Denon AH-D9200 Flagship Reference Over Ear Headphones (Bamboo)

Audiophile Performance + Mainstream Tune = AMAZING
I have been into high-quality audio for probably about 10 years now, and I have been searching for that set of headphones that perfectly meets my needs, and while this set isn’t exactly 10/10, I give it a solid 9/10. I listen to quite a bit of Electric, EDM, R&B, Hip Hop and Top 40/Pop. Because of this, I really like V-Shaped headphone tunes (meaning, elevated low-end and elevated high end), as these are typically the parts of those genres that are really dynamic and emotional. It has always been difficult for me to find hi-fi quality audiophile headphones that provide a fun listening experience for that type of sound WITHOUT having to deal with EQing or investing in lots of extra equipment. THIS SET IS CLOSE TO PERFECT FOR THIS. Let me get into a few quick reasons why.#1 The overall sound tune and signature. Many hi-fi/audiophile cans have either a flat or bright tune, with a strong focus on detail in the high-end. That is NOT the tune of these cans. These cans have an overall warm signature, with a very dynamic feel. However, these are not Basshead cans. The best way I can describe it is that the tune is balanced but with a noticeable elevation to the mid bass. The elevation of the mid bass, however, works perfectly in tandem with the warmth of the wood cups and overall soundstage to produce an overall low-end elevated sound signature that still preserves detail across the spectrum, frankly, like nothing I have ever heard in this price range. This creates enough low-end to be pleasant, but admittedly, it is NOT the rumbling or boomy bass you would get from cans that have a bigger sub-bass boost. However, as someone that loves bass, the overall tune of these is so great that the hit to sub-bass is worth it overall. Also, this is the tune I got with zero EQ adjustments or anything like that. Right out of the box, outstanding tune (a theme that will repeat in just a second).#2 Easy to power. Again, getting into audiophile headphones can get expensive when lots of extra equipment becomes required to either operate your setup or tweak it the way you want. The fact that they have a great tune out of the box means that you don’t have to worry about any type of extra software. The fact that these are easy to power means that you do not have to invest in expensive amplifiers, DACs, etc. to use these headphones. These CAN likely be run from almost any device, even a mobile device. I personally am running them from a Dragonfly Cobalt portable DAC/Amp, and they reach max loudness before distortion around 80%, and at that volume, they are louder than I can comfortably enjoy for long periods, which trust me, is loud. Being easy to power is another reason this is just a great go-to headphone.#3 The overall clarity, detail and positioning is outstanding. Make no mistake, this is a hi-fi headphone. If you are looking at the price here and thinking it is insane, it is important to know this is a whole different class of headphone compared to the AirPods (yes, including AirPods Max), Bose, Beats and other wireless/consumer-class headphones. These are what I would say are the high-end of “mid-fi” or the low end of “hi-fi” quality. The sound here is delivered crisply and purely, delivering detail in notes that is outstanding. The overall soundstage is not particularly large; these headphones are definitely intimate. I would best describe the soundstage size as a small bubble just outside of your head. However, within that bubble, there is massive space between each instrument and vocal element, and the placement of all pieces are distinct and immersive. The soundstage has decent width and height.Those are my top three reasons for the rating, but an honorable mention is the overall build and design. Consistent with something in this price range, the build quality is excellent and distinctive. The zebra wood cubs against the brushed metal presents very well. I have a stand for mine to display. The included wire is quite long, which some love and some hate (I love), is braided so doesn’t tangle and uses standard 3.5mm connectors, so you can easily use a 3rd party cable if you choose. Easily one of my favorite pairs of headphones ever!

Narrow soundstage and overpriced
These are good headphones, but I was not blown away listening to them They don’t sound 10 times better than Beyerdynamic 770 250 Ohm. I’d say the soundstage is even worse here.

Ottima cuffia, materiali eccellenti, da abbinare ad una catena audio di pari livello altrimenti la cuffia non rede al 100%

Son fabulosos. Un producto de lujo. Lujo de sonido y lujo de materiales: cuero, madera y aluminio. Se han convertido en mis favoritos absolutos.Tengo unos Sennheiser HD 599 muy cómodos y gran representación para música clásica. El inconveniente es que son totalmente abiertos y el sonido exterior entra y también sale con lo que molestas a quien tengas al lado.Mis otros auriculares favoritos hasta ahora eran unos viejos Denon Ah-D900 de 1988 que siguen sonando muy bien. Mejores bajos y mejor aislamiento que los Sennheiser. Tenia un empate entre los dos, pero se han visto ambos claramente superados por los nuevos Denos.El Denon Ah-D7200 tiene unos bajos prodigiosos y unos agudos aterciopelados, nada estridente. Aislan mejor que unos abiertos aunque no son para exteriores. Son claramente para usar en casa. Eso sí no molestarás a nadie. Mi mujer dice que no oye nada… Además la escena, la localización de los instrumentos es fantástica. En definitiva suenan como unos abiertos de calidad pero con mejores bajos y mejor aislamiento.Yo los uso sobre todo para música clásica pero también suenan muy bien con jazz, rock y pop. Sinceramente creo que son unos auténticos todoterreno.Personalmente me resultan bastante cómodos, no tanto como los Sennheiser que son mucho mas ligeros, pero puedo estar horas con ellos y la sensación con el cuero y demás es muy agradable. Hay gente que tiene problemas de comodidad con la diadema pero no es mi caso. En alguna ocasión presiono un poco la diadema ya que hay un punto de fricción pero se soluciona fácil.Me gustan mucho además por lo fáciles que son de mover. Los he probado con un Iphone XR con el adaptador de Apple y directamente con la salida de auriculares de un Ipad 6, en ambos casos funciona fenomenal. Por supuesto suena aún mejor con un reproductor dedicado. Los uso normalmente con un A&K Sr25 y son una combinación perfecta, suena de escándalo. Por supuesto también fenómeno con mi amplificador Denon estéreo clásico.Relación calidad precio en mi caso absolutamente extraordinaria ya que los compré en Amazon warehouse, mi primera compra. Se indicaba en el anuncio que los auriculares estaban nuevos y la caja dañada, y así fue. No se valorar el precio “normal” pero puedo sin duda afirmar que es un magnifico producto.Mi única critica es que deberían venir también con un cable de 1,2 metros con toma de 3,5 que te tienes que comprar aparte, eso sí son fáciles de encontrar en Amazon.
