The Denon AHD501K headphones have decent sound quality, relatively clear highs but "boomy" bass. These require a bit of power to drive so they would probably benefit from a headphone amp, as the sound volume is quite low with an iPod or computer. The build quality is very good and are not too heavy. If you plan to use them while sitting at a desk or stationary you will probably find them to be very comfortable and they have minimal sound leakage. However, if you are going to be wearing these while walking they will not stay in place as the headband design could be tighter. For the price, they are so-so, I would suggest checking into other headphone alternatives, as these have some room for improvement.

I have a pair of AHD1001S headphones and really like them. My wife kept borrowing them to listen to movies on her laptop so I bought this pair for her. the headhpones don't stay in position so she gave them back to me and kept mine. I too have problems with them staying in place. I never had this problem with a pair of headphones before.

I love these headphones. They have extraordinary sound quality for the price. But best of all is the comfort; the ear pads are super soft and prolonged wear does not feel uncomfortable at all. I would highly recommend these!
