Denon announces top-end AH-D7000 headphones

These over-ear headphones are Denon's latest release to the 'I've got rather a lot of money' target market. How much money? Well, the AH-D7000s will set you back £800. That's a lot of money, so you'd be right to ask what you're getting for that.

You're getting very high-class components, that's why. A couple of 2" drivers with free-edge microfibre diaphragms that'll play notes up to 45kHz (20kHz is the top end of an average human's hearing).

You also get housings crafted of mahogany (which I should point out is a highly endangered wood) with carvings on the INSIDE that 'enhance the natural tonal balance'. The cable is 99.99999% oxygen-free copper, too, so you'll get absolutely no distortion from that.

What do you think - worth £800? Or snake oil? Let us know your opinion in the comments.
