Nights at the Opera
These comfortable headphones have so far proved a good buy for my iPod Touch. They're not bulky, and there's enough insulation without having to select an earbud that's super-tight. I like that you get a clear forward sound without having to close off the outside world completely. Though if you travel on noisy trains, then I suppose you'd want total insulation, which you can easily achieve by using the biggest earbuds your ear will accommodate. But if you want to stay alert to people and signals around about you, while still enjoying your music to the full, these phones are the first I've encountered that do the job so well. They're not anti-social: people beside you won't hear sound leaking from them, even when you don't have them fitting tightly, and that's surely a plus!

What's most impressed me is the dynamic aspect of the sound. They let you listen to opera without having to pump the volume up to full, and opera is for sure the cruelest test of any headphones. With these Denons, each voice and every solo instrument stays bright and well-defined, much more than with other inear phones I've owned. For instance, though the more expensive Bose inear phones do give fullness and great richness, with the Denons actual definition is finer and far much more subtle, and also more forward. They capture the quality and difference of every voice and of each solo instrument very well. You can tell immediately if you're hearing the soprano or the mezzo. Base lines are distinct without being pounding. And to me it's an aural comfort to be able hear everything without having to push up the volume, and without having to blast yourself to numbness to get a musical experience. Their top volume can be intense and even overwhelming, but I've been able to listen happily at much lower volume levels to music which has needed full volume on other phones. Whatever technology Denon are using, they've worked out how to give focus to sound.

Will they last? My experience is that sooner or later one phone in almost every pair of inear phones becomes weaker than the other, maybe because cables fray, though quite why I've never been sure. Maybe it's just that miniature technology is a challenge to human clumsiness, such as mine? Some last longer than others, and the ones I found best for this so far are the Bose and budget-price Creative EPs: other inear phones - expensive ones too - have let me down quite early in their life. These new Denons are made from a light plastic, and I'm hopeful their light weight will mean that - like the Creatives - the phones won't be too inclined to part from their cable. Denon also sell a metal version for 20 pounds more, but whether that'd make for better or worse endurance is hard to surmise.

It's been widely noted that they come with two cables. One is a short cable, short enough not to trail if you sit them in the top pocket of a jacket or a tee-shirt. Then there's also an extension cable, so if you prefer you can have them in your bag or in a trouser pocket. The coupling for the extension cable seems just about right, thoughtfully engineered, not so tight that you'd have to pull it fiercely to pack it away, not so loose to lose you sound or start to weaken. This arrangement brings a handy bonus, because it can also act as an emergency off-switch, a way to shut down your music in a hurry without delving in your pocket for your player, or pulling your phones out of your ears. Some reviews question this variable cable length, but why? to me it seems a bright idea, giving options without introducing any evident drawbacks.

To summarise: with these nice little Denons you certainly get your money's worth in great sound quality. Only time will tell how they'll last. For this price the sheer goodness of the sound makes them well worth a try.

Excellent buds
I bought this pair for my iPhone having used a pair of Creative EP-630s for two years and being recommended by a professional review on MacUser. It costed me around £35 with delivery from Hughesdirect. It comes with an extender cable and a pouch. Physically, the buds are sturdier than the Creative. Unlike its bigger brother the AH-551s these are a sub £50 pair of earphones.

For me the biggest disappointment was when I found that the connector couldn't exactly fit the iPhone because it was L-Shaped. So anyone buying this to use with the iPhone (not the iPod touch)should remember to add a recessed adaptor to the package as well. However after some meddling I managed to squeeze it through the iPhone's recessed headphone jack and the rest is pure bliss.

Though it cost five times as much as the Creative EP-630s and twice as much as a pair of Sennheiser CX-300s, it was worth every penny. The bass response is superb it rarely crackles and the whole music experience tends to be dynamic and immersive. Tracks which appeared and sounded dead under the Creatives sprung to life on the Denons.

Overall I would happily recommend the Denon AH-C351 to anyone wishing to spend on a solid pair of earphones as an upgrade

Fantastic at first..
I have tried multiple brands of in -earphones and all have broken ,i tried a pair of senhiesers and the ear piece cam apart ,with these Denon AH-C351 headphones thought i had found the perfect earphone,however one day the right earphone became extremely faint,with the left one staying at a normal output level,i do not intend to buy a pair of denon earphones again
