DenonPerL Pro True In-Ear Wireless Earbuds, Personalised Sound Profile, Noise Cancelling Earphones, Water Resistant, Built-in Microphones, Long Battery Life - Black

The Good: Really nice sound. Clear differentiation between different instruments and track elements. Comfortable to wear. The storage box is feels sturdy. The automatic audio tuning is a marvel of modern technology; this feature has to be used to get the best out of these earbuds. I expect these earbuds to last me quite some time.The Bad: Why don't earbud manufacturers make storage cases with ejector buttons for the earbuds? Your guess is as good as mine. The earbuds are held in place magnetically. It can be fiddly to get them out of the case. I say that as someone with good dexterity.The Ugly: The control app works well but needs a few tweaks. The app can only be installed onto an Android / iOS device. This limits the app's usage to phones or tablets (I've not tried it on a tablet yet), or a user could install Android into a virtual machine (emulator/hypervisor). We need an app that works on desktop, laptop or smart devices like an Amazon Echo. Another issue with the app is that an account needs to be registered with Denon before it can be used and each time the app is restarted the account needs to be logged into. Why does the app need my name, my age and my gender? It shouldn't need any info about me. And why does the app sync with the Denon cloud service? I'm sure it does not need to do that in order to help me control my earbuds.Overall I am very happy with these earbuds. They are comfortable. They sound good. They look smart. I just wish the app could be installed onto a wider range of devices and OSs and that it did not require me to sign in to Denon's cloud service each time I want to manage my earbuds.

I used Sony WF-1000XM3, Sony WF-1000XM4, and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3. When the batteries of the latter went bad, I started looking for a replacement. I initially got the Technics AZ80, but I found that the sound quality was below that of my Sennheisers. Also controlling volume was a bit awkward. I did like the smaller case, and the fit was quite good as well. But sound quality comes first for me, and for that reason I returned them.Then I purchased both the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4, and these ones. The Sennheisers sounded like I was used to with the MTW3s, but these are quite simply on another level. After AAT tuning, it is safe to say that they are like no earbuds I have tried before. The organisation, instrument separation, delicacy... is just way better. Additionally, the fit is better than the Sennheisers as well. The only downside is that they are a bit large, and so is the case. But for me, that is totally worth it. There may be better sounding buds like the Bowers & Wilkins Pi8, but they are more expensive as well, and the fit is probably not as good.Noise cancellation performance is good as well. Maybe not best in class, but I think it is better than my MTW3s, so I'm good with that. Transparency mode works fine too. Again, maybe not the best, but these are earbuds; as far as I'm concerned, that means they are made to enjoy music. And they let me do that incredibly well. I haven't tested call quality, but again, that's like... a 2% use case, maybe. the other 98% is about listening to music.

Not an "audiophile" by any means but thought I would give my opinion. To give context.. long-term iPhone user (15 years) and made the decision a few weeks ago to make the jump to Android, which has gone much smoother than expected. However, I had been in the Apple ecosystem with a watch and AirPod Pros 2. The watch was fine, I only ever used it for time to sold that off and thought nothing more of it. The AirPods however, I adored. Having researched time and time again, I took the plunge with these on the resale scheme for a very discounted price. Expected "good condition" and what I got was virtually brand-new, taken out of the box once by the looks of it.At first, I was disappointed. Remember, what I am comparing them to. The case is bulky and cheap feeling for a product usually retailing at £200+ - the hinge is slightly wobbly, the LED lights are poor and the whole case is bulky, not great.I popped the headphones in the first time and followed the instructions to download the Denon app, as is in front of you on first open. This took me through the personal profile experience which was really smooth. Once you complete the profile it plays a demo song which I already thought was great, then it tells you to switch to your own personal profile and when I did.... my goodness. A lot of the online reviews state these are the pods to go for sound quality in this price range and they aren't wrong. I can put up with the cost saving on the case as it has clearly gone towards the sound quality. I am hearing elements in the songs I listen to regularly that I never knew were there before.To top things off, they fit wonderfully in the ear. Admittedly, takes much more effort to get in the ear with a snug fit than an AirPod would but once in, they fit perfectly and most importantly feel comfortable and I can easily go 2+ hours with these in.I can't comment on battery life other than they support my usage case and easily make it through to a charge each day, never left short with generally 3-4 hours per day.Please, if you do buy these don't let first impressions put you off. Spend the time to use them for at least 48 hours and like me, you'll come to appreciate them for the work put into their sound quality.

Been using for 2 months. It took some time to adjust the sound settings, but in the end, I'm very satisfied. They're a level above my previous Sennheiser and even surpass Bose in some aspects. However, when it comes to comfort, they lose to both. I use them to listen to music at home in a quiet environment. They're not great for outdoor use—Bluetooth connectivity is very unstable, and they constantly fall out of my ears. That said, I'm happy with the sound, and that makes up for a lot. The sound is rich, detailed, and delightful. Will keep them while they work, and then look for smth other
