Good Headphones, need a case or bag, plug pops out easy
When i bought the d600, isolation was an important thing for me. Now circumstances have changed and its not so much of an issue. I should have really kept the modded philips i bought from Frans, but i gave them to my brother with an amp and dac. The D2K anyday offers a better sound for the price and especially if you are brave enough to do the recable and try some of the mods you have a chance to buy one of the most VFM detailed fun sounding headphone which is as good as any other sub 500$ cans!
The Good:Great headphones, that sound awesome and look nice. I tried the beats by dr dre and they sound good like denon but the beats are made of plastic for the headband and i will break that easily. Also I read numerous reviews on Denons and on Dre Beats and Beats are prone to breaking at the headband. Beats sound great when listening to hip hop but seem to over accentuate bass at other times. As for the Denons the sound Quality is good out of the box however I understand it will get better after a break period. I chose these headphones in part for their reputation of repeating sound as it was recorded, and not modifying the sound and it seems to be true thus far. At some point I plan to do the MarkI mod which will make them even better sounding.These Denon headphones are Very comfortable for long periods of use. The ear cup is a good size and even large eared persons will still feel comfortable wearing these. They do a good job blocking out outside noise, and by turning the sound up a bit any outside noise is minimal if at all discernible. The build Quality is very good. They are made of durable aluminum for its main chassis, not breakable plastic, which is important to me because I am prone to finding the weak points in products. The ear pads are pleather but feel soft when wearing the phones. These are great headphones I plan to use for years and I would buy these again.One Minor Problem:I have been using them straight from my macbook and the plug seems to pop out just a bit, very easily, when the cable is moved at all. This causes the sound to stop coming through the phones and in turn the laptop speakers to urn on. I'm not shirr what the fix would be as my apple earbuds do not pop out in this way. The plugs look identical in shape and size on both the Denons and the earbuds. The only difference i see is the Denon plug is gold where as the earbud plug looks like chrome or something. The cable size is different. The Denons use a much larger wire gauge than the earbuds as expected, and the insulation is like a woven material. The popping out is a minor problem and the laptop is probably to blame.Read full review
