Denon AHC351K High-Quality Inner-Ear Headphones (Black)
From Denon

Just got these to replace a pair of Etymotics Er-6 that died in the left channel. I'd have to say that I like these better. These Denons are a significant jump in sensitivity over the Er-6. I wouldn't recommend the Er-6 for an MP3 player, but the ER-6i might be better according to the specs.

Overall, I'd say the sound presentation of the Denon is similar to the the Er-6 but the Denon has a more realistic bass. Both are nicely balanced from top to bottom. Neither the Denon nor Etymotics have a boomy bass and neither are shrill and showy in the highs. You can listen to either for a long time without fatigue.

I also find the Denon's a bit more comfortable, and not quite as tight. The inclusion of three sizes of ear pads is also a real plus. The Denons also seem to have a bit less isolation and a bit less microphonics.

So this is a nice transition at a very reasonable price. Four stars and not five since they lack the ultimate definition of a top tier set of cans.
