What customers say about "Key Specs"

Denon AH-D7200 Headphone

They are very nice lush sounding headphone which captures nuance and details in music which many won't highlight.
These sound lovely, deep and expansive slightly lacking in the treble but such a nice sound compared to other more neutral headphones.
Excellent sound. I much prefer their sound to that of my Z1Rs.
The perfection of sound, for music and movies. Highly recommend.
For me their balance wasn't open enough and for want of a better word sound dull and too rolled off in the high treble.

Audio-Technica ATH-W5000 Raffinato Series High-Fidelity Closed-Back Headphones

Well looks and fit are all great but what about the sound? I can tell that sound is amazing as well.
There is a level of detail and transparency I just didn't get with other headphones I've owned.
They're excellent for my main taste of rock music with great separation and balance with bass being there but not overpowering.
Great headphones. A lot of air. Chic bass. Highs flawlessly clean and picky.
They produce a terrible audio quality like canned wasps.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Denon AH-D7200 Headphone

They are big and heavy. But the cohesion of voice and instruments is really at the very top, so I can ignore their weight.
They weigh almost 400g. For the sound, they produce, I think they lighter than it cold be.
This is some big headphones, but it's easy to sit with them for all day.
Headband is a bit hard on the crown of the head so they are uncomfortable.
Headphones with their size are not suitable for everyday mobile use.

Audio-Technica ATH-W5000 Raffinato Series High-Fidelity Closed-Back Headphones

This headphones goes onto your head despite the apparent bulk.
They sit comfortably without any undue weight or pressure.
They're so comfortable and light so it's worth the grand price tag.
Landing is impeccable. The weight of the headphones is not felt on the head.
A worthy competitor in the world of sound. Very decent shape of the headphones and a nice size and weight.

What customers say about "Features"

Denon AH-D7200 Headphone

They look incredible so overall i'm more than happy with my purchase.
They are very comfortable to wear and provides great suond.
With the way these sound and are built I honestly don’t think I’ll be looking for another headphone for a while.
Its a fine headphone and probably the best all-rounder closed back I've heard.
I can’t imagine that Denon makes money at all, especially when comparing the sound quality of KH and the materials used.

Audio-Technica ATH-W5000 Raffinato Series High-Fidelity Closed-Back Headphones

These headphones are perfectly able to do Hi Res, can handle a Chord Hugo 2 DAC/Headphone amp with ease.
Leather ear pads are pleasing. Do not sweat. No discomfort.
Comfortable design (if you adjust the headband and choose a fit) - ideal for home use. Beautiful design.
Noise isolation almost none. The sound is like open headphones.
Not the most convenient design of the headband - by default, the headphones do not fit well with the upper part of the cups, which causes tonal disbalance.
