Manufacturer's Description

Denon AH-D1100 Closed Type Stereo Headphones

The AH-D1100 is a pair of over-ear headphones endowed with all the Denon technology you need to enjoy music in optimum comfort for as long as you like. Denon engineers conducted extensive tests in various user scenarios to produce ear pads that cover the ear with a gentle touch on the skin, a headband that achieves stable wearing comfort, and even cable lengths that suit individual scenarios. Of course, plenty of attention was also devoted to audio technology. The driver unit is the heart of any headphone, and the one used in the AH-D1100 has a large diameter of 50 mm. These driver units, combined with Denon's acclaimed Acoustic Optimizer technology, have been carefully tuned by Denon technicians to achieve a clean, detailed sound with impressive ambient depth from the low to high range. Sound quality is further improved with the use of a duallayered aluminum and resin housing that absorbs vibration and prevents it from affecting the sound. We are confident you will be pleasantly surprised at the beautiful sound you hear with the AH-D1100.

The sound of this set is fantastic, easy to drive from an iPod touch and sound best in my opinion with the EQ set to Flat or off, as the sound of these seem to change a little TOO much with the built in EQ settings,
causing the sound to feel too exaggerated and false.

Bass is powerful and fast, can be a little overpowering with certain types of music though, but overall very well balanced.

These really shine though when watching movies, the extended range ensures there's no distortion and effects, dialogue, and soundtrack all stand out equally.
The included 9ft extension cable, giving you a total of 12ft when in use, makes it ideal for late night viewing or gaming.

These are also VERY comfortable. The pads are very deep giving a good distance between your ear and the speaker in the ear cups, so you don't feel too restricted.
The fake leather pads can make you get a little sweaty under them though. My ears pretty much fit snugly within the cups, and I don't have the smallest of ears,
so unless you're unfortunately endowed in the ear department these should fit nicely onto your head and ears.

The downside though, is that the silver plastic arms that hold the cups on AREN'T solid. They're actually hollow and open on the side towards your head,
and after just over a month of use out and about every other day or so, there are already a number of hairline cracks developing on the top edge.
I haven't dropped these and they've been in the pouch when not in use, so I can only suggest that the cracks have come just from the flexing of the unit when they're in use.

I'm not sure about Amazon's returns policy, they might not offer returns for something that may be deemed as cosmetic or accidental damage.

So be wary, and to be honest after this experience with the quality of them I regret this purchase, despite the amazing sound quality.
Cracks developing in the arms through careful day to day use in a product costing near £100 is unacceptable,
I'm sure that given enough time the arms may crack completely and have the ear cup fall off.

Disappointed 17 Feb 2012
By Samuel
I bought a pair of these about half a year ago and I must say I am not happy. First of all, the sound isn't even that much better compared to my old gaming headphones. And now after half a year of use the silver plastic part cracked and I haven't even dropped them to floor once.

I would not recommend this pair of headphones for anyone.

Bought these on the sound quality alone when trying them in a store. Found them on Amazon for a very good (so I thought) price.

However I feel Denon should recall this product as the quality of the materials supporting the two ear pads is vey cheap plastic that is sprayed to look metalic.
I only had them for a few weeks and one of the arms on the ear pad completely snapped off when I was putting them on!.

I am 54 years old and treat my computer and audio equipment with great respect. For the price I paid I and amazed at how Denon can justify such poor build quality and cheap materials.

Buy at your peril!

Full marks to Amazon customer service.

Sent them an e-mail explaining my problem and within a couple of hours they responded and have sent me a replacement.

From the reviews there are obviously many who have not had a problem.
Still wary of the build quality and have inspected the replacement around the ear piece arm.
If i notice any hairline cracks I will be getting a refund next time.

Such a shame as they sound great and a very comfortable.
