Denon DNHP1000 Super DJ Headphone

 (9 customer reviews)

I bought these after spending the better part of a day comparing (online only unfortunately) many different brands and models. My degree is actually in sound recording and other media so I'm very picky about anything audio, and I had a good idea of what I was looking for.

Overall, I've been very happy with them. They do a good job drowning out extraneous background noise for studying (or trying to ignore people) as one would hope. At medium volumes, my girlfriend cannot hear what I'm listening to from 4 feet away. They also turn a noisy plane into a pleasurable experience.

Music quality is excellent for listening back. Accurate, pleasant at low and high volumes, and comfortable after you break them in for a few hours. Actually they're fairly comfortable out of the box, but since I wear glasses it took a little more time. Since the earpieces can fold flat on your upper chest, they feel completely comfortable around your neck as your walking around the...Read more

These are a great set of headphones but a little finicky. On my set, the 3.5mm plug isn't wired particularly well so I end up having to wiggle the very end of the plug to get stereo. After that, they sound great. I'll probably have to have the end reterminated. Other than that, they are a great set of cans. Very comfortable to wear for longer periods of time. Being a college student, I find myself reaching for them a lot either when I need to drown out the background noise of the dorm or when my roommate needs to study. I can wear them for a couple hours and be fine. Even with no equalization (which is my preference) these are very accurate. Treat these headphones well and they will pleasure your ears.

I am what some may consider an "audiophile." I listen to music for about 30-40 hours per week, and for the most part using these headphones.
Pros:
-Good sound from a variety of inputs, from iPhone to laptop stereo systems.
-Very low, if any, distortion.
-Good balance of treble, mids, and bass.
-Usable for listening back, DJing, and during commutes and such.
-Fantastic isolation at all volumes.
-Little to no listening fatigue.
Cons:
-Headband starts to hurt after about 3-4 hours of straight wear for the first couple uses, but after the headphones are broken in this problem goes away.
Overall:
I give these headphones a 9/10. Versatile, high-quality cans for a great price to boot.

EDIT: I have owned these headphones for over a year, and still work perfectly.
