As soon as you open the box with the Denon logo, it immediately becomes clear that you are dealing with Hi-Fi headphones.\u00a0Since the AH-D9200 is a wired model, obviously the manufacturer has taken care of several connection options.\u00a0The package includes two cables – 3 and 1.3 meters.\u00a0The 3m cable offers a 6.3mm jack (for connecting to home audio components), and the 1.3m cable offers a 3.5mm mini jack (for amplifiers, players, etc.).<\/p>\n
Denon AH-D9200 design<\/h3>\n
Undoubtedly, the D9200 earphones made from natural wood make an unforgettable impression.\u00a0Instead of the so-called “zebrano” wood you might have seen in the D5200, or walnut wood like the D7200, Denon decided to use Japanese bamboo for the new flagship.<\/p>\n
It is a light-colored material with small dark inclusions (fine-pored wood).\u00a0According to the manufacturer, this choice is due not only to Denon’s love of Japanese traditions, but also to the acoustic properties of this material: bamboo helps to minimize unwanted resonances and provides a brighter sound due to the high density and hardness of wood.<\/p>\n
In terms of looks and design, these headphones deserve to be called elegant.\u00a0A combination of simple form and unobtrusive accents, without unnecessary embellishments.\u00a0As a result, the user sees a set of headphones in front of him, in which everything is thought out to the smallest detail, and every detail plays an important role.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n When you touch the headband and ear cushions of the D9200 headphones, you can feel how soft and supple the material is sheepskin.\u00a0We will also pay attention to the careful stitching: an additional charm and zest of the leather upholstery lies in the quilted seams.\u00a0Recall also that the leather trim retains its shape better and provides the necessary level of ventilation.<\/p>\n In addition to the aesthetically pleasing bamboo housing, the earbuds also feature die-cast aluminum metal structures and polished steel attachments where the ear cups meet the headband itself.<\/p>\n Materials of the same high quality are used in the internal headphone system.\u00a0The 50mm full-range drivers are made of nanofiber material for particularly detailed signal reproduction with minimal delay and distortion.<\/p>\n The D9200 headphones come standard with 50mm FreeEdge drivers (Denon exclusive).\u00a0This technology is based on a special fixation of the drivers, namely the use of ring panels, which helps to reduce annoying resonances and vibrations, which positively affects the reproduction accuracy.\u00a0In addition, the manufacturer decided to add exceptionally strong magnets made of a special alloy of neodymium, iron and boron to the system.\u00a0This alloy is intended to provide a lower overall sound distortion.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The supplied OFC copper cables have a replaceable fabric jacket and additional silver ferrules provide corrosion protection (+1 to the list of technical features).\u00a0The 3m cable with a large plug is designed for use with Hi-Fi systems, while the second cable can be easily used with portable multimedia devices, given its length and 3.5mm jack.<\/p>\n According to Denon, the transmitted frequency range of these headphones is from 5 Hz to (dizzying) 56 kHz.\u00a0Compared to the D5200 model, the D9200 provides an additional 16 kHz dedicated to high frequencies only.\u00a0The impedance ranges from 23 to 24 ohms, which also makes this unit a good choice for connecting to low power devices (preamps) such as smartphones, iPads or media players.\u00a0The maximum SPL we recorded during this test was 96dB.<\/p>\n The D9200 uses custom ear cups to rotate even after putting on the headphones.\u00a0On the one hand, this is an advantage in terms of customization.\u00a0On the other hand, this can lead to unwanted sliding and poor fit, as well as discomfort during head rotation.\u00a0However, thanks to the memory foam padding, the ear cushions and the padded headband significantly reduce pressure on the temples and back of the head.<\/p>\n The reasonably flexible headband rim can grow (and shrink) in size thanks to the so-called “memory function” that retains the last selected size.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n What’s more, the D9200 weighs just 385 grams (without cable, 465 with cable), largely due to the use of materials such as bamboo and aluminum, which are relatively light compared to other common finishes.\u00a0This gives the user an even greater level of comfort.\u00a0In practice, a 3m cable provides ample flexibility and space to move indoors, while a shorter 1.35m cable is more designed for travel use.<\/p>\n When it comes to connecting cables, there is no difficulty and no need to use an adapter, since in our daily life, most headphones have cables with mini-jack plugs.\u00a0Again, Denon shows how sophisticated technologies can be offered to customers and ensured ease of use.<\/p>\n If you ask for a description of the sound reproduction in the D9200, we will answer like this: \u201cUnobtrusive, smooth and open.\u00a0Authoritative treble.\u00a0Natural sound without distortion. ”<\/p>\n These headphones can handle high-resolution files effortlessly, providing the depth and volume you need.\u00a0At the same time, the extended frequency range (due to the broadening of the high frequency spectrum) allows for a more detailed sound picture.<\/p>\n Don’t jump to conclusions, the D9200 is incredibly good at handling bass too.\u00a0These Denon headphones perfectly reproduce intermediate elements such as sub-bass and mid-to-high transitions.\u00a0Even at high volumes with bass boost, you will not experience perceptible distortion that will ruin your listening pleasure.<\/p>\n The D9200 delivers differentiated mids ranging from bright treble to warm bass.\u00a0The result is truly three-dimensional sound that, when combined with a massive treble headroom, creates a stereo sound effect and adds depth.<\/p>\n Depending on the source of the sound (this is most evident on low power portable devices), elements such as female vocals may stand out slightly due to slight blurring at the upper end of the frequency range, but this is not so obvious during listening.<\/p>\n In short, these headphones never stray from the path of premium sound.\u00a0However, those who expect an unforgettable experience after the first use may not be satisfied enough.\u00a0The truth is, these headphones do sound good, but nothing more.<\/p>\n The smooth and natural sound produced by the D9200 features a balanced frequency response without any signs of distracting resonances in the intermediate stages that can occur with simpler headphones.<\/p>\n These flagships also work well with weaker preamps due to their low impedance, providing high volume levels.\u00a0However, the sound absorption and external noise cancellation are not quite up to the standards that you can get in other Hi-Fi headphones.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The D9200 should delight fans of quality sound.\u00a0The sub-bass of these headphones will create atmospheric soundscapes for genres such as hip-hop and dubstep, while open mids give a smoother sound of rock and metal.\u00a0The detailed high frequency mapping will breathe new life into jazz and classical music, embellishing them with velvety finishes in all parts of the frequency range that will definitely appeal to most listeners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Denon AH-D9200 is the Japanese manufacturer’s flagship closed-back headphone targeting the Hi-Fi and high-end segment.\u00a0Durable
