Review: Best for sound quality - As you will see by my previous reviews I am gradually reviewing the low budget headphones. When planning the review of these headphones I felt a bit conflicted because these weren’t designed to be budget headphones. However, the current price fitted with the price range I was testing (£5-£8). The sound on these are excellent, up to this point the Sony ex110’s had the most well defined sound. These headphones surpass the Sony’s representing the music very well with deep bass when needed and clear lighter notes. These are very much headphones to appreciate your music. The test track I used sounded phenomenal. The buds are light and the fit is ok though a little bit loose. I wouldn’t say these are a great option for gym or exercise (Gummy plus are a better fit). The build quality of these are very nice for £7 (but not so great for the original £24 price tag). They certainly look higher end. But the chrome ends feel like coated plastic so while they look nice it probably won’t last. The cable is a bit thin but it has a corner jack which is a nice addition. The packaging of these headphones is by far the best of the headphones I have reviewed and in the box is a well thought out headphone wrap, a shirt clip and spare tips. Overall For sound these are the best headphones I have reviewed in this bracket (£5-£8). But the fit limits the flexibility for use (gym etc) and time will tell on how well they will last. It looks like I have two primary headphones now the Gummy Plus for rugged day to day use and these to relax and enjoy every bit of the music. Headphones are one bit of technology which is highly personal. It appears that one persons "awesome" is another's "total £$%£". I feel this is partly due to music taste as I can see some headphones are suited for a particular music type rather than all round performance. I personally have a wide music taste ranging from Dubstep, Classical, Punk, rock, Ska, Pop to Acoustic so my requirements for headphones are that they are all round performers. My headphones have experienced death by kitten after 2+ years of use. Unfortunately, they were very good headphones which are now obsolete. So it has a been a trial by "Nails on a chalk board" finding alternatives on a tight budget. So I have decided to review all my recent headphone purchases to hopefully help others avoid my audio pain. To ensure fairness I used the same track to test all the headphones which is Versus official music vol. 1 because it covers Bass, Mid range and Treble.
Review: There may be better options at £30 - For me these headphones must be worn over-the-ear or else lack bass and lose isolation. I had to press them firmly in to get a seal. The Denon AHC260 are decent. They are far better than the famous soundmagic PL30; their price competitor. Unlike the PL30 they don't have a shouty frequency spike in the low midrange or lack treble. Many of the recommended headphones on the head-fi IEM mega-thread have this issue due to the reviewer's taste for low-volume listening. The Denons have emphasised bass and treble which necessitates turning the volume a little lower; for those of us with normal ears. They will be much too sharp for the treble sensitive. The isolation is good, just about good enough for the Tube which is the ultimate isolation test. A bit too much for safely walking about, however. If you can turn treble and bass down a bit you'll be even more pleased. I usually listen to hifi grade headphones (Etymotics HF2) and was looking for something for friends that didn't cost as much. These are good but the etymotics sell at £65 with a two year warranty that is honoured even for cable-wear (so long as you buy from an approved seller). At £30 it doesn't make sense to buy the Denons although their audio is surprisingly not so far off the etymotics. They do have one advantage over the etymotics which is strong bass; I have to equalise in some bass on the etymotics which rules out using an ipod as the equaliser is soooo awful (serious distortion). They are a comfortable fit. They don't penetrate as some do. I only tried the largest tips (though I have normal ears). I expect the smaller tips would work as well but sit deeper in my ears. I'll try that and update this review sometime since audio can change with distance for the ear. However at their new price of £15 they are a bargain. Let's hope the price stays that low. I got the silver ones for £10 and have purchased several more sets as presents.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really Good Sound relative to the price
*by D***E on 3 January 2013*

In life you generally get what you pay for. You choose the very best you can afford or you choose the cheapest bargain to save money. The "sound" you get from earbuds/headphones is very much a matter of individual taste. My usual domestic headphones are Grado SR80 priced around £120. At this price the sound is stunning, so I do have critical ears. I wanted a pair of cheap insertable earbuds that would equal the sound of apple earbuds (for less money) and crucially stay fixed in my ear when I'm out and about. The Denons cost me £15.99. They fit snugly in my ear with good natural isolation and they don't fall out. Cable noise is just noticable but better than most earbuds I've tried. The cable is a bit light but the right angled headphone socket is great SOUND QUALITY is very good but not exceptional. At the price I'm delighted with the sound. Bass is good and reasonably controlled. Speech sounds natural and realistic. The higher frequencies are a little splashy but not harsh. The Denons are no match for £120 Grados or £100 Senheisers but as cheap earbuds they are really superb value for money. I had a pair of cheap £20 Sennheisers a few years ago and binned them because the sound was unacceptably bad. I hope the Denons prove to be more reliable than ALL the earbuds I have previously owned that ALL seem to fail after 6-18 months, time will tell.
