Official Denon AH-C700 Comparisons/Impressions

[outlandos]

I've done some research and found out a couple of things:

Their will be two new types:

C350 -> C351
C700 -> C751

New C751's go for €140, just under $200.

I did email Denon UK if they know when we can expect them in Europe, hope to receive a replay by tomorrow.

Cheers!

I bought Honus' C700s since I'm a bit of a canalphone freak. Not too long ago I had about 5 canalphones. I've sold most off and down to two but when I saw the C700s up for sale I couldn't resist.

I'll provide a quick review on this thread when I have them.

Warrior - would be interested to know what you think of them. The one thing I've noticed is that no one has said they are c**p yet. . . (which is a good sign!) I will be trying mine on a flight on Wednesday, and though I know they're not isolating like the Shures, I'm curious to know whether they block out enough of the plane rumble to be acceptable. I'll post back with the 'results'

My reseach led me to believe that C700 and C751 will be the same drivers.
The only difference is the lenght of the cord. C700 is 1.2m and C751 will be 0.5m+ 0.8m extension, sort of like Shure new types SE series....Lets see.

Good. I'm happy to hear that, since I'm set with the C700.

C751 has a carrying case too,C700 has not

[antonyfirst]

Interesting. I'm very curious to know how many people actually use a carrying case. For exemple, I'm used to have my Altec hanging from the shirt clip, all the time. I feel it's more convenient than packing them in a case each time I don't use them.

I dont use it, but I like the 0.5 + 0.8M cable thing!

Maybe the C751 also has replacement tips, unlike the C700

[jinx20001]

yeh replacement tips is a no brainer and a case,maybe thats why they had a re think so soon,because for these to be regarded as high quality these are essential extras
