Denon AH-D5000 review

By Richard Black (techradar.com)

Denon has plenty of headphones currently on offer: this is the range-topper. It's a closed-back model with earcups made of natural wood – the Japanese love natural wood, of course, but apart from its decorative properties it is quite a useful material...

Comfortable ; Imressive erformance ; Great build quality ; Good isolation

Does little to stand out from the cometition

Inside the wood are the drive units, which use a microfibre material to counteract diaphragm resonance.

Denon AH-D5000 headphones review

By Nate Lanxon (cnet.co.uk)

A stunningly beautiful pair of headphones that produce an equally beautiful sound. Although you may need to sell a vital organ to afford them, they'll reward you with amazing reproductions of your music collection. Do them a favour, though, and don't...

Stellar sound quality ; Comfortable ; Lightweight

Expensive ; Unfit for use on the move ; Long, heavy-duty cable can tangle badly ; Sound leaks at high volumes

If you'd prefer earphones rather than headphones, consider Shure's SE530 earphones -- they break the £300 barrier but sound stunning, and you'll even save a couple of hundred quid to boot

Denon AH-D5000

By Chris Thomas (headphoneinfo.com)

The lower-end offering of the Denon AH-Dx000 line, the Denon AH-D5000s offer high performance for a pricetag that's a little easier to swallow than the higher-end AH-D7000s. With great frequency response, low distortion and high comfort, there's really...

Great frequency response ; Super comfortable ; Beautiful wood paneling

Not portable

Impressive cans, if you’re willing to shell out for them.
