DENON ANNOUNCES CLASSY NEW AH-D5200 HEADPHONES
Denon has just announced its new AH-D5200 headphones that draws upon 50 years of class-leading headphone engineering experience. They certainly look the part.
Contemporarily crafted from carefully selected real woods and metals and incorporating proprietary Denon technologies, the company boasts that the AH-D5200 produces the purest possible sound - one that is both detailed and accurate.

The headphones use the natural acoustic properties of their beautiful, high-density zebrawood housing to help reduce unwanted resonances.
Additionally, the Japanese-made FreeEdge 50mm drivers feature materials chosen for their high rigidity and low mass.
The proprietary Denon designs are said to cancel out unwanted distortion in the diaphragm and mounted on vibration-reducing engineering resin baffles. The soft, compliant surround materials make it easier for the drivers to move in response to the music signal without flexing or distorting, again delivering the cleanest sound possible.
As a counterpoint to the organic style of the wood, a durable diecast-aluminium headband frames the housing of the Denon AH-D5200. The headband should not only provide long-lasting quality it also gives the headphones an attractive, ergonomic design.
Denon tells us that its universal, lightweight fit allows for comfortable extended listening that is enhanced by high-quality, super-soft engineered leather capable of withstanding extensive use while retaining its aesthetic appeal.
The AH-D5200 (£549) is available now through authorised Denon retailers.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
