Denon AH-D5000 Headphone

Phones for all seasons

We have come to the point where it is no longer necessary to have 5 pairs of headphones for different types of music. With the d5000 we are able to enjoy any music which we appreciate and we appreciate it more now with headphones in the sound quality realm as with the d5000.We no longer need dark...

Clear and natural sound

I am not a professional audio engineer. However, for 40 years I have been listening to music through a pair of stacked original Quad ESLs. I also own Stax Lambda Pro headphones, Grado RS 1, Sennheiser 650, etymotic 4S and Ultimate Ears triple fi 10 pro. I was recently listening to the...

HIGH resolution-extensive burn-in required

My perspective is a bit different:Let me preface this review with a few points that should add to the review's credibility:1. I am a classical sound engineer primarily, but work exclusively in acoustic genres where audio fidelity and sonic accuracy are paramount.2. I work in both balance...

Denon has plenty of headphones currently on offer: the AH-D5000 is the range-topper. It's a closed-back model with earcups made of natural wood – the Japanese love natural wood, of course, but apart from its decorative properties it is quite a useful

Fantastic Headphone

I won't give an extensive review here as there are enough accurate reviews out there. What I will do is address three myths that are frequently brought up about these headphones. They may help a purchaser decide if they want to buy these or not.1. The amp myth. While some people may throw a...

Great Phones, Great Vendor...

These phones were as represented by the vendor (Antonline), received in 2 days - amazing.The D5000s are great... if... they're burnt in at least 300+ hours... and you have an amp which has an output impedance of 25 ohms, or less (the input impedance of the D5000s - which is very low). If not......

Mercedes hood ornament.

These are wonderful sounding phones, but they are, in my opinion, no better than Beyerdynamic DT880's(whose Velour earpads are infinitly more comfortable." Leather/Pleather" they both are hot , but leather lasts longer.They are wonderful looking ,well built, that "New Mercedes" in your...

Excellent phones, but...

The Denon AH-5000 headphones impress you right out of the package, but with so many headphone choices avaiable, come might find it hard to justify spending over $400 for a pair. Can it really be that good? = The dark mahogany ear cups are tight-grained and smooth, and somehow also surprisingly...

AUDIOPHILE ALL THE WAY

Bought these for watching movies with Dolby Headphone Processing on Blu-Ray HD Suround Sound. Better than separate speakers, amazing detail and depth. Bass reproduction undescribable, can't believe Phones can create such tight and low bass reproduction. Dialog is scrisp and clean. The Magnesium...

Just about perfect

I ordered these because I was getting tired of wearing my Shure in-ear buds. I ordered them to listen to primarily classical music in an office environment. I already have a set of Grado RS-1s but since those have an open design, they tend to leak more noise ... in AND out. For the cost of the...
