Denon AH-C351 In-Ear Headphones review (white)

However, the cable design of the Denon AH-C351 earphones is a bit questionable. First, they feature a "behind-the-head" style where the left earphone cable is significantly shorter than the right. This in itself isn't really an issue for most, but since the cord is very short (18 inches) in general, almost all uses (save those where a player is in a shirt pocket or affixed high on the body) require attaching the included extender (32 inches). The connection point puts extra weight on the earphones, which is then distributed entirely to the left earbud, thanks to the uneven cable lengths. This can have a tendency to pull the 'bud out of the ear--annoying. On the plus side, the cord is relatively thick and seems pretty durable.

Sound quality from the Denon AH-C351 In-Ear Headphones is about what we would expect from a set in this price range. That is: not stellar, but certainly solid. Overall, we thought music sounded quite good, although electropop and poppy hip-hop tended to sound overly bright. However, in general, mids came across as warm and encompassing, while high-end detail--gentle acoustic guitar strumming, for example--was not lost. Bass response is present, though we found that we really had to shove the 'buds in to get the most on the low end. The AH-C351s are definitely not as bumping as the V-Moda Bass Freq earphones, so bass addicts need not apply. However, if you're looking for reasonably balanced sound in the $40-to-$50 price range, these Denons are worth considering.
