Denon AH-NC732 Noise Cancelling Headphones video review

  • More Photos
  • Video

The Denon AH-NC732's are among the best travel headphones we've used in terms of the quality of sound you get. However, we can't help but feel the on-ear design is just fundamentally flawed. After all, you still end up with quite a large case so why not make them a little bigger use larger over-ear cups, making the headphones more secure and comfortable. Read full review

    Are these the best earphones for discerning bassheads?

    Detachable cables may be the major upgrade for the SE425s over their predecessors, but they don't just rely on gimmicks to impress.

I havent tried these headphones but have been using the Bose QuietComfort 3 Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones for quite a few years now. Great performance both for noise reduction (but agree with comments on some noise intrusion due to the on-ear design)and music. Also lots of accessories supplied - really neat rechargable cell - lasts 20+ hours ( additional battery and acharger with adaptors for everywhere).


Price circa £260 - sure they are more expensive than the Denon but .....I wouldnt be without them.


Bose also offer simialr but with over the ear design.

I agree with the review(er). I bought these headphones over in the US and I am a bit disappointed with the noise reduction, although the sound quality, comfort etc. are very good. I also paid a hair under $140 which is less than half the price of the alternative I considered - the Bose QuietComfort 3.

A very thourough and useful review. I just wanted to mention a couple of points. Compact size is important for travel - I don't want a case to take up half my carry-on bag :) - so the on-ear design is a necessary compromise if you want as compact a headphone as possible and don't like earbuds. I would like to know how they compare with other on-ear models, like Bose QC3.


Auto power-off would be nice, but I dont't see how you would achieve this - they give you the option of using them for noise cancelation without music playback, and you don't want them to turn off automatically when you have them on. There is an indicator light, so it's easy to see and turn the NC switch off before storing.

I have a pair of these and generally like them, although it would be nice if they had some less messy way of dealing with the cords, assembling the whole outfit is a bit fiddly. I also would like a built-in volume control, as occasionally airline seat volume controls cannot be adjusted down far enough, or automaticlly ramp up during announcements, making you rip the phones off your head--it would be easier to just slide a gain slider. One last comment--either the reviewer has a small head, or the size has changed; for someone with my (large) hat size, if anything they are a tiny bit tighter than necessary and certainly have no tendency to fall off.

Edward,


Unfortunately your article doesn't cover the scam related to Denon's international warranty or lack of warranty as the case is.





I purchased a pair of these in Singapore two weeks ago and they began playing up on the flight home to Australia. Within 2 weeks I contacted the Australian distributor to find out my warranty would not be honored as I purchased them outside Aus.





Unless I wanted to return them to SG for repair, I was stuck with a dud set of headphones. Needless to say I was not at all happy and as always it was false economy, should have bought the Bose and got a true international warranty.





Very sad as I always thought of Denon as a trusted brand. Shameful!
