Denon AHD2000

With earbuds practically taking over the popular private listening landscape, I can't help but wonder how many people consider over-the-ear headphones anymore. While I love my earbuds, especially while wandering around New York City and riding the...

Luxury full-size headphones with deep, powerful bass; well-padded earcups; solid construction.

Pricey; leather covers on earcups can cause sweat with extended listening sessions; body doesn't fold down for compact storage

For at-home listening, the Denon AH-D2000 headphones provide plenty of oomph, masterful musicality, and a solid, well-constructed design.

"The best headphones I've heard to date."

The unfortunate thing about these headphones is that they are too revealing of poor quality recordings. They have a fairly sweet disposition to musical sounds. They aren't unnecessarily harsh on decent sounds, but if a recording is just mediocre it...

The AH-D2000 has a wider range than any headphone or speaker system I have ever heard. From deepest bass to beyond the highest frequency I can hear, it can produce with clarity. Notably better sound than the Shure SH440 and Grado SR225i that I own.

They have a slight low frequency resonance in the semi-deep (less than 80 Hz) bass region that a few songs have hit, which makes it just barely noticeably louder than other frequencies. The AH-D2000 isn't always very kind to bad recordings.

"Great set of cans!"

I own other Denon home audio equipment so when these were brought to my attention I had no problem picking up a set, I love the sound of these cans.

Excellent sound and the bass is banging.

I would have to nit pick to list any cons.

"Excellent value pair of closed back Hi-Fi headphones."

Bass has great presence (no need to boost the bass with these), power, depth, weight & definition.

Sound quality, Comfort (at least on my head), Build quality & appearance.

The lead is too stiff meaning that it tends to have a mind of its own & doesn't always lay where you want it to.

"Brings out the best in your audio collection"

Comfortable, amazingly rich sounds across all...

Amazing detail, clarity, dynamics and responsiveness. Delivers rich (but not too booming) bass on Black Eyed Peas' "The E.N.D." Also yields richly textured acoustic notes on Bruce Springsteen's "Devils & Dust" with aplomb. Superb sound overall

After several hours of listening, my ears became a little warm
