C5

“Bowers & Wilkins C5s are a stunning display of the finest sonic order where their ability to captivate your full attention is borderline hypnotic.”
The Pro Audio Web Blog (April 2013)

 

“Power and weight unrivalled.”
What Hi-Fi (October 2011)

 

“Bowers & Wilkins’s design-led approach has come to the fore once more in the C5 earphones. They’re far more interesting-looking than almost all other in-ear pairs, and are incredibly well-made to boot.”
Trusted Reviews (October 2011)

 

“As beautiful to look at as they are to hear.”
Wired (September 2011)

 

“B&W managed to pack an incredible amount of sound into these little guys.”
Tech Crunch (September 2011)

 

“…in a word, stunning — in its breadth, its spaciousness, its all-round accuracy.”
The Audio Beat (September 2011)

 

“C5 makes a great first impression, in part because B&W has taken canalphone design in some new directions.”
iLounge (August 2011)

 

“These in-ear headphones are incomparably comfortable due to the savvy design of the ‘secure loop’ which attaches to the ear’s inner ridge. Yes, the look good, – but the performance is the most important element and compared to Apple’s tinny ear buds, these will make you feel like a true connoisseur.”
The Sun (UK)

Z2

“You’ll buy the Z2 for its looks but love it for the sound.”
Stuff (June 2013)

 

“The Z2 offers a warm and inviting listening experience, and while the sonics are balanced, the bass is very impressive for such a small speaker too.”
Chip Chick (June 2013)

 

“The Z2 generates big, loud, impressive sound. I haven’t tested a better AirPlay speaker for this price.”
Macworld (April 2013)

AH-W150

“Do you run in the Disney Marathon, walk at lunch or even run/walk on a treadmill? Heck, if you do any type of exercise the Denon Exercise Freak Bluetooth headset is for you!”
Mike Conrad, gottahavegadget.com 

 

“The best thing about these, in my opinion, is they are light, they stay in place, fit well and they are wireless and because of these things, they are something any runner would want to consider.”
Jeff Williams, Editor of Detroit Runner

 

“What’s cool about Denon’s Exercise Freaks is that they’re as invisible during a workout as a pair of cordless, Bluetooth 3.0 headphones with built-in rechargeable battery and hands-free call capability can be. Which is to say, until the geekerati invent an aerosol-free headphone spray for the gym, these nifty little Freaks, available in yellow, blue and black, are a sound bet.”
David Hochman, Forbes.com 

 

“The Exercise Freak headphones are in-ear headphones, but it’s not a tight fit—by design. The engineers know that runners need to be able to hear ambient noise (like a car horn), so while you’ll always hear your music clearly, you’ll still also be able to hear surrounding noises. What was most impressive was the play/pause button. It has a bit of an air bubble inside, so when you’re pressing down on it, the button is pushing Click on you a bit. What that means is you’re not jamming the earpiece further into your ear when you’re just trying to push the button. Brilliant design choice. They’re highly recommended, especially for regular long-distance runners who want a bit of freedom from their wires.”
Alan Danzis, Starpulse

 

“For the most part, earbuds are what they are; aside from a handful of solid Sony offerings, few units impressed me this year. But Denon’s Exercise Freaks are a rare exception. These Bluetooth units are built for use in the gym, and they’re about as impressive as a pair of gym earbuds can get. The Exercise Freaks are the first unit I’ve ever used that never once fell from my head, even during hanging situps and muscle-ups.”
NY Daily News, Ebenezer Samuel

 

“Another closed, in-ear fitness headphone–and one that can eliminate the dreaded headphone wire-yank problem–is the Denon Exercise Freak, which is a Bluetooth wireless fitness headphone. (There is a wire that ties the two earpieces together that goes behind your head.) An earhook design assures a snug fit. (Though it’s a bit tricky at first to get the fit right, you’ll get used to it in no time). For its tangle-free convenience while exercising, good enough sound for wireless exercise listening, and its Bluetooth wireless headset functionality, the Exercise Freak is a great fitness companion.”
Head-fi.org, Jude Mansilla

AH-W200

“Powerful, quality audio response at moderate levels. Comes with several eartip fit options, as well as a cable for wired use.”
“It’s a worthy competitor in the space, especially for lovers of deep bass; this is a sound signature for modern mixes where sub-bass frequencies often play a central role. “Overall, wireless performance is solid.”
PC Mag, Tim Gideon

AH-NCW500

“The AH-NCW500 offers sophisticated style. It reminds me of an old leather couch, worn down by rears over the years. If personified, the Globe Cruiser is refined and experienced and prefers Caetano Veloso to Cream. His life is stressful, but his music is relaxing, like his old leather couch.”
Stereophile, Ariel Bitran

AH-C400

“The C400 feature a beautiful zinc die cast housing that shines brightly, but it’s the unique design that will turn heads…It looks like something that came straight out of the future. The design itself is different, but still attractive.”
iFans, Marcus Nguyen 

 

“These headphones supply a crisp, rich and well-balanced sound…After swapping out all 7 of the interchangeable tips for the perfect fit, every writer in our office can personally vouch for incredible comfort that these headphones deliver. The AH-C400’s are a quality purchase that that were built to last and deliver well balanced audio.”
Josh Herder, busted Wallet
