Product Information

They have an even balance throughout the frequency ranges, with no brightness or boominess sticking out to mar the sound. The AH-D7200 uses Denon’s proprietary “Free Edge” driver technology - the same tech that has been used previously in models such as their AH-MM400 and AH-D600 headphones.

I personally didn't hear that or measure it on my TH-X00, so I'd guess I wouldn't notice it much here either. On Wednesdays with at least a romantic note and a pinch of extra melting, it never sounds cloudy or inflated, but rather clearly audible and well emphasized. Back in the day, modifications to the DX000 Denon flagship series often included damping of the cups and tuning the sound signature via different kinds of wood. They are the only pair of headphones I have ever had that make me feel sad to remove, it's almost painful. It’s useful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of what’s happening around you, for example when you’re jogging but still want to be able to hear traffic.A detachable 7N-purity copper cable is included -also made in Japan to Denon's exact, precise specification. I would say that there are many other headphones I would go for if I was a basshead, like Ollo S4X, or Verum One, or Audeze LCD-2C, or Sivga P-2. all indications are this is the same driver as in the D7200 which makes me wonder what will distinguish the two. Listening to the old but still interesting recording of the saxophone (Bennie Wallace, Old Songs), the headphones demonstrated a rather direct, immediate, translucent image with plenty of detail and at low volumes, but with a small closed-circuit and shyness of tweeter microdynamics. What does the D7200 FreeEdge diaphragm, nano-fiber driver have to do with the TH-X00 biocellulose Fostex driver?

They aren’t very heavy either weighing in at 385 grams, which is only 55 grams heavier than Sennheiser's HD800 and 165 grams lighter than the Audeze LCD 2. Its balanced handling across all frequencies means it suits a broad range of musical styles and is comfortable enough to wear even during longer listening sessions. This is a sentiment that I agree with as the Denon D5000, for many years, was the flagship headphone amongst my collection.I was of course disappointed because instead of great sound I got this flat, very boring like sound coming from the D7200. In my experience the D7200 driver sounds quite different from the TH900 driver, which sounds slightly different (better) than the TX00 drivers. That smoothness does come at the expense of total transparency and punch, but it’s a balance we can imagine many getting along with.

So hopefully this might shed some light on why the X00 mids stick out more or sound more W curve like. Any song by Rage Against the Machine or Eminem sounds a touch too soft through the Denon, where it should be packed with attitude. There are some clean textures here, but some of the instrumentations could have used a bit more emphasis. The Clear is obviously more open sounding and spacious but the AH-D7200 has superior lows, it has better texture and more power.The Denon AH-D7200's size, lack of folding mechanism and construction make it clear that they are designed for home use, and the quality of workmanship and details speak to the level of desire to provide the ultimate listening pleasure, as well as a reminder of the best days of headphones manufacturing in Denon company.
