I have owned a number of Denton and Focal. I would choose Focal of the two. While it certainly depends on taste… I had to buy a big high powered amp to get Denon’s bass under control. Focal are easy to drive, well balanced and detailed… I think a very high quality safe bet to start with. Most of us end up with many pair.
Choosing and buying headphones
Dear.
My name is Sergiy.I am from Ukraine.
Help me choose full-size headphones for the player Astell&Kern Kann Alpha up to 1000$.There are two main requirements for headphones: comfort and sound quality.
It is possible to buy headphones for www.audiogon.com and send this item to my friend in USA who will send it to me then? Is it possible?
Possible options:
1. Denon AH-D7200 725$
2. Dan Clark Audio Aeon 2 575$
3. Focal Elear 550$
Or it is better not to risk it and buy new ones from the store.( https://audio46.com/ ,https://www.moon-audio.com/ )
Best Regards

Massdrop may not ship these worldwide, but if they do, you should consider these: https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-x-focal-elex-headphones The Elex is a modified Elear. I have not heard the other headphones you mentioned, but I have about a dozen headphones including much more expensive ones like LCD4, LCDXC, HD800, and Sony MDR-Z1R and the Elex more than holds its own. It is very neutral, dynamic, detailed, and comfortable. |
I had the Sennheiser 650’s for years until I upgraded. They are popular but for me comfortable and sounded good. Not as heavy on the head as some are. Now they’ve been updated to the HD660S model. Moon Audio carries them, you can inquire with Moon about compatibility with your player. They’re in your price range. If you can, try them on in person to test for comfort and see if they sound good to you. Take your player. https://www.moon-audio.com/sennheiser-hd-660s-headphones.html |
