Although a little pricey, these headphones provide a high quality music experience and are very comfortable for extended periods of time. Always sound great without requiring me to blast the volume. You'll hear details in songs that you'd never noticed before. After wearing these on a regular basis for several months, I'm still impressed by the quality every time I put them on.
I've tried them out on my commute to work--walking on a busy street and on a loud bus--and the sound of cars passing and bus engines roaring is pretty loud. The earpads don't press too tight, so they're very comfortable for extended periods of time. Because of the comfortable fit, though, these cans do a mediocre job of blocking outside noise. If you want headphones to use on an airplane, busy urban area, or to DJ you should stay away from these. It won't be a problem if you want to use them at home, office, or maybe even a coffee shop, but I wouldn't recommend them for more bustling areas. The highs and mids are crisp and clear.
The band has good cushion that also makes for a comfortable experience. But if you're looking for a high quality, comfortable pair of headphones and don't need too much sound isolation, these are perfect. The bass, although not that booming, is never muddled and very nuanced; you can always catch the subtleties in the basslines. I use them mostly for my iPod, but I also occasionally connect them to my desktop PC.
Well, I think the Denon AHD-1001's may have topped my Audio Technica's. Some might find the sound to be a little "colored" or enhanced, but these Denon's sound better than anything else I've tried.
I can't imagine anyone not loving these. 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.
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. When connected to the NuForce Icon Mobile amp, I'm amazed at the sound coming from headphones this inexpensive ($110 when I bought them).
UPDATE: one warning, these are not for bass-heads. 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.
As good as those two models are, the Denon's have an even clearer and more delicate, almost shimmering, sound to them.
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 look simple and stylish, too. 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. I certainly did. 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.
They've got superb quality and sound, made to last, and they look great. Not only was it inaudible to anyone else, but the roaring of the airplane was greatly reduced. They work better for airplanes than a pair of noise-canceling headphones I own.I'm so glad I bought these. The head strap is squishy and soft against the top of your head.
The cans enclose your entire ears, which is wonderful. I found these, and I'm very pleased I went with them.The physical quality is great. I listen to pretty much every genre out there, and I haven't been disappointed yet. These have an even more supreme sound than the Bose headphones. 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. I was biting my nails after buying these, wondering if I made a good decision.
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.
I was on an airplane just last night, blasting music extremely loud. I can't recommend them enough.
And the sound doesn't leak too badly. The cables aren't flimsy, and the adapter is thick and sturdy.
These headphones will give you sexy bass without over-doing it, and the highs are crystal clear. The cable is nice and short so it doesn't get in the way for portable listening.
They stay in place without feeling too tight, and are good for periods of long listening. Better than the Bose, in my opinion.
The clarity is amazing, so crisp sounding and they fit perfect with no needing to take a break. It seems like the mids are not as balanced in the distortion in metal as the Bose Triports are. 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. But still I love all kinds of music so it's great for just about everything else. 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.
The Denon AHD1001S On-Ear Headphones is a solid good quality headphones for the money. But a slight shift rearward of the headband solved the problem. My tiny old iPod Shuffle has no problem driving these phones. Highly recommended. 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. These Denon AHD1001S On-Ear Headphones' sound quality is awesome.
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. 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. But these Denon's are a pleasure to wear on-ear, and the sound quality is hard to beat especially in the mid range.
For the money you get a lot of headphone: sounds great, physical construction is excellent strong and lightweight, comfort is good especially on-ear.
