Great earphones for the price., April 26, 2007
I normally don't write reviews, but the previous review is so inaccurate, I felt I needed to give my opinion. First off, these headphones are 1,000 times better than the iPod stock headphones (the ones with the bigger speaker). The sound quality is what you would expect from Denon. The highs and mids are crisp. The bass is of course, exaggerated and heavy, but most people like that. I personally prefer a natural bass, but the bass on these phones works well.
The cord is a bit shorter in length than other earphones, but works well for what I use the phones for. I use these at work, the gym, and mountain biking. I usually run the cord along my back from my rear pocket to my neck. The cord is plenty long for that, and I am a pretty tall guy. The cord is designed to go around your neck, with the length of the cord for the right phone much longer than the left. If you know how to use this feature it is great and will eliminate the need for a shirt-clip, although shirt-clips are nice. The cord is also tangle resistant, which is a definite plus. I wear these phones for 4 plus hours a day, and they are so comfortable I forget they are in my ears.
The earbuds themselves seem to be made out of a metal, and are a bit heavier than the Sony fontopias. They are very comfortable, but may take a day or two to get use to if you have used Sony's in the past. I bought these to replace a pair of broken Sony EX-71's. I find the sound quality and make to be superior to the Sony's. The Denon's are a bit more expensive, but IMHO well worth the price. Also, the ear pieces fit very firmly, so you can skip the super glue.
Update - These Phones also work with iPhone, no adaptor needed.

Spend your money elsewhere!, May 18, 2010
This review is from: Denon AH-C350W In-Ear Headphones (White) (Electronics)
These earbuds are not total junk but only have a few redeeming qualities. Believe me I own a pair of $350 Denon AH-D2000 headphones and they are gorgeous-sounding, I just don't know what Denon was thinking when they were making these things.
Pros:
1. Great sound isolation
2. Long cable w/ 3.5mm extender, uneven for around-the-neck style listening
3. Different silicone cap sizes included
4. Something at least better than iPod stock headphones
Cons:
1. Silicone caps are WAY too soft and feel like paper, no tight air seal in ear (to be fair to the sound quality I changed the caps with another earbud set for maximum bass)
2. Sound quality (AFTER I changed out the silicone caps): WEELY bad. Believe me I am an audiophile but a relatively tolerant one - and these are unbearable. But these aren't your stereotypical non-bass earbuds - these have plenty of bass except that instead of a deep, tight, punchy bass, this bass has NO punch whatsoever and merely rumbles around. Strange enough, there is virtually no midrange on these headphones - so vocals sound like squealing, and combined with the symbols and drums of your average Owl City or country song immediately sounds like tinfoil in the rain and even starts to HURT your ears after a while because of how sharp the treble is.
3. Rubbery cable bounces around like an angry chihuahua during exercise, and pulls down on your ears and pops, practically drowning out all the music coming from your iPod
4. Pretty dam expensive for what you get in the box.
