Denon's new reference headphone ships in January for $999.
Denon has a new high-end headphone coming this January -- the AH-D7200 -- and from its design and specs it seems worth keeping an eye on, if you're in the market for a $999 headphone. (There's no word on international pricing but we'll add it when we get it. It converts to £800 or AU$1,400.)
Designed for "discerning audiophiles," it's got a classic reference headphone look with real walnut housings and Denon's FreeEdge nano-fiber drive units. The earpads use Japanese-developed soft synthetic leather covers that have been designed for maximum comfort, according to Denon.
