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.

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.

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.

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.
