I have a feeling it has a lot to do with the hip dac 2. Darker sounding dac..

Hi Apski, I've both, 1st I bought the DT 1770 then the 7200. I do confirm it has way more bass ! The only thing is that the 7200 has very low medium.

Hi Nick, I pulled the trigger on the Denon 7200 a month ago and i can't go back to the DT-1770. The Denon's ruined my old 'fun' headphone, at first when i got them i was disappointed with the Denon 7200 as it didn't have that much thump like the DT 1770 but the quality is insane (god-like)! I guess i had to get used to their sound. Going back to the DT-1770 it just sound like a bad subwoofer very boomy, what a disappointment! I really thought the DT-1770 could hold on their own. The sound of the Denon's is very open for a closed back, compared to the DT-1770 that is playing sound in your head. Man i can't believe i liked that sound listening back to my DT-1770 pro.

Thanks for the heads-up this comment convinced me to buy them, i have 0 regrets. This is like those hidden headphones nobody talk about because there is no hype behind them but it's worth ever penny i spend on them!

I agree…the more i listen the more i like them.

Don't make me miss them.

Apparently Denon has a new woodie coming up... It will be released at the end of 2016.






It will be available in December and cost GBP 599 (about USD 860).

There is a 50mm Denon Free Edge Driver within the new headphones to enable pure piston motion for what the company says will deliver superior sound, and the wood is also said to enhance the sound quality.






Additionally, the AH-D7200s feature three dimensional-cut artificial leather ear-pads, a 7N purity cable and a 3.5mm detachable cable system. There is an Apple remote and microphone cable included and a cable jack floating system to stop cable vibration noise is also on board.

I tried them, and thought they sounded a little tinny. What did you think?

I don't think I've ever heard someone describe the AH-D7200 as "tinny." To my ear they were anything but; warm to the point of being dark.

Can’t say i agree with that statement at all. Possibly the least tinny headphones i have ever heard.

 

[jhoefen]

Not tinny…wonderful base.

Currently listening to Metallica (The Black Album) on mine and "tinny" they are not

ok so comparing d7200 against dt990 pro 250 ohm the 7200 do everything dt990 do but more clear and produces finer details Absolutely d7200 not dark it's bright and warm at the same time, Since I got it I stopped listening to dt990

We must have vastly different ears, because I would never describe the 7200 as bright. Warm, yes, but not bright.

Completely agree. If anything I would say its very calm in that region where some headphones are bright.

Part of the reason why I like it and why I can listen to it all day long without fatigue.

OK what do you classify DT990 ? bright or dark?

Definitely bright right? ok so 7200 has the same brightness as DT990
I'm not saying 100% percent bright no, it's like 50% bright and 50% warm, but not bright in a bad way no it's bright in a good way and this help to produce fine details and clear music

I feel like you got a dud 7200. Might wanna exchange if yo still have the receipts

 

[rids57]

The highs on my D7200 are quite rolled off and sound nothing like the DT990 that's been relegated to the cupboard. I also have a DT1990 hanging on the same stand as my D7200 and they are complete opposites when it comes to the highs, the Denon is definitely not bright. You sure it's not a D9200? Those are pretty bright.
