The best headphones are not suitable for portable players, but Denon has made an exception in the anniversary model, the A100, which marks the Denon 100-year anniversary.

One associates like earplugs with portable players, but it's not everyone who feels that a plug in each ear is a very comfortable way to listen to music. Therefore, many headphones, which admittedly takes more space, but that may be more comfortable to wear on your head over time. Lightweight headphones like the classic Koss PortaPro is a cheap and good solution. But they are open and sounds delicious, both in and out, then the Denon AH-D510 or Shure SRH240 be a better choice. When you get closed, compact earmuffs and even better sound. While the mute outside noise better.
When one has good sound in your ears when you're on the go, to 600-700 million. But there are always some that are even more picky on sound quality. Such as not blink to spend hundred Euro on large headphones. For home use. For outdoor use, the selection of large headphones severely limited. This is because the expensive headphones are designed for headphone amps to sound good. Besides, they are often too large, heavy and especially heavy powered (low sensitivity - high resistance) to an iPod can get sound in them.
Denon's most expensive headphones, the D5000 and D7000 NOK 6,000 to $ 10,000 is definitely not suitable for portable players. These are headphones for connoisseurs and only for home use. An easier and less expensive model called the D2000 to 3000, however, well suited, but they are large, and 350 grams heavy.
Perfect for portable
The option can be found in the AH-A100 4000 respectively. As is the anniversary model in Denon headphone series. Here you get the same sterling quality as the more expensive models, but in a more compact and much lighter package than D2000 which it related. The weight is moderate 195 grams, and the closed ear cups on the A100 - in mahogany must know - is far more compact than D2000/5000/7000, but still covers well around the ears. The headphones come in a box with fabric lined interior marked with Denon anniversary logo.
The ear cushions are made of synthetic leather and adds nicely rounded ears, while the low weight makes them ideal for portable use. With a sensitivity of 101 dB and low resistance of 32 ohms, they can be used successfully on most portable players. Denon has kept a relatively short cable of 1.3 meters, but there is an extension cable of 2.2 meters which is handy to have when you plug in the A100 amp at home.
Sound Quality
With low weight and moderate pressure on the head is the A100 very comfortable. They take up little space when they put in a bag, the bells can be rotated so that they can be packed flat. Inside the Denon has used 50 mm membranes, driven by small, powerful neodymiummagneter, and the house as mentioned in enclosed mahogany clocks.
4000 is a lot for a pair of headphones, but I am inclined to conclude that the Denon A100 is worth every penny. It is not certain that they are substantially better than D2000 which costs less, but they are far more convenient, and despite its size, provides the dynamic and potent bass-like ear cups were much larger than they are. The cello of Antony and The Johnsons version of Dylan's classic Knockin 'On Heaven's Door, often drowning in the sound on many headsets. Not here, where the shredding of the resin on the thick strings are highly instrumental in giving the instrument striking realism. The headphones do not shame on electric bass or drums either. With massive weight and body reproduced in drums Sades The Moon And The Sky, so that one feels ear cushion massage the scalp.
It does not shame the vocals either. Englestemmen to Alison Krauss or gravel vocals of Townes Van Zandt is rendered with a sparkling rally where almost every little detail, and the faintest breath appears as the clock clear in the warm generous sound. That is balanced, open and then stripped of all sorts of faults that it is null and void to put your finger on.
Denon AH-A100 is a stunning music conveys, whether it's an iPhone or a multi-million pound amplifier to drive headphones. Detailed Judgement is brilliant, while sound is homogeneous and rich. With potent bass and compact, lightweight earmuffs, they are in many ways the perfect compromise. Refined sound in high-end class, wrapped in gorgeous woodwork - and so good that not only want them to, with those can be anywhere
