Denon AHD2000

Pros: Very well balanced

Cons: Flying saucers right on your head

Summary: I have been purchasing high end headphones for quite some time. Sennheiser has typically been my can of choice. I do own Dennon home systems however, so when I saw they made a headphone, I had to try. These headphones have achieved something that closed headphones (all that I have heard) have failed to do. They deliver a remarkably open sound. I have a pair of 280 Pro, and they are very good, but they do tend to make you feel rather closed in. The Dennon's are more along the lines of an open back headphone, such as the HD595. But the base is a bit better. They are also VERY COMFORTABLE!! If you love music and you can spare the money, buy these headphones. They are truly in a league of their own for a closed ear headphone.
