Denon Perl Pro review: I would consider myself an audiophile. My life has revolved around a combination of music production, headphone collection and earphone/earbuds collection. I’ve spent 100’s and 100’s of hours A-B comparing different headphones and earphones over the years. My favourite earbuds for quite a long time were my Technics AZ70. These were then displaced from the top spot (only marginally) by the Technics AZ80. Then I got these Denons to give them a whirl. I wasn’t overly convinced that they’d be capable of bettering the Technics, despite all the good reviews I’d read. Well they have. Compared to both the Technics: models: 1. They go louder 2. Have a slightly wider and taller soundstage 3. Have smidge higher resolution 4. Better bass (they have a greater deep bass rumble and can deliver more punch in the mid-bass region). Now, it’s important to note that, in order to achieve the above, you must do the ‘hearing test’ and possibly perform it two or three times (saving them within the three slots provided), then choose the best one. I have spacial audio enabled, as this helps the soundstage. If you like what the spacial audio does - great. I’d recommend leaving the EQ setting until the end of the process. An interesting thing that I found was that there’s a span of about 10/15 seconds in one of my ambient remixes where the sound is quiet and low+high mids focused (no bass line element and just a little treble) before the main melody kicks in. Using any of my other earbuds, you’d think that all there was present in the recording were these high and low mids (plus the slight treble from percussion). Except…these Denon’s show clearly that within that section of music, there’s also a very low frequency bass element. It’s too low a frequency to properly hear it. It’s more something you feel. And you do. This is completely absent on all my other earbuds, including the Technics. My clear conclusion from this is that these earbuds go down deeper than the others. Comfort-wise, I like them. I have mid-sized ears and use the Medium size tips. I often prefer memory foam ones, but not with these earbuds - the silicon tips do them a lot of justice. I don’t use the wing-tips that they come with and they’re secure enough in my ears (once inserted properly with a slight twisting action). Some people will be put off by the flat round shape of them. But I like the design. With the bulk of the weight (centre of gravity) closer to your ears, my impression is that there’s a slightly lower leverage force downwards on the outside. In physics we trust. Anyway, I’ve had no problems at all with Bluetooth stability and connection strength, and the noise cancelling is good enough for me. Ultimately though, I buy earbuds, earphones and headphones principally for the audio quality. And these earbuds are a definite keeper. So impressed, I bought two (at a time when the price was reduced). Ordered one of each colour and swapped the earbuds over to get a nice contrast going…

As a music lover constantly chasing the best possible audio quality, the hype around the Denon PerL Pro was impossible to ignore. The promise of a truly personalised sound profile (Masimo AAT) and the inclusion of AptX Lossless streaming seemed like the endgame for wireless audio. Coming from the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds, which are the kings of comfort and noise-cancellation, I was ready to see if Denon could deliver a new monarch for pure sound fidelity. The short answer is: they absolutely did, but unfortunately, it came with a heartbreaking, deal-breaking flaw. Let's start with the magic. The personalised sound profile is not a gimmick; it is revolutionary. After a quick and easy, automated hearing test in the app, the earbuds create a profile tailored to your specific hearing abilities. The first time I played a familiar, well-produced track (Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams"), I was genuinely stunned. It was like a thick veil had been lifted. I could hear delicate cymbal work, subtle bass lines, and vocal nuances that had previously been smeared or lost. The sound is massive; the soundstage is wide and deep, with incredible instrument separation. It's a rich, vibrant, three-dimensional audio experience that no manually-adjusted EQ can ever hope to replicate. Paired with a S23 Ultra, being able to stream lossless audio over Bluetooth is the cherry on top, ensuring you're getting true lossless wireless audio. It is, without exaggeration, the most brilliant and impressive sound I have ever heard from a pair of in-ear headphones. The rest of the product experience is equally premium. The charging case is solid, feels great in the hand, and has a satisfying magnetic click. The earbuds themselves, despite their size, feel surprisingly light in the ears, adding to the immersive feeling. But here is where my dream scenario fell apart, and why I unfortunately had to return them. The physical size of the earbud housing itself is just too large. I have what I consider to be average-sized ears, but even with the smallest included ear tip and wing, the hard plastic shell of the earbud pressed painfully against my antihelix and concha. For the first 10-15 minutes, it was a minor annoyance. After about 20 minutes of listening, it became a genuine, persistent pain that made wearing them impossible. Coming from the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds, which I can wear for hours without a second thought, this was a shocking and deeply disappointing realisation. The other compromise is the Active Noise Cancelling. It's... fine. It will dull the low rumble of an air conditioner or the distant hum of traffic. However, it is years away from the god-tier silence that Sony or Bose can create. It doesn't create that isolated bubble, and it lets in far more mid-range and high-frequency sounds. For a premium-priced earbud, the ANC is a clear step-down from its main competitors. Conclusion: These are not for everyone. If you are a dedicated audiophile who prioritises pure sound quality above all else, and you are blessed with larger ears, these could be your holy grail. You would be getting arguably the best-sounding true wireless earbuds on the market. However, you must be willing to compromise on potentially a very poor fit and mediocre noise cancelling. For me, the pain made them unusable. It was a genuine shame, because if it wasn't for the size and the pain, I would have kept them in a heartbeat and never looked back. The sound is just that good.

Verpackung und Erster Eindruck: Die Denon Pearl Pro In-Ear-Kopfhörer bestechen bereits beim Auspacken. Schon die äußere Hülle strahlt Eleganz und Hochwertigkeit aus. Der erste Blick auf die Kopfhörer bestätigt diesen positiven Eindruck, da sie sorgfältig gefertigt sind und einen edlen Eindruck vermitteln. Passform und Ohrpolster: Auch das Tragen der Kopfhörer erzeugt ein komfortables und hochwertiges Gefühl. Allerdings sollte angemerkt werden, dass die mitgelieferten Ohrpolster subjektiv betrachtet etwas zu groß dimensioniert sind. Obwohl ich normalerweise keine Probleme mit den Standard-Ohrpolstern habe, fielen mir diese schnell aus den Ohren. Zum Glück stehen kleinere Ohrpolster als Alternative zur Verfügung, die einen besseren Sitz gewähren. Konnektivität: Die Verbindung zu meinen Geräten gestaltet sich unkompliziert und störungsfrei. Besonders praktisch und ebenso unkompliziert ist die Möglichkeit, gleichzeitig mit zwei Geräten verbunden zu sein. Soundqualität: Die Klangqualität der Denon Pearl Pro ist beeindruckend. Die Höhen sind kristallklar, der Bass ist kraftvoll und präzise. Insgesamt decken die Kopfhörer den gesamten Frequenzbereich ab und bieten ein ausgewogenes Klangerlebnis. Mikrofonqualität: Die integrierte Mikrofonqualität der Kopfhörer liefert beeindruckende Ergebnisse. Sie ermöglicht klare Gespräche sowohl in geschlossenen Räumen als auch während Outdoor-Aktivitäten wie Fahrradfahren, selbst bei Fahrtwind oder seitlichem Wind. Noise Cancelling: Das Noise Cancelling der Denon Pearl Pro In-Ear-Kopfhörer übertrifft sämtliche Erwartungen. Es eliminiert störende Hintergrundgeräusche äußerst effektiv und ermöglicht ein ungestörtes Hörerlebnis oder Telefonieren. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der Social Mode, der individuelle Einstellungen für Aktivitäten wie Radfahren oder Bahnfahren bietet. Hierbei werden unerwünschte Geräusche gefiltert und wichtige Klänge verstärkt. Diese Funktion funktioniert signifikant besser als bei den meisten In-Ear-Kopfhörern, die ich bis dato verwendet habe. Mobile App und Anpassungsmöglichkeiten: Die begleitende App stellt eine breite Palette von Anpassungsmöglichkeiten bereit, darunter einen Equalizer und diverse Optionen für das Noise Cancelling. Die Fähigkeit, den Equalizer über die App individuell einzustellen, ist ein weiterer erheblicher Vorteil, insbesondere für audiophile Nutzer, die so den Klang nach ihren persönlichen Vorlieben feinabstimmen können. Akkulaufzeit: Die Akkulaufzeit der Denon Pearl Pro In-Ear-Kopfhörer ist beeindruckend und ermöglicht stundenlangen Musikgenuss. Selbst bei aktiviertem Noise Cancelling beträgt die Akkulaufzeit etwa 6-7 Stunden. Diese lange Betriebsdauer ist äußerst praktisch und gewährleistet, dass die Kopfhörer auch auf längeren Reisen oder bei ausgedehnten Aktivitäten ohne Unterbrechung verwendet werden können. Gewicht und Tragekomfort: Ein kleiner Nachteil, den ich bemerkt habe, betrifft das Gewicht der Kopfhörer. Trotz der passenden Ohrpolster tendieren sie gelegentlich dazu, aus den Ohren zu rutschen. Dies tritt zwar nicht häufig auf, kann jedoch insbesondere aus hygienischen oder verlusttechnischen Gründen problematisch sein. Fazit: Alles in allem sind die Denon Pearl Pro In-Ear-Kopfhörer ein herausragendes Produkt, das ohne Bedenken empfohlen werden kann. Die Verpackung und der erste Eindruck zeugen von hoher Qualität, die Klangqualität ist beeindruckend, das Noise Cancelling ist erstklassig, und die App bietet zahlreiche Möglichkeiten zur individuellen Anpassung. Trotz des gelegentlichen Problems mit dem Gewicht der Kopfhörer handelt es sich um ein Produkt, das ich gerne mit 5 Sternen bewerte. Ich habe dieses Gerät zu Testzwecken erhalten, dennoch kann ich es uneingeschränkt empfehlen!

These earbuds are simply amazing. I bought the Technics AZ80, Beoplay EX, Sony XM5, and OnePlus Pro 3 and the only ones that sound as good are the Beoplay. To me the OnePlus and Sony just sounded awful. I'd say they are an all round bud that do everything good enough. The technics are probably the best all round because they sound better then these 2 but are just behind on ANC, transparency. Beoplay sounded great, did calls well but would constantly cut out. Like many times an hour, you could not walk around. Just embarassing. Denon to be were the most comfortable even though they look awful. Amazing sound after you go through the sound tuning. First pair I got were awful for calls and got another pair and they are good. ANC and transparency are good enough for me as I use them on the bus and have no complaints. Also multipoint on these work great as they did on all except the Beoplay.

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。

Absolutely incredible sound, the dynamic personal sound profile that it builds for you is the selling point of these and makes them sound probably better than any true wireless earbuds out there because its basically a personalized EQ profile that matches your ears well. On top of it you can and should add your own EQ to match your personal preferences and the Harman curve if you wish, but what's incredible with these is how good they sound out of the box compared with everything else out there. That said the ANC is nowhere near Apple and Samsung, and the comfort is also not as good. Buy these if all you care about is sound quality!

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.
