Digital camera reviews of Denon AH-NC732 Active Noise Cancelling Headphone
Digital camera Review: A Denon is a Denon not a Bose...
Summary: 3 Stars
My main criteria before buying the headphone was:
1. On Ear Comfort (not comfortable with in-ear (closed) headphones; Bose Triport over the ear phone hurts on wearing with specs and wife took away the other Bose earplugs I had)
2. Noise Reduction (used to fly a lot in those days)
I own these headphones for about 3 months now and my impression is summarized in the title. I obviously bought this because I didn't want to spend 300 bucks on the Bose 'on the ear' phones. This seemed like a good deal (specially at about 50% off the regular price). Unfortunately once I got them I realized why they they so heavily discounted. They are worth the discounted price only (if not lesser).
The 'On Ear' design claim by Denon is a misnomer (atleast for some people) because unlike the Bose on ear set which has a full foam headpiece, these have foam 'cups'. As a result they straddle an uncomfortable position neither being a 'On Ear' nor being an 'Over ear'. The don't sit 'Over your ear' (specially if you have smallish ears) Part of my ear goes in the cup and touches the plastic inside which become painful in a short while. It's a 'one star' from design perspective. 40$ Sony noise canceling sets are more comfortable to wear.
Sound Quality again is okay. Mid range could be better, Bass is weak. Overall a disappointment.
Noise Canceling is good. Fortunately my 'flying schedule' has changed and I don't fly that often any more. Managed to use it only in 1 flight and the noise reduction was nice. Manages to reduce office 'din' also (flip side, you don't hear you boss walking up behind you). Noise reduction ability is what pushes this from a 2 star to a 3 star.
The included case is funny (asymmetric, as in the headphones snuggle in only one way) but functional. Helps if you toss it in your office backpack.
The dual sized cords are appreciated, but they feel very thin and cheap.
I would suggest try it out first at a store if possible to check the fit before buying. Noise cancellation is it's strength rather than the sound (I would appreciate it if it were the other way round). So if you are a frequent flier and it fits you well, you will have use for it.
