Denon AH-D5000 Headphones

Here we have a pair of headphones from Japanese company Denon. Our examples of the AH-D5000 have a slight disparity in the output of the left and right channels.

Headphones are in good cosmetic condition noting some general wear to the headband and earpads – please refer to photographs.

They will be suitably packaged and are being sold on a sold as seen basis with no returns accepted.

Denon Say….
The AH-D5000 have been designed for music lovers who want to enjoy a realistic sound in complete peace.
Sound is conveyed to people‘s ears as waves that occur when vibrations from a sounding body causes the air to vibrate. In a normal listening environment, sound waves released from speakers fill the listening space, and the waves that reach people‘s ears are reflected or absorbed by objects in the room such as desks, chairs, sofas, the floor, ceiling, or carpet. This is how we, through audio products, enjoy music recorded in a concert hall, live house, or studio. If you wish to enjoy an ambiance as though you were sitting in a concert hall or live house, you would have to raise the volume on the amp to some extent and drive the speakers. However, if your free time to enjoy music occurs late at night, you may not be able to raise the volume. At times like those, you need headphones that let you freely enjoy the music and give you the quality of sound you require. To develop such headphones, we at Denon embarked on a new path where we
focused on the acoustic space inside the headphones rather than the listening room.
Wearing headphones is like placing your ears right beside the speakers. The sounding body vibrates the air, but instead of being influenced by surrounding objects, the sound waves go directly into your ears. At first glance, you might imagine hearing a beautifully realistic sound, but there are a few issues that must be addressed first:
The driver unit needs to reproduce both delicate details and powerful sound
The materials used for the housing need to have superior acoustic properties
The headband and frame need to feel natural while being worn
The cable needs to preserve the purity of electric signals during transmission.
Denon engineers have cleared these challenges step by step through repeated listening tests and adjustments. Musical instruments produce a wide variety of delicate nuances in sound that are most enjoyable to listen to. We invite you now
to produce your own space where you can enjoy them to your heart‘s content.

Employs housing made of natural wood with superior acoustic characteristics that are rich with a broad, natural sound.
Micro-fibre has been used to form the diaphragm so that it faithfully reproduces the sonic details and delicate reverberations that occur in concert halls.
Optimum acoustics characteristics are achieved by adjusting the sound pressure balance in front of and behind the diaphragm.
High-quality cables of equal length for the L/R channels are used to maintain optimum sound quality. High-purity 7N-OFC cables with a cloth mesh jacket are used.
This frame lets listeners enjoy maximum comfort during extended listening sessions.
