Officially introduced in August 2008 and scheduled to be released in October or November, the luxury AH-D7000 is Denon's new flagship headphone. Double the price of the D5000, the D7000 was only rumored to have existed until Denon France released images in June 2008 which quickly found their way onto the headphone enthusiast website head-fi.org. With a similar but refined look but larger and more powerful driver than the D5000, Denon has claimed to include several updates to the design. Many of those interested in the D5000 and modification of it have expressed interest on exactly how Denon has improved the headphone, and whether or not they have included any originally home-brewed modifications.
MSRP $999.00

Known for their comfort, Audio-Technica's ATH-W5000 is no...

Pros
- closed style helps isolate the listener from their world - where external noise may ruin the listening experience
- like the D-5000 can be found much cheaper than official MSRP
- more refined than the AH-D5000 - possible candidate to challenge the best of the best?
Cons
- much more expensive than the D-5000! Almost double!
- may still be poorly put together much like the AH-D5000

Cons
- much more expensive than the D-5000! Almost double!
- Still non-suiteble for classical and acoustic music. Despite of having more tremble and providing larger stage, than AH-D5000, it's still lack of it in comparison with Audio-Technica ATH-W5000.
