PerL Pro True Wireless Earbuds - Adaptive Active Headphones Wireless Noise Canceling, Masimo Adaptive Acoustic Technology, Spatial Audio, 32Hr Battery Life, Wirefree Charging, Black

Aint no joke. I have been an audiophile journalist for over 20 years. I recently retired. I have experienced 90% of the flagship full size models out there from Audeze, to Sennheiser and Abyss, and back again. After I retired, I said I want to go back to the best of the best and keep those, as I had a massive Flagship collection. I ended up keeping the Koss ESP95x electrostatic rig, the Audeze LCD4, and the TH-900MK1 from Fostex that I had modded with a detachable cable. After homing the LCD4 for a few months and being absolutely addicted by it, I wanted a portable LCD4. Everyone said thats not possible. I said give it a year, someone will make something. And lo' and behold, Denon rises. This IEM sounds just like the Audeze LCD4, which is the best non electrostatic Audeze ever made, IMO. Its warm, musical, fun, thick, weighted, and has good imaging sound staging. All of that actually rivals multi thousand dollar custom IEMs that I had and I sold all of them the second I heard this. I currently have no iems anymore, I have one set of regular wired earbuds for working out, and then there is the PerlPro. This headphone is wildly underrated, and punches so far above its weight in price to performance that I am just beyond shocked that Denon has not improved it with a new gen model after this 2nd edition. Yes, its really that good after you setup its custom EQ for your ears in the app. After that, set the EQ with a small bass boost and wow, this is just a portable LCD4 for $180. The bass is insanely responsive, meaning you can EQ it a lot and it actually will add more in, or less, and not degrade the quality of the experience. Its highly responsive in that nature. Treble is certainly the weakness but overall this is one of the best, if not THE best non custom IEM in the world. Bass is unrivaled, IMO. I have not heard another IEM that does bass like this. Well textured, musical, fun, its not a fast snappy bass, its meant to linger and be slow, its not clinical, or analytical. If you want that, this IEM is not for you.

Just after the Sennheiser True Wireless Momentum 4 earbuds dethroned my Bose QC Ultra earbuds, mainly for the wireless charging case and punchy sound, the Denon Perl Pro came on sale. What was I supposed to do than to try this mythical contender that's relatively hard to find in the wild? Anyway, my home entertainment system is completely Denon and it never let me down. What really sparked my interest beyond that, however, is the fantastic smart speaker Home 250 which impresses me with the crystal clear sound, even compared to an Amazon Echo Studio and Bose Portable Smart Speaker in the same household. So, time to try out the Denon Perl Pro, with the 'Pro' being important for lossless codec support and custom sound profiles. The Denon Perl Pro is visually very similar to the standard model. The charging case is smaller than the Bose QC Ultra and the Sennheiser TWM4, but still larger than the Apple AirPods Pro 2. That may matter more to some than others. However, the Bose QC Ultra case being the only one of the mentioned examples that doesn't charge wirelessly despite feeling arguably the largest. Where the Denon case fails, however, is the ergonomics of removing the earbuds from it. It's easily the worst ergonomics of all four examples. Not a deal breaker but feels like an oversight nevertheless. The size and weight of the earbuds are sometimes mentioned as a negative. Neither bother me much, but if those criteria are important to you, it may be the main reason to look elsewhere. Maybe make sure to actually try them as this is a rather subjective thing. The large circular design sure looks different. The fit out of the box suits me just fine, just like the Bose and the Sennheiser. That is something I cannot say about the AirPods which never really fit me well. The touch buttons can be customized, with one odd difference: Tap-and-hold is reserved to reset/restart the earbuds, a unique feature, but also unavailable to the common "Volume Up/Down" function. The Tap-tap-hold is less intuitive and not always easy to execute. The iPhone app is decent, even if a bit temperamental, as the earbuds shut down in the case and become invisible to the app. Reconnecting then takes a few seconds, by far longer than any of the other earbuds I own. Once connected, you get basic settings in the home screen and most options are hidden away in the settings. There is no conversation awareness, a specialty of the AirPods, but spatial audio, environmental awareness (pass thru) are. The latter isn't configurable as to how to mix the environment with the music, but the spatial audio is easily the best I have heard so far. This is mostly since it doesn't try too hard to fake space, but is a subtle impact. That also means that audio quality actually improves, unlike the Bose QC Ultra implementation that's best when turned off. The ANC performance of the Bose QC Ultra (and AirPod Pro 2) are unmatched by the Denon Perl Pro (and the Sennheiser TWM4), but fairly useful in normal use. I don't use earbuds for making calls and cannot comment on the microphones in either of these earbuds. THE stand-out feature of the Denon Perl Pro is the Advanced Acoustic Technology (AAT). What sounds like a marketing term is surprisingly effective. The app plays sounds and measures "how you hear music". That's nothing short of black magic and sure worth a skeptical eye. The already good sounding earbuds really come alive with a customized profile. It was truly jaw-dropping how much more dynamic these sound with the personalized profile activated. Up to three profiles can be defined and stored. Just make sure to follow instructions to get a good seal and be quiet during the measurement. For me, the deciding factor was the deal during Prime Day(s) to give it a try and I do not regret it. It's easily one of my favorite earbuds. At full price it may still be a good choice, but less of a slam dunk.

良かった点 ・ごっつい音質でマジでライブ感マシマシ ・装着感がぴったり ・カスタマイズ性が豊富 ・２万円って考えたら企業が心配になるほどのコスパ ・ケースがコンパクトで持ち運びが凄く楽 気に入らなかった点 ・少しイヤホンの再生時間が短い ・装着感が合わない人には全く合わない (自分は問題なし) ・楕円形ノズルでイヤーピースは選ぶ ・ノイキャンは実用的ではあるものの少し弱い ちなみに私のオススメイヤーピースはfinalのfusion gです。付けるのは大変ですが一度付いてしまえば安定し、ノイキャンも結構強くしてくれます。音質はあまり変化がないですが、低音がハッキリする感覚です。

Verpackung und Erster Eindruck: Die Denon Pearl Pro In-Ear-Kopfhörer bestechen bereits beim Auspacken. Schon die äußere Hülle strahlt Eleganz und Hochwertigkeit aus. Der erste Blick auf die Kopfhörer bestätigt diesen positiven Eindruck, da sie sorgfältig gefertigt sind und einen edlen Eindruck vermitteln. Passform und Ohrpolster: Auch das Tragen der Kopfhörer erzeugt ein komfortables und hochwertiges Gefühl. Allerdings sollte angemerkt werden, dass die mitgelieferten Ohrpolster subjektiv betrachtet etwas zu groß dimensioniert sind. Obwohl ich normalerweise keine Probleme mit den Standard-Ohrpolstern habe, fielen mir diese schnell aus den Ohren. Zum Glück stehen kleinere Ohrpolster als Alternative zur Verfügung, die einen besseren Sitz gewähren. Konnektivität: Die Verbindung zu meinen Geräten gestaltet sich unkompliziert und störungsfrei. Besonders praktisch und ebenso unkompliziert ist die Möglichkeit, gleichzeitig mit zwei Geräten verbunden zu sein. Soundqualität: Die Klangqualität der Denon Pearl Pro ist beeindruckend. Die Höhen sind kristallklar, der Bass ist kraftvoll und präzise. Insgesamt decken die Kopfhörer den gesamten Frequenzbereich ab und bieten ein ausgewogenes Klangerlebnis. Mikrofonqualität: Die integrierte Mikrofonqualität der Kopfhörer liefert beeindruckende Ergebnisse. Sie ermöglicht klare Gespräche sowohl in geschlossenen Räumen als auch während Outdoor-Aktivitäten wie Fahrradfahren, selbst bei Fahrtwind oder seitlichem Wind. Noise Cancelling: Das Noise Cancelling der Denon Pearl Pro In-Ear-Kopfhörer übertrifft sämtliche Erwartungen. Es eliminiert störende Hintergrundgeräusche äußerst effektiv und ermöglicht ein ungestörtes Hörerlebnis oder Telefonieren. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der Social Mode, der individuelle Einstellungen für Aktivitäten wie Radfahren oder Bahnfahren bietet. Hierbei werden unerwünschte Geräusche gefiltert und wichtige Klänge verstärkt. Diese Funktion funktioniert signifikant besser als bei den meisten In-Ear-Kopfhörern, die ich bis dato verwendet habe. Mobile App und Anpassungsmöglichkeiten: Die begleitende App stellt eine breite Palette von Anpassungsmöglichkeiten bereit, darunter einen Equalizer und diverse Optionen für das Noise Cancelling. Die Fähigkeit, den Equalizer über die App individuell einzustellen, ist ein weiterer erheblicher Vorteil, insbesondere für audiophile Nutzer, die so den Klang nach ihren persönlichen Vorlieben feinabstimmen können. Akkulaufzeit: Die Akkulaufzeit der Denon Pearl Pro In-Ear-Kopfhörer ist beeindruckend und ermöglicht stundenlangen Musikgenuss. Selbst bei aktiviertem Noise Cancelling beträgt die Akkulaufzeit etwa 6-7 Stunden. Diese lange Betriebsdauer ist äußerst praktisch und gewährleistet, dass die Kopfhörer auch auf längeren Reisen oder bei ausgedehnten Aktivitäten ohne Unterbrechung verwendet werden können. Gewicht und Tragekomfort: Ein kleiner Nachteil, den ich bemerkt habe, betrifft das Gewicht der Kopfhörer. Trotz der passenden Ohrpolster tendieren sie gelegentlich dazu, aus den Ohren zu rutschen. Dies tritt zwar nicht häufig auf, kann jedoch insbesondere aus hygienischen oder verlusttechnischen Gründen problematisch sein. Fazit: Alles in allem sind die Denon Pearl Pro In-Ear-Kopfhörer ein herausragendes Produkt, das ohne Bedenken empfohlen werden kann. Die Verpackung und der erste Eindruck zeugen von hoher Qualität, die Klangqualität ist beeindruckend, das Noise Cancelling ist erstklassig, und die App bietet zahlreiche Möglichkeiten zur individuellen Anpassung. Trotz des gelegentlichen Problems mit dem Gewicht der Kopfhörer handelt es sich um ein Produkt, das ich gerne mit 5 Sternen bewerte. Ich habe dieses Gerät zu Testzwecken erhalten, dennoch kann ich es uneingeschränkt empfehlen!

These earbuds are simply amazing. I bought the Technics AZ80, Beoplay EX, Sony XM5, and OnePlus Pro 3 and the only ones that sound as good are the Beoplay. To me the OnePlus and Sony just sounded awful. I'd say they are an all round bud that do everything good enough. The technics are probably the best all round because they sound better then these 2 but are just behind on ANC, transparency. Beoplay sounded great, did calls well but would constantly cut out. Like many times an hour, you could not walk around. Just embarassing. Denon to be were the most comfortable even though they look awful. Amazing sound after you go through the sound tuning. First pair I got were awful for calls and got another pair and they are good. ANC and transparency are good enough for me as I use them on the bus and have no complaints. Also multipoint on these work great as they did on all except the Beoplay.

Absolutely incredible sound, the dynamic personal sound profile that it builds for you is the selling point of these and makes them sound probably better than any true wireless earbuds out there because its basically a personalized EQ profile that matches your ears well. On top of it you can and should add your own EQ to match your personal preferences and the Harman curve if you wish, but what's incredible with these is how good they sound out of the box compared with everything else out there. That said the ANC is nowhere near Apple and Samsung, and the comfort is also not as good. Buy these if all you care about is sound quality!

I have tried these over the weekend and can safely say they provide a truly excellent sound quality - on par with the study headphones like Sony 1000xm-series. The magic comes from the ear calbration feature that provides an amazing sound that is balanced, warm and natural. Each ear is calibrated separately and in my case i got slightly different results for L and R respectively. Noice calibration, and the "social feature" where you tap the left plug to get a mode where you can speak and socialize also works really well. I do recommend them. Excellent value for the price.
