Hiya
Hmmm, compared with the C700... well, they cost almost 3 x as much as the C700s so they'd better sound better
The main difference to my ears is in the soundstage and the midrange. Soundstage is [size=small]HUGE[/size] in comparison. That takes nothing away from the Denons, since they also have a decent soundstage for canalphones, but the Triples are in another league in that respect.
They're similar to the Klipsch Image as far as soundstage is concerned, like a live concert is going on in your head, it's very addictive!
The
midrange - imagine the Denon midrange, and then pull it down 2 inches and bring it forward by an inch, and that sort of explains where it is! It's smoother than the Denons, yet still very clear and detailed.
I can't really decide on the treble. They're both nice, but If I had to choose one, I guess it would be the Denon treble. I definitely have a soft spot for it, and never found it harsh in the slightest, just very lively and sparkly. The Triple treble (??) - is very nice though. It doesn't stand out to my ears, but there has been the odd occasion when it's suddenly got out of control (noted by Channum in the TF10 appreciation thread), and pierced my ears quite painfully - but it's happened so rarely, it's not a big deal.
Bass... well, before I bought them, I read a million different views about the bass: too much, too light, too overpowering, bass-shy, etc etc - but to my ears, the bass is pretty perfect. It's more 'weighty' than the Denons, but I think the amount is about the same. One thing to note is they sound different with both my daps. They're more neutral with the Zune and warmer with the Sony. But they sound fantastic with both of them. As for whether they're worth the upgrade, I'd say definitely. The Denons kept me happy for nine months - longer than
any other earphones (which says something about how much I liked them), but the Triples are getting the most use now. As for comfort, they're both fine for me. Very different fittings, but equally comfortable.
I prefer the Denon 'magic' tangle-free cable though
