Comparing to shures I wouldn't call C700 highs recessed - shures have much sweeter mids but highs are pretty recessed compared to denons

Lately I've decided the C700 sound their best with Complys T400 foam tips. Anyone else with me on this?

The highs are smoother, bass deeper, and of course isolation improves just by changing the tips. I still like my other IEM just a little better, but this reminds me there a reason I've kept these longer than any of my other phones.

Yes, I agree so far. The default Denon tips are a joke.

Hey guys and gals, anyone knows possible successor to these awesome earphones or a higher end IEM from Denon?

I've been keeping an eye out for months!!
I know they bought out some new earphones a while ago, but there were no upgrades to the C700/C751. It must be TIME for a successor!

They bought some new earphones a while ago? Inform me please. And it IS time for a successor! I like those c751 so much that i'm planing to order additional two pairs cos i've found them cheap (considering i paid nearly 200€ for mine a year ago and now they're half of it). But we STILL need a successor

There was an AH-C452 and C252 (the ones I remember), but definitely no successor to the C700/751

 

[NajoBB]

Ah yes, those two. Nothing special. I want AH-C1000 or something

Hi everyone,

Just got my new AH-C751s today and couldn't wait to give them a try.

I have been listening to super.fi 4's for some time now, so I can't help but compare the two - I am using both with ComplyFoam T400 tips

1) The soundstage of the Denons is definitely wider with instruments/vocals better positioned spatially
2) Denons clearly have a much stronger (still very clear) bass, which struck me as dominating the mix
3) Detail is very good
4) The vocals appear to be quite a bit recessed though as if hiding behind the instruments

Did someone experience the same upon the first listen? Will this be cured with adequate burn-in? Or should I start worrying?

Thank you for you advice

1) yup - the stage is definately nice and wider
2) the bass is *very* strong. I found it a very pleasant change from my ER-4Ps but at the same time they can be overwhelming. Mine did bed down after a while
3) mmm - not so impressed with the detail myself. Especially when I compared with my new NE-7Ms which have much more detail (although this is unamped...)
4) didn't notice this myself.

Good headphones though

i find the vocals very recessed on them, but then i tend to like lots of vocals, the denons do do them very nicely i just wish they were as forward as the highs and bass is

Lately, the bass on the C751 (with stock tips) has sounded terrible with complex metal. The double bass, especially when played fast, sound like little clicks in the midst of the riffs. Would you say that the bass on the C751 improves when using the Comply Foam T-400 tips?

I can't comment on complex metal, as I mostly listen to electronic and acoustic music. However, I tried the stock tips straight away and the bass sounded terrible - lots of it, but kind of muddled. With Comply Foam tips it's more punchy and focussed with complex bass parts in electronic music sounding very distinct - hope that helps

I find comply foam tips to be more comfortable than the stock ones as well - they soften in your ear canal (body heat) and you just forget you are wearing the Denons

I've just replied to someone's interest in buying a pair of C700/C751, but if I don't sell them I'll definitely have to try the Comply T-400. More punchy and focused is exactly what I have been looking for...

A nice forward amp will bring out the vocals with C700 and smooth out the highs a little, like Meier Headsix or Nuforce Icon Mobile.
