Denon AH-D9200 Over-Ear Headphones

I love the sound of these cans. The materials and construction, and sound, are of the highest quality.Nothing is ever perfect. I have a large head. The fit is just a tad too tight for my ears, which squeeze into the openings, and just lightly touch the fabric driver covers. I am at the last click for extension of the ear cups. Comfort is only okay, but I can put up with that because the sound is amazing. Compared to the Audeze LCD X, and the Audeze LCD 2 Closed, this Denon AHD-9200 offers more refinement in detail and presentation, and overall balance across the frequency spectrum.For me, and my big head, the Audeze are more comfortable, even though they are considerably larger and heavier. The sound of the Audeze 2 Closed is better to mix recordings with, however, since they offer enough detail and imaging information in a very uncolored, though somewhat flatter, less euphonic manner than either the LCD-X or these Denons. The use of the LCD 2 Closed, as a tool, will be of most value if you are mixing with them.However, I prefer listening to the Denon and the LCD-x for pure enjoyment of all types of music and recordings. They are both very efficient, easy to drive, and are sensitive enough to be able to use them with any decent headphone amplifier, or nearly anything with a headphone output.However,They both "scale-up" beautifully and reveal the quality of recording and all upstream electronics incredibly well. They allow you to hear the qualities of the recording, the DAC, and amplifier, and interconnecting cables very plainly.In comparison,I love these Denons and my Audeze LCD-X. I find the Denon most revealing of the finest detail, with silky smooth, easy on the ear, full range dynamic sound. I find the LCD-X to offer a slightly bigger sound stage, with better macro dynamics, but with less definition and separation of the finest details, (or micro dynamics). My ears adapt to the frequency response of both headphones, so that perceptually I find their presentation of bass, midrange, and treble balanced, natural, and smooth, without feeling that anything, including the lowest bass, is left out or over emphasized. I don't feel the need to alter their frequency response. That is really something truly incredible, but for the price of these headphones, it is something I expect. and a prerequisite to even considering investing in them. Not all uses for headphones can allow for EQing, therefore the best headphones must have low distortion, a full and balanced frequency response, good spatial presentation, great dynamics, and transients, and detail retrieval, offered in a natural, accurate, musically pleasing and emotionally involving soundscape. It's amazing to me, how close to hitting all these goals in one package these cans have come! I can't stop listening to them... late into the night...too often :-) I find, especially now with my new Denons, completely new views...new insights into incredible levels of detail and nuance... of recordings I've heard (or thought I had heard) so many times over the years. It is simply amazing, and it is a great joy!In conclusion,I think most people will love these Denon AHD 9200, as they are smaller, lighter, attractive, and are suitable for portable use, whereas the Audeze LCD-X are too large and heavy to be good for portable use.However,I am very happy, and thankful, to have both!

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

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.

These are incredible. Open or closed, but for a closed back I'm blown away. For reference I have LCDx, Focal Utopia, Focal Elegia, Sony MDR Z1R, Shure 846, Shure 1500, Stax Sr009. The bass on these 9200's is remarkable....it gives my LCDx planars a run for their money - not the same but wow. The clarity and balance is nearly on par w my Utopias. Quality and comfort are at the top of everything I own. Super easy to EQ...in fact they sounded great and balanced w almost any EQ preset I already had. Just got better when customized. If you're looking for a closed back I don't know how it could get much better than this.

These have the best bass I have ever heard from headphones, powered only by my ASUS soundcard. Incredibly comfortable, super soft earpads, wonderfully lightweight, beautiful aesthetic. Fantastic quality compared to my last headphones. I replaced my Sennheiser 660HD with this and I will never buy Sennheiser again after my ears have been kissed by Denon .
