Denon PerL Pro True Wireless Earbuds - Adaptive Active Headphones Wireless Noise Canceling, Masimo Adaptive Acoustic Technology, Spatial Audio, 32Hr Battery Life, Wirefree Charging, Black

Despite owning numerous high-end wired IEMs and headsets ranging from $500 to $4,000 and owning Sennheiser Momentum TW2 and Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EQ and EX, I rarely write reviews about earbuds. but I felt DPPs granted an exception. After losing my beloved pair of Beoplay EX recently, I considered replacing them but then heard about the Denon Perl Pros on Reddit. Initially, I was hesitant to buy them despite the glowing reviews. I had two main reservations: 1. The earbuds were reported to be quite large (with comparisons to Princess Leia’s hairstyle). 2. Some users mentioned a hissing sound from the left or right earbud. I received the Denon Perl Pros today and all I can say is WOW! I don’t usually make such enthusiastic exclamations, as acoustics and sound quality are very personal, and high cost doesn’t always guarantee satisfaction. However, the Denon Perl Pros are a true exception—I am thoroughly impressed. Firstly, the comfort level isn’t as bad as some reviewers claimed. They fit very comfortably in my ears. Compared to my other more expensive earbuds and IEMs, they provide the best seal and healthy suction. Now, let’s talk about the sound quality. In short, these are among the best-sounding earbuds I’ve ever heard. They can easily compete with my go-to pair, the $1,400 Campfire Andromeda. The soundstage is expansive and immersive, making you feel surrounded by instruments. Remarkably, despite only having a single 10mm dynamic driver, the DPPs offer a near-holographic effect with their V-shaped sound signature. The instrument separation is excellent, with plenty of air between different instruments. Vocals are forward and don’t bleed into the instruments or background tracks. The more detail you seek, the more you find—even with Spotify’s 320kbps tracks, which are not lossless. The volume can go quite high-I strongly recommend enabling high gain mode then lowering volume to find the right spot. High gain mode compensates for frequencies lost when listening with lower volumes, in situations with less power to the driver. How do they compete with $1,000+ earbuds on the market? The secret lies in their superior implementation of Massimo Adaptive Technology. This technology measures your ear canal’s response to different frequencies and compensates where needed. Initially, I worried this was a gimmick, but it’s a game changer. DPPs allow you to have three different profiles. To squeeze out the most out of these, I suggest you doing the calibration three times and save them to each profile. Then do some A-B testing between profiles to find the best for your ears. I always use EQ to finetune the sound but after the calibration, I disabled all previous EQ I had. I don’t think I need to change EQ anymore. This sounds like EQ specific to your ears. Frankly, I don’t understand why the DPPs haven’t garnered the same attention as other, more expensive earbuds. These are fantastic, comparable to the thrill I felt when first listening to the Audeze LCD3, but in a wireless earbud form. Yet, I haven’t seen many YouTube reviews about them. Do they have any cons? The implementation of the spatial audio isn’t very good but the more I give it a try the more I like it. I still prefer it disabled. Immersion mode adds more oomph in lower and lower mid frequencies. Depending on the genre you listen to, it can be good or bad. There’s some recess in 10K+ bands, so you might want to tweak a little to open up more in top range. At this point, I’m nitpicking to find any flaws, but DPPs are just that good. In conclusion, I’m incredibly happy with my new DPPs. These can truly alter your perception of music especially if you’re not already used to high end iems. Since there aren’t many reviews or impressions about these earbuds, I wanted to share my personal experience.

Just after the Sennheiser True Wireless Momentum 4 earbuds dethroned my Bose QC Ultra earbuds, mainly for the wireless charging case and punchy sound, the Denon Perl Pro came on sale. What was I supposed to do than to try this mythical contender that's relatively hard to find in the wild? Anyway, my home entertainment system is completely Denon and it never let me down. What really sparked my interest beyond that, however, is the fantastic smart speaker Home 250 which impresses me with the crystal clear sound, even compared to an Amazon Echo Studio and Bose Portable Smart Speaker in the same household. So, time to try out the Denon Perl Pro, with the 'Pro' being important for lossless codec support and custom sound profiles. The Denon Perl Pro is visually very similar to the standard model. The charging case is smaller than the Bose QC Ultra and the Sennheiser TWM4, but still larger than the Apple AirPods Pro 2. That may matter more to some than others. However, the Bose QC Ultra case being the only one of the mentioned examples that doesn't charge wirelessly despite feeling arguably the largest. Where the Denon case fails, however, is the ergonomics of removing the earbuds from it. It's easily the worst ergonomics of all four examples. Not a deal breaker but feels like an oversight nevertheless. The size and weight of the earbuds are sometimes mentioned as a negative. Neither bother me much, but if those criteria are important to you, it may be the main reason to look elsewhere. Maybe make sure to actually try them as this is a rather subjective thing. The large circular design sure looks different. The fit out of the box suits me just fine, just like the Bose and the Sennheiser. That is something I cannot say about the AirPods which never really fit me well. The touch buttons can be customized, with one odd difference: Tap-and-hold is reserved to reset/restart the earbuds, a unique feature, but also unavailable to the common "Volume Up/Down" function. The Tap-tap-hold is less intuitive and not always easy to execute. The iPhone app is decent, even if a bit temperamental, as the earbuds shut down in the case and become invisible to the app. Reconnecting then takes a few seconds, by far longer than any of the other earbuds I own. Once connected, you get basic settings in the home screen and most options are hidden away in the settings. There is no conversation awareness, a specialty of the AirPods, but spatial audio, environmental awareness (pass thru) are. The latter isn't configurable as to how to mix the environment with the music, but the spatial audio is easily the best I have heard so far. This is mostly since it doesn't try too hard to fake space, but is a subtle impact. That also means that audio quality actually improves, unlike the Bose QC Ultra implementation that's best when turned off. The ANC performance of the Bose QC Ultra (and AirPod Pro 2) are unmatched by the Denon Perl Pro (and the Sennheiser TWM4), but fairly useful in normal use. I don't use earbuds for making calls and cannot comment on the microphones in either of these earbuds. THE stand-out feature of the Denon Perl Pro is the Advanced Acoustic Technology (AAT). What sounds like a marketing term is surprisingly effective. The app plays sounds and measures "how you hear music". That's nothing short of black magic and sure worth a skeptical eye. The already good sounding earbuds really come alive with a customized profile. It was truly jaw-dropping how much more dynamic these sound with the personalized profile activated. Up to three profiles can be defined and stored. Just make sure to follow instructions to get a good seal and be quiet during the measurement. For me, the deciding factor was the deal during Prime Day(s) to give it a try and I do not regret it. It's easily one of my favorite earbuds. At full price it may still be a good choice, but less of a slam dunk.

I have a pretty big collection of wireless earbuds, from the super expensive Beoplay Ex, B&W Pi8, AZ80, JBL Tour pro 3, Momentum Wireless 3 and 4, and down to more affordable pairs like the Liberty 3 & 4 pro, Tozo Golden X1, Nothing Ear (a), Earfun Air pro 4, Galaxy Buds FE and more. I also have more obscure TWS known for their audio quality in Asia, like the Oppo X2, Realme buds pro, Moondrop Robin and Aviot TE-W1-pnk. The Perl Pro has the most entertaining and immersive sound out of all of them. I've heard some people say the ANC is weak and they are comfortable, but for my ears (while using spinfit omni tips) they are perhaps the MOST comfortable pair I own, and the ANC is better than most other options. The app is great, it has gain features, spot for 3 custom hearing profiles, multipoint, an EQ and POWERFUL bass slider, and very versatile touch control options. It's the best. If I could only have one pair of earbuds, these would be it, and it's not even close. I'm still trying to find something to beat them, and it might be a while before that ever happens.

耳の形が合っていたのか、特に外れることもなく快適に使用しています。 機能面ですが、まずノイキャンは期待しない方が良いです。おまけ程度。 音自体は耳に合わせてチューニングしてくれる機能のおかげで、音場も広く、豊かな音を鳴らしてくれます。EDM系の曲と相性が悪いわけでもなく、なんでも卒なく綺麗に聞かせてくれるので、1万円台後半の中ではとても優秀なイヤホンだなと感じました。(元々5万円くらいで販売されてたので、そりゃそう。) 本体バッテリーは少し短めですね… 通勤・退勤の時間でしか使ってないですが、2日で無くなります。

I have tried these over the weekend and can safely say they provide a truly excellent sound quality - on par with the study headphones like Sony 1000xm-series. The magic comes from the ear calbration feature that provides an amazing sound that is balanced, warm and natural. Each ear is calibrated separately and in my case i got slightly different results for L and R respectively. Noice calibration, and the "social feature" where you tap the left plug to get a mode where you can speak and socialize also works really well. I do recommend them. Excellent value for the price.

Siempre que escribo una reseña de audio, lo hago con una explicación pertinente más allá de "suenan muy bien" y cosas así, por lo que venga. Vamos allá. Ergonomía: Se adaptan perfectamente a cualquier tipo de oreja (yo soy propenso a que de la derecha,se me caiga todo). El tamaño no es un inconveniente ni en peso ni en comodidad y, a mayores, trae un juego adicional de wing-tips para quien tenga las orejas más grandes de lo habitual. Conectividad: Emparejamiento sin problemas, pero podría,ser mejoe en el uso ya que en ocasiones (muy pocas y muy cortas) tiene cortes en alguno de los auriculares. Aplicación: La verdad es que podría ser mejor, pero suficiente y fácil de entender. Hay quien pueda echar de menos algo más de opciones en cuanto a ecualización y configuración de toques, pero cumple. En ese sentido, la de los Momentum 4 tws es una maldita maravilla, pero esta es mucho mejor que la nativa de Xiaomi, por ejemplo, o la de Fiio, y a la par que la de Sony. Sonido: ESTE sin duda es su gran punto fuerte y hace que, cualquier pega o deficiencia en otras áreas, desaparezca por insignigicante. Graves no muy poymtentes en golpe, pero muy presentes y definidos, medios sensacionales, y unos agudos que dejan escuchar todas sus frecuencias sin sibilancias, pero dejando distinguir perfectamente cualquier sonido de fuentes distintas, aún en las mismas frecuencias. Se les nota una ligera ecualización en V, pero aún así, perfectamente configurada y que hace muy difícil que incluso sin usar ecualización no contenten a cualquiera. Para mí lo fundamental en un dispisitivo de sonido es la calidad del mismo, más allá de otros parámetros mencionados más arriba como conectividad, llamadas, etc. Aquí son los claros ganadores comparándolos con Fiio FW5, Sennheiser Momentum 4 y Sony wf-1000xm5. Todos son buenos destacando en alguna cosa, pero en lo que es el sonido... Momentum tienen su firma de sonido Sennheiser muy reconocible y enlatada con ese rollo Jukebox que está muy bien, una conexión blindada y una aplicación increiblemente buena. Sony tiene una firma de sonido con mucha claridad y definición, pero esto es otra cosa. Precio: Aquí es dónde se lleva las 5 estrellas. Cuando salieron al mercado, superaban por bastante los trescientos euros. Ahora se pueden encontrar por 150 o algo menos, por lo que en ese precio es imbatible. Y hasta aquí. Mis disculpas por la chapa y espero que le sea útil a alguien.

Como lo dice el título, estos son los mejores audífonos que he tenido en mi vida. Actualmente tengo los Beats Fit Pro, Sennheiser TW4, Sennheiser Momentum 4, Master & Dynamic MW08 y MG20. Igual he tenido o escuchado otros como los AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, Sony WH y WF 4 y alguna vez tuve los Samsung Buds también. Bueno, estos son mejores que todos los demás en calidad de audio. El examen y perfil personalizado de audio no es puro truco o marketing como pasa con algunas otras marcas o modelos. Me hice el examen de oído 3 veces pensando que iba a salir siempre diferente y no. Los he probado con mi novio, amigos y familiares y está cañón. Todos oyen mejor con su perfil de audio y no oyen tan bien con el mío, por ejemplo. Y yo no oigo bien con el de ellos. Se escuchan todos los detalles de las canciones, especialmente las que tienen mejor producción, por supuesto. Percibo cosas que no había oído antes con mis demás audífonos. La batería es excelente, le dura yo creo mínimo unas 8 horas porque los uso toda mi día laboral y aún tienen batería. La cancelación de audio y sonido ambiental igual son buenos PERO ahí sí el volumen se baja a la mitad cuando los pones en transparencia y no se oye igual de bien. Estos son audífonos son para disfrutar de la música. Quizá otros modelos sean buenos para otros usos, dependiendo del caso particular de cada persona. En orden de calidad de música de los que tengo actualmente va así: Denon PerL Pro > Sennheiser Momentum 4 > M&D MW08 > Sennheiser TW4 > Beats Fit Pro Estos son audífonos para audiofilo, por lo que tienen un sonido neutral, pero, igual tienen ecualizador, y un amplificador de bajos muy bueno para esas canciones en las que quieres sentir el boom de los bajos. Ideal para canciones electrónicas, de R&B, etc. Al subir los bajos no se echan a perder las demás frecuencias. Sentía que su diseño era raro y tenía miedo que no me quedaran bien, o se me encajaran en la oreja, pero no, son muy cómodos para mis orejas normales, tirándole a pequeñas. Está loco que sean TAN buenos y tan desconocidos por la mayoría de la gente, y que además, tengan muy buen precio. Además luego traen oferta y salen hasta en 3500! Por cierto el estuche se puede cargar con usbc o inalámbrico si es que te interesa.
