 They are 'ok'. Expected a little more for the price I paid. Aug 21, 2010
I bought these headphones about three years ago. At the time they were going for $150 and were the most expensive headphones I had purchased to date. I bought them to replace another pair of denon headphones I had the became I victim of my wifes vacuuming. They were $100 headphones. I cannot remember the model number at the moment, but they were my favorites phones and had the sound quality that I liked as well as a smaller earcup that just fit over my ears. They were nice and I had them for almost 10 years. So after waiting for my wife to replace the, as she promised time and time again I went out and started to research what new phones denon was offering. I figured in 10 years the tech had to improve to the point where I could get a phone with the same quality, but a lower price since the more expensive ones would have superior sound. Since I was not looking for superior sound and only sound comparable to what I had, I figured I'd be able to get an affordable replacement or a modest upgrade. I ended up buying these phones. Based on the research these seemed to be their comparable, but slightly better model to what I previously had. When I got them I was not wowed by the sound. They touted larger drivers, but unless you gave the ear cups pressed To your ears most of that is lost to all the air seepage because these have a large ear cup and the end result was a sound that was not as full as the old denons I had. I realize these were advertised as dj headphones (as were m other ones), so I just came to live with the sound quality. Not overly bassy, but can be wan cupped and they can have a punch to them. The high end was acceptable. I did not experience any listening fatigue with these, but I did have physical fatigue from having them over my ears. They would start to hurt over time.
As far as quality.... Three years later I am looking for new headphones. It's not that the phones no longer work. No. It that the headband clasps on either side began to crack and eventually cracked completely that the ear cup on thevright side dangles. They are no longer wearable. These headphones and a lot of these more expensive headphones use very cheap plastic. Opening and closing the headphones to place them on your head puts stress on these points, but it seems many of these phones are not being designed to withstand this over time. I can't help but to think about the term 'built in obsolescence". I am very disappointed that these phones only lasted 2 years (they cracked and dangled in 2009, I bought them in 2007). I have a pair of aka studio monitor grade phones ($150 or so now that I think about it, so forget what I said above) that I bought over 12 years ago that are going strong except for the covers over the ear cushions. Instead of the crappy design I see on a lot of headphones to secure the headband, it uses two simple plastic rods that attach to the ear cups which are constructed of one solid piece of plastic. The end result is the pressure at the ear cup connection point is greatly reduced to almost non existent. After owning these denons I have a new criteria I check when looking at phones and that is looking at how the headband is attached ton the ear cups and feeling how much tension is at that point when gently opening and closing the headphones. If I had awareness of it when I bought these I probably would have returned them.

They sound good. They seem pretty accurate. I would like a little more low end, but I haven't had any trouble mixing with them. Construction wise the seem pretty solid. They fit snug and are comfortable up to about 2hrs with out moving them. They stay snug when moving them about while mixing. I would like to see a fully removable cord, but really a non issue.

Great overall for listening back...and probably DJ'ing too Jul 21, 2009
I bought these after spending the better part of a day comparing (online only unfortunately) many different brands and models. My degree is actually in sound recording and other media so I'm very picky about anything audio, and I had a good idea of what I was looking for.
Overall, I've been very happy with them. They do a good job drowning out extraneous background noise for studying (or trying to ignore people) as one would hope. At medium volumes, my girlfriend cannot hear what I'm listening to from 4 feet away. They also turn a noisy plane into a pleasurable experience.
Music quality is excellent for listening back. Accurate, pleasant at low and high volumes, and comfortable after you break them in for a few hours. Actually they're fairly comfortable out of the box, but since I wear glasses it took a little more time. Since the earpieces can fold flat on your upper chest, they feel completely comfortable around your neck as your walking around the airport to catch your adjoining flight :)
These wouldn't be my choice for initial studio mixing (which I don't do anymore), but I would definitely use them as a 'reference tool' to check my mixes outside the studio to see how everything translates in the real world.
Only gripe - and I think it's more my devices than the headphone's plug - the headphone plug is loose in some devices causing mono/stereo change or complete cut outs. I thought this was the cable itself at first until I realized it was the connection in the jack of my devices. The breakdown is as follows:
iPod (3.5mm connection) = absolutely no problems; nice snug fit
iMac (3.5mm connection) = about as good as the iPod
Tosiba laptop(3.5mm connection) = about as good as the iPod
Macbook -not "Pro"- (3.5mm connection) = just fine if I'm not moving around much (i.e., fine for studying, flipping through books, etc.), but if I stretch the cable (it has a coiled portion on the lower half like a phone receiver), it'll pop out of the jack fairly easily. You may, however, get up with your laptop and walk around with ease...that's some saving grace.
Sony stereo receiver (1/4" adapter included w/headphones) = The receiver is finicky, and it took a little fiddling to get things right. I think it's the result of moving around a lot. The phones work very well, and the problems are not with the headphones, but rather, the receiver itself.
These are a great pair of headphones for the price. I recommend them for any novice just looking for an all around awesome pair and not wanting to blow money on over-expensive products (you know who I'm talking about). I'd even recommend them for a studio needing a middle-of-the-road reference tool. It's nice that they have enough response to get a lot out of listening back, but they're not going to give you all the annoying nuances that are in some recordings...which is what I want when just enjoying my tunes.

 Great Quality DJ/Gaming Headphones Jul 02, 2008
I've had these headphones for over a year and they still sound as great as they came out of the box. I use it with a digital mp3 mixer and can distinguish very clearly between the highs mids and lows on all levels. It's very durable handling high volumes of heavy bass lines at all bpms for long periods of time with no distortions. I also use it for gaming, the only slightly lazy burden here is u have to unscrew the end connection to plug into your basic computer sound card. Otherwise it sounds great, 3d sound effects are captured crisply, I can hear any enemies lurking nearby.though after long hours you'll feel like a clamp has been slowly cringing into your head. It's hard for me to trust another brand, these headphones prove to be good quality in both gaming and heavy music mode, GO DENON! =)

Great Sound, Quality Control Lacking Apr 02, 2008
These are a great set of headphones but a little finicky. On my set, the 3.5mm plug isn't wired particularly well so I end up having to wiggle the very end of the plug to get stereo. After that, they sound great. I'll probably have to have the end reterminated. Other than that, they are a great set of cans. Very comfortable to wear for longer periods of time. Being a college student, I find myself reaching for them a lot either when I need to drown out the background noise of the dorm or when my roommate needs to study. I can wear them for a couple hours and be fine. Even with no equalization (which is my preference) these are very accurate. Treat these headphones well and they will pleasure your ears.
