#74 Denon AH-D9200: $1,499.00 Amazon eBay
Pros: The bass is well behaved, within about 1.4 dB of target through the sub-bass and about 1.2 dB over in the bass, which gives a full but controlled foundation. A preference score of 71 and a 2.5 dB deviation show a reasonably smooth overall tune. A 24 ohm impedance and 105 dB/mW sensitivity make it easy to drive from portable sources, and the closed back isolates.
Cons: Upper mids are about 2.4 dB under target and a 6.1 dB dip near 2.3 kHz recesses vocals and piano. Treble from 6 to 10 kHz is 3.5 dB low, then a 6.4 dB peak near 11.9 kHz and 4.8 dB of excess air add a hot, uneven sheen on top. At 375 g it is a heavy headphone, and the price is far beyond what the response alone delivers compared with the Denon AH-D7200.
