Six New Headphone Models !!!

It seems that this has been quite a busy day for Denon, since, besides the 3D-capable Blu-ray players we talked about earlier, they’ve also introduced six new headphone models. We’re talking about a high-end, luxury model (the AH-NC800), three over-the-ear versions (AH-D1100, AH-D510R and AH-D310R) and two sets of earphones, the AH-C560R and AH-C260R. Notably, in order to ensure maximum comfort for all wearers, the company’s fresh over-ear headphones all benefit from a unique R&D initiative based on precise scientific modeling and anatomical measurements of the human head. The result is a new type of headphone band engineered with a “human factor,” leaving virtually no gap between the band and the wearer’s head. In addition, all fresh Denon over-ear headphones feature newly developed 3D draping soft skin and foam cushion ear-pads for superb comfort and hours of enjoyment without “listening fatigue.” The solid aluminum housing construction of the AH-NC800, AH-D1100 and AH-D510R models adds yet another level of rock solid construction for added durability and style. It’s also interesting to mention that four of the six models (AH-D510R, AH-D31OR, AH-C560R and AH-C260R) feature a specially designed three-button remote control/microphone that provides easy access to both voice and music control, and is compatible with Apple Voice Control, for Apple iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 2G and the latest generation shuffle. These also control the iPad. Denon’s luxury-class AH-NC800s headphones feature newly developed dual noise-cancelling technology (feed-back and feed-forward) that reduces ambient noise by 99%. Moreover, they have Denon’s proprietary Compressed Audio Restorer, an audio-enhancing technology, which restores musical nuances and subtleties, while superior audio reproduction is further enhanced by high-quality 40mm drivers, as well as OFC cables with gold-plated straight plug connector. The headphone models feature an ergonomic design that isolates the ear more steadily and comfortably, and also decreases mechanical vibration. A newly developed Hybrid (metal or plastic combined with Elastomer) housing ensures clean sound, and a Radial Cascade Damper (in models AH-C260R and AH-C560R) reduces noise from touched cables. For total flexibility, all models come with multiple sizes of comfortable ear tips, extension cables and ear clips to ensure perfect fit for every listener. And now, for pricing and availability. So, in-ear models AH-C560R and AH-C260R are slated to arrive in June and sell for $99 and $49, respectively, while the $99 AH-D510R and $69 AH-D310R will hit the shelves in August. Finally, the AH-D1100 is slated for a September release and will sell for $199. Sadly, there’s no pricing info available on the top-range AH-NC800 model, but we do know that it will make an appearance at some point in August, so we’ll have to wait until then to see what’s what.
