Отзывы о Наушники Denon AH-D7200

Some people said this headphone sounds awful! But that is not true!
You can't stick it brandnew in an iphone without denons equilization app and without much time for warm up!
I think a realistic quantity are 60-70 hours, but in my experience it needs 100 hours to play how you expect or wish!
In a real good and neutral sounding audio equipement ( my equipement is the result of years of experience and ten thousands of euros investment!) this headphone is a fantastic chance for a new sound level that's not possible for loudspeakers in a price range around 5.000 euro or some more, no chance!
They are sounding neutral with a little warmth and a powerful bass, which is so nuanced that you can hear structures in the bass lines you never heard before! This bass didn't overlay the fantastic and very natural mids! Not at least it creates very realistic wide rooms with impressive structures, in spite of the closed construction!
No other headphone I've heard around 500 euro (I don't want to pay 1000 euro for a headphone) can touch the sound level of denons ah-d7100 ! It's worth every penny you spend on it, even if you pay the normal price !
It is an audiophile reference in the german magazine "audio"! Now I know why !
Besides it's really comfortable! If you can get one of the last, take your chance!

I have these headphones directly connected into creative ZxR soundcard, which has output impedance or source impedance of 38 Ohms and the headphones reproduce the sound extremely well. Also ordered 2x AD827SQ opamps to replace cheaper opamps that come with ZxR. You can get these opamp from RS for £60. These will further improve sound quality.

Of course, you can avoid a dedicated soundcard, and splash £499 on Sony UDA-1 - a dedicated AMP, DAC, sound processing beast. But how much difference will you notice in overall sound quality? 10%, 15% maybe 5%?

My motherboard is Maximus Extreme IV, I tried connecting these Denons directly to onboard soundcard and it is way off, I mean I am in UK, but the sound is coming form China, sound is dull, poor clarify of instruments.

Some people say that on board soundcard and its DAC are just as good as a dedicated soundcard, my response to them guys is go on google and search "not sure if serious joker".

I played through 34 minutes of "A Trip Into Deep Bass Music", "Biggie Smalls- Juicy" the bass is no overpowering, perfectly balanced, very controlled, you can here so many different instruments it is amazing!

The reviewer below, S.West, said high impedance source will result in uncontrolled bass and many other issues. This is complete BS.... come on son! This 1/8 impedance rule does not apply to all low impedance headphones, especially when we talk about Denon, which is not your cheap average driver that might sound horrific with high impedance source, but then again it might not, you always have to test it out for yourself before jumping on the 1/8 rule bandwagon.

Ordered these to replace my lost cords for my Denon AH-600. When I started listening I was let down. It sounds tinny and weak. Disappointed for sure. Going to order straight from Denon. Lesson learned.

These are probably one of the most controversial headphones of all time and I would recommend that:-

If you are not happy with the fit for your head or comfort level - return them - this is not a fault as Bruce Hornsby would sing - It's just the way it is.

I own several headphones which I have purchased over the years and they all have their strengths and weaknesses and the "best sounding" are not always the most comfortable or least fatiguing to wear.

These headphones are very sensitive and are a superb match without amplification for the latest DAPs like the Sony NW-ZX1. They can be used with amplification but that needs to be a quality low noise amp that works with low impedance headphones - if you have one they sound excellent with no noise or hiss and go loud enough to implode your brain.

The sound signature does take a little getting used to if you are coming from a more neutral or forward presentation and there appears to be a definite bass boost and mid range drop. However, unlike other makes that do similar things this does not introduce unwanted distortion or rattles into the music and once you get used to the signature you can sit/lie back and enjoy the music.

All in all a highly recommended set of headphones that you will either love (if you give them a chance) or hate because they dare to be different.

Finally, as regards price these are the bargains of a lifetime and there is nothing else to touch them at this price.

Enjoy the music and forget the equipment!

This is definitely a hi-end pair headphones. People may argue if it's worth the price tag, probably assuming that it's ok for Sennh to charge $1500 for HD800 or Bayer $1200 for T1, but denon supposed to sell 7100 for a $100 because it would make it a 'bargain' for some one-star reviewers. Comparing it to mid-range HD650 ($400) for example, I understand that HD650 is behind the 7100 in every aspect. So the 'bargain' factor is highly subjective, but in no way it could be a reason to 1-star an excellent product. For budget minded audiophiles one may get better price/performance with the D600. But I'm sure 7100 will eventually go down in price.
Now about the sound. Sound is excellent.
Interesting fact is that the 7100 sound excellent both from a dedicated DAC/Headphone Amp (Matrix MStage) and straight out of IPad, for example. IPad sounds a little brighter though and obviously lacks the wattage of a dedicated amp (i.e. softer basses), it is understood, but still very nice sound. Details resolution is incredible in high and mid-range, they reproduce any tiny nuance in music (hint: garbage in, garbage out). It is quite opposite from laid back sound of HD650, for example.
Sound stage is the best I've heard for closed-back headphones, it is wide and 'normal', (i.e. not vertical kind-of sound stage like some other phones represent it). Instruments sound very open and spacious and separation is also super. For a critical evaluation I used "Chesky guide to critical listener" disk, and the 7100 passed all tests, exposing any little nuance Chesky recommends to pay attention to. I am very skeptical when people say midrange or high-end is recessed or not there, unless they audition it using $10 mp3 player and 128kbps sources with 1k headphones?
Now the weak point is probably the bass. It is there or course, and performance is very good with pop- or electronic tracks, however on classical track I noticed some lack of 'shape' and 'impact', as the 7100 reproduces it softer than it should be. 'Softer' is the key word to describe basses from 7100. It has improved with time though, from very weak breathing of soft wind to quite boomy as it is now, (but still soft soft soft) at the same time being ahead of any opened-back headphones by a mile. It belongs where it is supposed to be and does not bleed into midrange. Also, if not in the recording, it is not reproduced by the headphones as 'fake bass'.
Generally speaking I would prefer basses from a closed-back Ultrasones-hfi580 (all other cans I have are open), though they're obviously in a different league. This may be a reason to knockoff 0.5 stars from this rating.
What else? Sound leaking to the outside more than I would like. Comfort is super, could wear them for hours. Build quality is fine with me, considering the weight. Wood is nice. Design is quite modern vs the old model, but it's subjective.

Note: I must note that out of the box they were not spectacular sounding, and it took them some burn-in time to reach their point of excellence, after that they're clearly in hi-end category. Do not judge the 7100 based on first 5 minutes with them on, give them some time and you will not regret. Do not use poorly mastered recordings, it will ruin the listening impressions.

I've been using this replacement for a few weeks with my Denon AHD-7100 headphones.
Sound is great and the microphone functions properly.
Not the highest quality but worth it for the price that I paid; approximately $16.00 + shipping.

Shipper was communicative and product was well packaged.

The idea of having a spare cable for the Denon music maniac headphones is a good idea. This cable tries to serve that purpose, but it lacks of quality, sure it is not as expensive as the one Denon sells by phone only, but it is certainly not a cheap cable to throw away after it breaks down. For me this lasted 30 days, this is not enough, I would expect to get at least a year out of it.

I have very much enojoyed my 6 months with these headphones since purchasing them directly from the web-shop that was selling them on Amazon for £449.99 for just £405.00 a few months ago when I used a 10% voucher.
These have incredible bass even with a basic DACamp like the arcam rpac with very high amounts of detail in the high end too. The high end did not tire my ears out like the Ultrasone pro900s I just sold. These are probably the most comfortable headphones ever made and they sit on your head as if two clouds hovering around your ears. Someone reviewed that the sides are loose but even sitting on my head for 6 hours they do not extend downwards they are fine for sturdiness.

The cables are thick braided and feel really expensive in both the apple and normal cable format. These are capable of going loud enough to destroy your hearing and wibble your eardrums around with the sheer immense bass (stronger than pro 900s which were called bass kings)just from the rpac. I cannot make them distort at any volume on any tone test or extreme dubstep or hiphop track at all. We managed to pretty much almost blow our eardrums testing 2 pairs of these at my mates house watching a blu-ray on his more powerful headphone desktop fostex amp and the movie sound was we both agreed phenominal. We compared them A-B with denons old series the d-2000s and in terms of a relaxed easy listening headphone at low volume the d2000 would win but as soon as you demand more bass or want more volume or fun or dynamic range and grin-on-your-face factor we both opted for our pairs of ah-d7100s.

Since buying these I'm so happy with Denon as a brand I have purchased flagship in-ears and love those too but nothing beats my ah-d7100s and these cushony soft earpads, they make the new b&W p7s I auditions on a naim dac in a store seem positively normal in comparison.

The cable works well, but has a lot of microphonics (e.g. noise when the cable moves against clothes). This is because the nylon housing is hard not soft.

Once upon a time, £400 would be the absolute most you could pay for a mainstream pair of headphones, now it runs into the £1,000s...

The original RRP for these Denons was probably a little rich, but - for £400, if you like a VERY clear / crisp treble, these will work for you perfectly - the detail on offer is phenomenal, as is the soundstage, for a closed headphone - very unusual!

Bass is deep, and tight - probably too tight for most (no boom boom boom here, but do not think that means these are bass shy!)...

Not really a lot more to say - these scale nicely (whether using with a mobile phone, or - like me, with a Chord Hugo), but the biggest achillies heel they have is that the Denon D600 (which can be found on Amazon for £160) reportedly use EXACTLY the same drivers, so can achieve 90-95% of the sound quality for a whole lot less money...

These Denons seem to be specifically designed for iDevices and quite frankly sound superb from my iPhone 4.

Listening to an audiophile CD (Jacques Loussier Trio) ripped at 320mb on iPhone sounds just amazing. I'm delighted with these and can't wait to try then with my home setup - Grace M903 DAC/amp. deep bass but NOT overpowering, smooth full bodied mids and detailed sparkling highs. Kings of Leon "Aha Shake Heartbreak" album rocks.

Note these are low impedance cans so probably best suited/sounding with portable devices and head amps with impedances below 2 ohms.

Other cans I have are Grado RS1, Sennheiser HD650, Sennheiser HD600 (sold recently), beyerdynamic Custom One Pro, Shure e5c and Etymotic 4rp. These definantly out perform all the above from iPhone 4. Might even sell my iBasso DX100 but time will tell.

Superb packaging to and the Denon Stand is of very high quality, aluminium upright and perspex base, must be worth at least £50 alone.

I really can't see why they've been discounted so much.

Wanted to add that I can use the iPhone cable with my iBasso DX100 but the cables control buttons don't do anything.

Also I've a small head (size 8 shoes and wear clothes sizes as small) and these headphones fit perfectly without adding any size adjustment. So I think Denon got the headband pretty much perfect.

I was very disappointed with these headphones. I though they sounded very edgy from new but read all the reviews which recommended a long burn in. I am not sure the burn in I gave (100 hours) made much difference. The phones have a strong bass which is impressive in itself but disconnected with the mid and treble.There is an edginess to the sound which may be associated with the quite impressive brightly lit detail but which makes them too wearing for me. I have compared them with Beyer T1; Sennheiser 800 and, at a cheaper level Yamaha Pro 500. They are most like the Sennheisers in being brightly lit but they do not have the overall coherence and listenability of the 800s. The T1 and the Yamaha are both smoother and more musical. I also have the Denon 600 which I think have a darker overall tone and are more listenable. I am afraid for me Denon have taken a wrong turn with these intended flagships.
I might add that my pair had an annoying blemish in the Denon lettering on the right cup so I have returned them to Amazon. I shall stay with my D7000 which are far more musical if a little too warm on occasions.

Amazon delivery was superbly fast. Thank you

The box is really nice, strong, securing the headphones very well.
A really nice extra gadget added- plexiglass stand of a simple desing with denon logo.
I was quite disappointed with the quality of the headphones pouch which looks really cheap,
not of a good quality. Stitching done by someone who was not very sober I think.
Generally it has interior very coarse and the tiny tiny pocket inside
will absolutely not be able to accomodate any spare cable.

Headphones are fantastic. design is very good (for me) maybe slightly too plasticky in comparison to its predecessor,
but they are very light and very comfortable. Easy to adjust. Well designed connectors which are clearly marked red and white.
Wooden earcups mounted on bearings adjust itself to the head.
The quality of the earcup leather is superb. its so delicate and fits my ears very nicely.
They do not cancel exterior noise very well. I would say 60 percents.
I was listening music for 4 hours without any discomfort.
The quality of sound is obviously the most important. And I am delighted with it really.
I am listening to different type of music: opera, modern jazz, pop, ambient, rock and even really punchy dubstep.
60 percent of music files comes from ipad/ipod/iphone which deliver quite good quality and strong signal.Thanks to denon itunes available for free @DENON travel@ soft, you can adjust the tones exacly as you like. 40 percents of my music comes from CD as a direct source and I can say that the overall spectrum is very well balanced, with very selective scene, rather soft bass and crisp high frequencies.
The only one disappointment was to listen to the music during flight. Especially if you listen to the iphone/ipod music you can expect some troubles.
Surprisingly the plane noises interfere in some mysterious way with the
low/ middle tones moderately reducing the perception. I have decided to compensate it with the use of DAC FiOO F17 amplifier which has sorted it out in exceptionally good way. This small device is something must have for frequent flyers.
I can compare Denon Artisan to my Bowers and wilkins P5 and Bose quiet comfort 3, also sennheiser HD598. Denon is highly superior to them as per sound quality and comfort. This are the best headphones I have heard. (Obviously I have not listened to grado yet ;))
There are 2 sets of cables. One short with asimple remote- nicely designed and comfy. And the 3 meters long one of a high quality with standard gold plated connectors. I am using the short one mainly and its connectors semm to work very well. No any single crackles heard up to now.

As many others in the audio enthusiast community, I was very very excited when these headphones were first coming out. I couldn't find a place to put my credit card down fast enough to get these.

Presentation:
When they finally arrived, I was totally impressed with the boxes and casing. I currently own the Denon D7000, and I was impressed with the presentation of those headphones. These guys are a clear step up. Great detail on the presentation.

Comfort:
Awesome comfort. I really liked how thick and comfortable the cup padding was. It was really great and my ears did not get close to the actual driver.

Build:
Marginal. I liked the wood accents and styling quite a bit. However, once you hold the headphones and aren't just looking at them the woodworking is low quality and the plastic doesn't feel very high grade for plastic. At this asking price if you're putting plastic on a headphone housing, it better be pretty high quality.

Sound Quality:
Here's where things really start to roll off. In short, I did not enjoy listening to music or watching movies with these. They really sucked the enjoyment out of these activities. These really sound like fart cannons positioned on either side of my ear.

Bass: Underwhelming in quality. The bass sounds fake, underwhelming in music that relies on good bass. It just sounds like bass in rattling in a tin can, over and over.

Midrange: Very recessed. Like guitars, stringed instruments and vocals? Their life has been drained away.

Treble: Pretty much out on vacation as well. Life is drained on female vocals. They are there, it just sounds like the woman is singing in the next room over.

Instrument separation: None. On higher end headphones you want to hear instruments, bass and vocals separated. Not on this headphone. Sounds like they are all in the exact same position.

In summary: If you are buying your first higher end headphone and you buy this, you may end up liking it, and thinking you are in the high audio world. If you have headphones that regularly go for $150 or more, you'll be disappointed with these.

Make sure you audition these before you buy. You might like them, but I highly recommend comparing with the Final Audio Design Pandora VI. The Pandora is a far more immersive sound than the Denon. I found the Denon a little harsh, while the Pandora's are super smooth, but with every ounce of detail remaining. The tweeters fitted inside the Final Audio Design headphones really do add another depth of realism that I thought was impossible with headphones.

The new Denon flagship headphone looks great, sounds very good and is packaged to make a big impression, particularly when given as a gift. The memory foam leather covered earpieces are very comfortable although the overall headphone is heavy and is inclined to slip with any significant head movement off the vertical. Ultimately, I returned these and bought the new Denon AH-D600 Music ManiacTM Over-Ear Headphones, Black from Amazon for 1/3 the price. The specifications are almost identical, including the size and composition of the "Nano-Fiber" drivers and the glass fiber molded ear hanger (frame). The only specified differences for the D-7100's over the D-600's per Denon USA's web page are an extra 2dB/mWatt of sensitivity (slightly lower input will provide a louder sound) and a extra 5 grams of weight, accounted for by the fine looking Mahogany Wood earpieces that are replaced on the AH-D600's with silver moulded plastic. The D-7100's also include a headphone stand that is not packaged with the D-600's.

I listened to both these 'phones using a standard iPhone 5 output from the mini headphone jack and alternating with my Denon AVR-4311CI 9.2 Channel Network Multi-Room Home Theater Receiver with HDMI 1.4a using the provided 10 foot standard headphone connector. For both the D-7100 and the D-600, the two provided cables give you a quick switch from in-line iPhone controls and microphone to the home system connection. In both cases I was using 256 bit ACC file formats, which are not the audiophile's preferred lossless files, but realistically what many of us have readily available when using iTunes and iTunes match music data.

I really like the look of the D-7100 wooden ear-cups and the silver trim over the D-600's black and silver with contrasting stitching. If they were $100 more than the D-600's, I would have kept them for aesthetic reasons alone. As it was, with Amazon selling the the D-600 for exactly a third of the D-7100's, I kept the D-600 and returned the D-7100. To my ears, there was not a significant difference (your mileage may vary, as outside of specifications, sound quality is very subjective). I plan to use some of the money saved for a Schiit Asgard headphone amplifier, which I fully expect would significantly improve the sound from both of these low-impedance headphones.

At the price point of the D-7100, there are several other top-of-the-line headphones that the audiophile websites rave over. I'd look to those when spending $1200 on headphones and make sure to have a headphone amplifier for serious listening. For me, the Denon D-600 provides a very similar sound stage to the D-7100s at a bargain price.

So the first thing with these phones is try before you buy.
These headphones are very good but are extremely dependent on the equipment you already have. Trying to run these from a high impedance source (from experience an Asus Xonar STX) or direct from a receiver will result in uncontrolled bass and many other issues. If you do not have a dedicated headphone amplifier of some description you really should not buy these.

The styling is very niche as is the sound signature (as with the older series), they are usually a love them or hate them ordeal.
The sound isolation is very good and when at volume only a few loud noises and close speech can be heard. Noise bleeding is not there at all and ensures that your flat mate or partner will not take a dislike to you (unlike open headphones). The soundstage is about as wide as you can get with closed headphones and match a lot of open/semi open phones out there.
The wood cups are deep in colour and the Denon logos are rather fetching. The Silver plastic is probably not the best idea but was not a deal breaker for me. The fake leather is rather comfy and non sweaty, the stitching is of good quality as well. They are as comfy as headphones come at the moment and fit securely over larger heads.

You do get a rather fetching headphone stand, an iphone cord (yet to see someone on the train with these though...) a very long cord (completely braided) and a slightly tackey bag. I have no idea why these did not have a harder carry case (e.g. Beyerdynamic products).

Are they worth the money? Well if you have this kind of money to burn then yes, if you are going into debt I would say no. There are many headphones that come close to these for half the price (but not half the sound quality). These headphones are usually of an open design though, so are useless in noisy environments.

The AH-D7100 are good headphones however they have left their partnership with Fostex, who made their drivers and the overall quality is not a step forward.

Firstly, the headphones have been on offer since they launched at a massively reduced price, which while good for bargain hunters makes me feel that they are struggling to compete in the market against Sennheiser and other leading headphone manufacturers.

I have a pair of D7000's which I modified with an uprated cable and they sound just as good as the D7100's which is why I decided to return them to Amazon. I actually give the edge on soundstaging to the D7000's.

The build quality is quite good, although their new design seems more in line to appeal with the younger 'beats' audience, rather than the audiophile who wants a more traditionally/subdued styled headphone. Again I think this is a step backwards.

Overall, their sound signature is pleasing and quite detailed, but when compared against their previous model, or Beyerdynamic T1 or Sennheiser HD800, they face a tough challenge. The bass response is strong, but slightly muddied, and the mid range seems a little recessed. Treble is very smooth when fed with a good 24 bit source.

The headphone stand is a nice idea, but the quality is less than impressive - I would rather have Denon spend the money on the headphones themselves, than bundle a £30 quid sub standard headphone stand with the product. A high grade portable case for instance would be more useful in my opinion.

Good price point right now, under £500 and perhaps worth the money to many people - however they offer nothing over the D7000 apart from a radical new design to appeal to a younger audience. A step forward? no.
