Good-bye Old Head Muffs, Hello Denon AH-C751
Canal phones are becoming more and more popular these days as a classy way to tune out.
Where people would previously strap on a pair of head-muff speakers to reduce ambient noise, the sleek canal-phones that are designed to do just that while remaining much less obtrusive.
Canal-phones are so called because they sit snugly inside the ear-canal, getting the listener more intimate with his music while distancing him from the noisy environment. Canal phones are much more inviting alternative to those bulky headphones since at such a small size they can retain the same noise canceling effect.
Denon has recently expanded its product inventory to include a variety of canal-phones. Although its prices are standard (and high at that), it has a foot in the door on its competitors when it comes to its tangle resistant cable.
Unlike similar models made by Sennheiser, the AH-C751 by Denon doesn’t turn into a birds nest after 5 minutes in your pocket. When put to the test, it measures up to its hefty £70 price tag in terms of craftsmanship and style - with firm aluminum casing and reinforcement fittings at the nodes to prevent the hair-thin wires from wearing down.
The package is more attractive since it comes with extra ear fittings of varying size and an extension cable for practical use with a cell phone.
