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.

Bowers & Wilkins P9 Signature HiFi Over Ear Headphones

Sound quality is superb, detail retrieval are as good as other headphones in my collection.
These are very expensive headphones, but you get what you pay for, build quality is very high and premium materials are used.
Sound is actually very very nice and fun. If you are an audiophile who really enjoys flat and neutral sounds then this product is not for you.
Bass is very good punchy hard and solid but not overwhelming to the point it masks over the other details.
The revealing, open and smooth sound. Quite an airy treble for closed headphones.

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.

Bowers & Wilkins P9 Signature HiFi Over Ear Headphones

The build quality is superb, weight - not as bad as you'd think bearing mind they weight nearly 1/2 kg, and audio quality is ridiculously good.
The ear pads are soft and very light over the side of your head.
Weight is ok, evenly distributed on my head.
Sound quality is amazing, the building quality is second to none but they are heavy.
The build quality comes at the expense of extra 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.

Bowers & Wilkins P9 Signature HiFi Over Ear Headphones

Great sound with suitable sources; beautiful quality materials and construction.
The comfort is okay but not the best. I have a huge head and it just about covers my ear comfortably.
The quality of the materials are the best. They exude luxury. Comfort for my ears over several hours of listening. I don’t feel fatigued.
Removing the ear cup to change cables is also a bit of a faff.
Expensive, sound quality not as expected for the price. Closed construction so ears can get hot.
