zero issue with comfort here.  For on-ear, these are super comfy.  There isn't much clamping force and the large ear pads are very soft.

I the only older Denon I now own is the D7000 so I can't comment on how the D340 compares to other similar priced older Denons.

When will your reviews of the new Denon line be up?

I am *very* anxious to hear more of your thoughts on these headphones.  I have a set of Harman/Kardon's CL headphones, and have very little to complain about sound-wise, but there's enough clamping force that for me they become quite uncomfortable after about 45 minutes.  I'm hoping the combination of larger, ear-encompassing pads and less force is a winner.  But Denon's products have been hit-or-miss for me.  I've loved just about all of their IEM models, and the AH-D1001 was a winner.  The D1100 sounded 95% brilliant to me, but the bass was too obtrusive in enough of my music that it just didn't work out.

 

I've been staring at Amazon's page for these the past week, tempted to pull the trigger but without any reviews out anywhere I just can't bring myself to dish out the money.

I can tell you that the D340 is a few steps above HK CL in terms of refinement, clarity, bass impact & soundstage.  The D340 is a little loose on the bass, but it should be the deal breaker.  Comfort is very high for on-ear design.  The D340 review will most likely show up in TONE and not on my YT channel.  Keep an eye out over there.

Have you tried modding them like this suppose to reduce the bass down to more normal levels and balance out the sound.

OK, heard them briefly today, not impressed, the MDR-1 are better and more comfortable, but both are no match soundwise to the excellent K167.
