What's this Control Wheel they mention on the Urban Raver lineup?  First I've heard of it, maybe I missed it in the thread?  They mentioned it on the D400 as well that lights up blue.
I might be more than a little disappointed that they are putting lights in headphones over at Denon.

My guess is that it is for controlling your ipod or something...but the lights part and controls I don't ever care for, something else to break and I don't use them most of the time and I certaintly wouldn't want them on a nice pair of higher end headphones messing up the looks and getting in the way and all...but I think those are aimed at a different crowd in general and all...

"The AH-D400 ($399), the top of the Urban Raver line, resembles the D600, but adds a blue-LED-illuminated control wheel. The preproduction model we checked out had a LOT of low end."
 
I guess I saw the blue section on the headphone and read "blue LED illuminated control wheel" and thought that blue ring was an LED-lit section of the headphone.  I really hope this control wheel is not something that lights up on the headphones.  That's what had me a little worried.

The Music Maniac AH-D600 looks pretty cool to me. It's a very different style than the current models, but if the sound quality is there, I'll definitely be getting those. Not like there will be much of a choice, seeing as the current models are actually going up in price.

me too the 7100 is too much...

I just can't get over how ugly they are. Placebo may make them sound like crap to me lol .

I dislike all of the new Denons. They are going mainstream and giving them Beat like bling which I do not care for.

Well that's it guys, Denon has gone mainstream!  It's all coming together.  December 21 2012 truly is the end.

Just bought a pair of D2000's last month and the right earphone is already dead Anyone else experience this? I've had this happen to crappy headphones in the past but they usually last at least a year or two. Makes me wary of purchasing any more Denon products.
 
Amazon still accepts a return but they'll only give me a refund instead of a replacement and the price of the D2000s has since gone up by $50. Anyone know how the Denon warranty process works? 
 
edit: plugged them back and turned my music down really low and both ears started working again. Turned the volume up and the right ear died again. Guess this pair is defective..

Well my Denon 5000s never gave such an issue. I bet you it's just an isolated case. There is warranty for that very reason.

I had some Sennheisers like that, the HD540RII. I sent them in to Sennheiser and they sent me a pair back that was great, not sure but I think it was just a loose connection. I would make an inquiry to Denon.

These both. Seems surely to be fixed by them.
