Denon AH-D5200

Well these are only 24 ohms which basically means you can plug it into anything and you will be able to get really great volume out of it it's not goi...

So at the end of this review, I'm stuck with expectations that I have that were proven false and a headphone that I feel like I can now pretty confide...

So nothing else to say, it's really a decent pair of headphones, but for $600, $700 it's a little bit questionable. I would have preferred it to be ev...

I think I would like them even more so in terms of build quality. But I also have to say this.

Hifiman Sundara, Denon AH-D5200, and DT 990 Pros (250 ohm). The Denon's are the best closed back cans I've ever heard. They have a remarkable sound stage and openness for closed cans. Bass response is phenomenal.

The Denon AH-D5200 benefits from the Yaxi TH610 Alcantara version... takes the edge off the treble and you gain better low end... still maintain the clarity, finesse, detail presentation, separation, and vocal forwardness that put it noticeably ahead of the Fostex TH-X00. And I would not have the Porta Pros without the Yaxi foam pads for them along with less clamping headband... makes a difference in overall clarity and bass tightness along with a bit more pronounced vocals, plus the massive increase in comfort. STAX SR-L300 Limited benefited from going to L700 pads (along with the L700 headband)... gave a bit more finesse and low end extension, and kept the expansive and lively presentation. For myself, Yaxi have become my pads of choice... they just seem to do what I like very consistently.

I've tried a lot of headphones at this point and would call the bass "very good" overall. The mids sound good but aren't given particular focus in the mix, so if you are used to more forward mids like I am (the Denon AH-D5200 are my favorite headphones, they bring the upper mids right up to your head) you will strain a little to pick them out of the mix though I wouldn't go as far as to say they are buried.
