after prolonged use, but I got used to it and I don't notice it now. I was using Apple white EarBuds and I hated them, they were just too uncomfortable to wear. But a slight shift rearward of the headband solved the problem. My tiny old iPod Shuffle has no problem driving these phones. For the money you get a lot of headphone: sounds great, physical construction is excellent strong and lightweight, comfort is good especially on-ear. The Denon AHD1001S On-Ear Headphones is a solid good quality headphones for the money.
Ive looked for headphones for a while, and all of the ones I looked at that I was wanting were either retarded looking or too expensive. These phones look good and the price is good for the quality. Good sound stage, and these puppies can get loud, too.
