Pros
- Denon AH-D7200.
- As for Denons - of course they’re closed-backs and not about ultimate fidelity. I never claimed otherwise. They’re more about fun, impact and immediacy, and for that use case they work very well.
- I still respect the Denons.
- They do not compete technically with HE1000, but they often deliver more enjoyment with zero effort, and that remains a major advantage.
Cons
- The D7200 is a bit more resolving but darker and even more colored.
- Yep, same thing with the 7200. Fantastic headphones but whoever designed that headband is probably Satan in disguise.
- Denon is a closed-back headphone, they are good for what they are, but fidelity is never one of their strongest points.
- I got a good deal on a pair of 7200 as the original owner pulled the plastic strip out of the headband and it was still too uncomfortable. I bought a capra strap to make it tolerable.
- Denons follow a different philosophy and still have real strengths
