Denon AH-D1200 portable over-ear impressions, appreciation, and discussion thread.

Denon AH-D1200 opts for more budget-friendly materials which lead to a budget-friendly price. At $200, the headphones feature ear cups of hard-grade materials in a minimal design. The collapsible headphone is available in either black or white with a corresponding diecast-aluminum hangar.
GO FOR THIS

Sound impression of these after 120h burnin:
Slightly warm with good details in the mids, guitars have quite a zing to them and speed. Drums also sound nice, good cymbal extension when using nfb 11.28 :D
Low end wise I would say not bass heavy. but more accurate bass.
high end vocals are centered in front of your head, with good definition. Not fatiguing to listen too i think, Can easily listen to these for hours without feeling tired. Feels like they have quite a amount of detail available. Soundstage is pretty narrow I think although you don't really get that "sound in your head thing, there is some width to the sound.
Nice build quaility, have tossed these in my bag with only the included cloth bag and they are fine. Isolation wise they are decent, blocks out office AC but not people talking, but with music you don't notice it. Sound leakage is non existent /minimal I think Have only tried them in office environment so far.
Impressions done with Audio-gd nfb 11.28 ESS ES9028 dac.
and FiiO BTR3 with iphone 7 using AAC.
I would say that these needs an amp / dap to bring out the most in them, listening with the nfb 11.28 compared to btr3. Also waiting on Hiby R3 to have better sound than fiio bluetooth amp for these.

Can't believe I didn't hear about these... they look sublime. Going by the minimal activity in this thread I guess I'm out of luck in finding impressions versus the Denon AH-MM400?

Well, this product is still new with limited release and took too long to finally make production after the Denon AH-D1100 was typically seen as having an inferior sound to the Denon AH-D1001, bringing down demand of its form and its urgency for a successor. Also, the transition for Denon to move away from relying on Fostex and make it’s own headphones contributed to the delays.

With all-metal portable models coming out, like the Campfire Audio Cascade, I would like to see an all-metal Denon AH-D1200 come out as a special model with an increased price that would compete with Cascade.

@pbui44 I agree with you about an all-metal construction. My pair of MM400 have had light use by portable standards but there's already signs of wear with some cracked plastic. Not great by what were originally £350 headphones...

Well, at least the cracks are not around screws or even parts that people can see. Still, an all-metal Denon AH-D1200 could sell cheaper than a CA Cascade and have it’s comfort favored over the Cascade, even at a premium price of $500. Vegan buyers who want a sturdier chassis would definitely buy it.

Got new from Japan for a little under $200.00 two weeks ago. Remind me of my Sony MDR-1A, with less boomy bass. Smooth across the spectrum. Comfortable with any head size and it fit over my big ears. Due to similarity, since I'd invested so much in my Sony, I'll be selling these. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/denon-ah-d1200.891327

According to this graph it is clear the sound signature has changed quite a bit compared to previous models.

Any more impressions on those? I really like the build quality and comfort as I've checked them at a denon store. I am looking for headphones that can play from playstation 4 controller but also mainly for pc use with e10k. Music, edm, soundtracks, movies. Looking for fun headphone which also sounds good.

For their price, there is m50x, 7506, takstar pro82 (or it's cooler master revision), hyperx cloud(pro80) and many more models, so the competition is stiff
