The company has even released a free smartphone app, Denon Audio, allowing owners to create custom audio settings to use with their headphones. Between now and October, Denon will be releasing eight new headphone models, including the AH-D7100 and the AH-NCW500 noise-cancelling headphones. The latter set is wireless and comes with an integrated microphone and remote control functions for use with Bluetooth devices. The headphones will go on sale at £400.

Sexy, and comfortable looking, but I'd never spend that sort of money on headphones. I will not however, knock anyone that does. We all have our passions smile.gif

Denon is awesome, I love my AH-D2000's coupled with headphone amp. Headphones are IMO much better than speakers at same price point.

300 is studio beats and 200 is for the solo beats. People like myself don't know about audio frequency ect so we get the best advertised headphones which are Dr Dre beats.

They are far from the best advertised headphones if you venture anywhere outside of bestbuy.
