Introduction
Nothing is worse than having an “epiphany” type moment with a particular song/album just to have your significant other ask you to turn it down. It is times like these that you simply MUST have a good set of cans. Denon is trying to break into this very competitive market with a new group of cans that range in price from $150 to $700. The AH-D1000’s are an “on ear” (supra-aural) model that is priced right for someone that wants quality but doesn’t have unlimited funds. At $150, they definitely are above the impulse buy price range and elevate the purchase to one of “bang for buck”.

Not much interest in cans around here...
Is there going to be a review of AH-D2000, the next higher up model? I am very curious to see how this Denon stacks up against the Sony MDR-SA5000.

Are those made in China? All of my cans come from Europe, as i find them excellent HQ designs, but other mnfs might be up to the task now days.

It is hard to get a feel from the article how much better or worse these are than other headphones. For example, I have a pair of Sennheiser HD280 pros (closed) headphones and have been thinking of upgrading to HD650s (open). The HD280 is a very flat response (designed to be monitor headphones) with 32db of sound proofing... however the bass response leaves much to be desired, -10Db at 1KHz.
