Denon may not be a name you come across as often as Sony or Sennheiser, but the company has a long history of invention and quality in the world of audio.

And while the Denon AHD1001K headphones are not the most expensive model they offer, but they do hit the sweet spot when it comes to quality and price.

Here are some of the things users have been saying about the AHD1001K...

* Supremely comfortable, soft in the ear cup, well padded on the headband.

* The sound is extremely clear, the bass is tight and punchy, and the trebles sparkle.

* You'd need to spend double or more to get any significant gain in sound quality.

* I don't think you'll find a better rounded headphone for the price.

The general opinion out there seems to be that these are super-comfortable headphones that deliver very high quality audio.

These are great for use with your hi-fi, computer or iPod. That said, if you want to get the very best from these headphones with your iPod or other mp3 player, you may want to get yourself a small, portable headphones amp.

And now for the technical specs:

* Neodymium magnets

* 40mm Microfiber diaphragms

* Acoustic Optimizer

* High quality OFC cabling

* Input impedance 32 ohms

* Sensitivity 103dB/mW

* Frequency range 8 Hz ~ 37 kHz

* 3.5mm Gold plated aluminum connector with ¼” adapter

* Lightweight frame construction

Finally, although these are described as on-ear headphones - meaning they rest ON the ear and not around it - some users say that they actually fit around their ears. I guess it all depends on the size of your ears.
