Do you think the Denons would work a little better there, or there probably isn't much difference?
It sucks when a limited-time offer like the RE2 comes and tries to force a decision out of you!

Funny, but I gave away my 551s to a friend to use at the gym. I should ask her. But the RE2s come with an extension cable (as do the 551s), and I think the light plastic driver housing is more gym-friendly. That's not to sat the 551s are a poor choice for the gym either. Tough call. The RE2s are a more subtle, refined sound signature, and might need a little more juice to be driven. But I like that more that sound more than the in your face sound the Denons deliver. Again, just my two cents.
