Denon D7100?!
Aug 23, 2012 at 12:11 AM Post #814 of 1,920
Any good reviews on this headphone? Interested in hearing about the sound signature. And how they compare to the D7000 as well as the TH900. :D

Have ordered the D7100 along with the new, Burson Soloist Headphone Amplifier.
Can compare the D7100 with D5000, when they do arrive..

Here's a measurement comparison (including FR), and IMO, it doesn't look good for the 7100.
 
 
BTW, looks like the D7100 measurements are up on innerfidelity.....and ugh

Yea. Just saw that. It doesn't look great, but I also like the W5000. So I'm not going to judge it too much without hearing it. There's a chance I could love it despite it looking quite wonky.

I AM SO GLAD that I just ordered my D5000s. Confirmed my purchase and they are not even here yet. I really dont like the look of these nor do I like what I am hearing about them on reviews.

Same here!, was close to order a pair of 7100, but went with TH900 in the last sec.. =P

All I can say is "Called it".

Aside from bass roll off below 70 Hz and some ringing in the 300 Hz square wave I don't see much wrong with it.  The 30Hz square wave goes below zero but it's not going to be very loud at that frequency.

They should be priced at $178.99 and be placed next to the Beats as an alternative. Seriously, they suck.

That's just appalling, WTH Denon? Okay, well at least there's the TH900. It costs more but apparently it's the true heir to the "fun headphone" throne.

Aside from all the rest, which is rather poor. Look at the THD numbers, they're completely unreasonable. Just nasty.

The only good thing I see in the 7100s FR is that it extends crazy deep, no dropoff even at 10Hz!
 
But damn, the more I look at the 7100s data the more happy I am with my 7000s. :D
 
Looking at this, it seems the 7100s have the most in common with the beats, it seems those saying they were just expensive beats headphones may have been right. (Look at the FR and 30Hz square especially.)
