Calvin's Lifestyle: Denon AH-C300 Review

Denon AH-C300

Okay. Here's a little new toy of mine. Presenting you the Denon AH-C300. It is said to be Denon signature earpiece and first dual-driver earpiece. Bought this wonderful earpiece from the internet. Firstly, I am not an audiophile and I doesn't know how to differentiate what's good and what's bad to justify a great pair of earpiece. My only criteria for a good earpiece is GREAT BASS. So, what I am about to write is solely base on my own experience and opinions. Some people might love this, some might not.

Design

As for the design, I think it's pretty unique and different from the common earpiece designs. This makes it looks something outstanding. However, it's a little bulky as it needs some space to store the 11.5mm dual-drivers.

Looks bulky yet stylish and futuristic design

The silver ring on both side of the earpiece is not just for decoration purpose. It's one of the Denon's pattern. It serves as a dial to increase or lower volume. Besides, you can press on the button in the center to pause or play music or press it twice to skip to next song which is pretty convenient. There's also a built-in mic in the right side of the earpiece. I think it's just okay but sometime the recipient might not be hearing you well enough if there's too much abstract noise in the surrounding. Overall design suits me pretty well. I love the futuristic and unique design of it.

Fit

If you think the size of the earpiece will be heavy because it looks bulky, you are wrong. Eventhough it looks bulky, it's not heavy at all. Besides, the earpiece has a stabilizing rubber arm that makes sure the earpiece remains in your ears even if you walk or run around. Well, the ear stabilizer comes in three different sizes and by default it is set to medium size. It fits in comfortably in my ears and I can wear it for 5-6 hours without feeling any discomfort.

As for the ear tips, it comes various sizes too and I'm sure there's one that will fit you nicely. As for myself, the default medium ear tips suits me best. Basically, everything straight out of the box is good for me and I doesn't need any other adjustments to make it sounds or feels better.
However, the noise isolation might be a little bit of let down but it's not a very big issue as the volume reached half, you can barely hear anything from outside and the volume is not too loud to irritates you. It will give you the addiction to keep the music coming.

Sound Quality

This is purely for people who love bass and I am among them! This earpiece is HEAVY BASS. However, the bass is pretty well balanced and the clarity of the song remain. The bass is powerful to rock you but it also made a great work for not overpowering them.

The volume is great and the sound remain nice and clear even when you max out the volume. Besides, this beast gets more powerful when your volume is above 50%. The bass definitely makes you dance.

Build Quality

The quality of the earpiece is still acceptable but it felt plasticky. Eventhough it felt plasticky, it still kinda solid and sturdy. It still feels good in the ears.

The cable is nice. It won't easily get tangle. In addition, the cable is 1.32m long which I think is pretty good because you can extend it longer.

Accessories

The accessories that come along in the package is great. You get a lot of of ear tips with various sizes in the box so that you can precisely adjust the earpiece to fit your ears more comfortably. Besides, you also get a very high quality casing to keep your earpiece safe.

Conclusion

Overall, I'm very satisfied with this earpiece. Other than being bulky and the plasticky feels, the sound quality is awesome. If you are a bass-lover like me, this is definitely going to be your choice.
The only down side of this earpiece is that the inline-control for volume adjustment is only compatible with iOS devices (the button in the center is still compatible with other devices). Android and other devices couldn't enjoy this lovely feature tho. But still, it doesn't make me to hold back to love this awesome earpiece.
