Denon AH-C160 Wireless Sport Headphones (Black)

seals out chatter, great s/n, sufficient battery life for entire workout

I've have many bluetooth headphones (though not as expensive) and these by far have sounded the best. However I was wanting to wear while biking in cold weather which just didn't work out.Pros:Sound quality, solid (ambient sound stifling) fit, comfortable, waterproof, unobtrusiveCons:Wanted something I could wear with a hat and bike helmet and still be able to control. Once you add cycling glasses they land between your head and the headset making your ears poke out. It was not even really uncomfortable, just awkward especially when you try to push the buttons.Dropout. With my phone in a handlebar holder I'd still get these random occasional dropouts. I also tucked the wire that connects the headphones which I suspect might be part of the antenna inside my hat. Found sometimes I could induce the dropout by rapidly turning my head 90 degrees. Not intolerable but at this price I expected better.Again these sounded wonderful and maybe they would work well with other setups but for biking not so much. I'm a week into as set of Shure bluetooth headsets which so far have been working well for me.

Horrible product. I have been performing micro surgery for 20 minutes trying to find the right ring/earpiece combo to achieve the alleged deal you need to make these sound better than check out line ear buds. No luck. I can manually jam them in my ear and get some quality sound but no thanks.The giant ear hooks are uncomfortable. The controls located on the right ear hook are difficult to locate and harder to use.Denon has made an absolute pile of crap with these. The Apple ear buds that came with my phone are easier to wear and produce better sound.For the outrageous price stay away.

I shopped around long and hard for these. Though I'm quite dubious of sales reps, a Denon sales rep managed to convince me these were what I was looking for. I couldn't have been more wrong.The number 1 feature I was looking for was call quality. I receive a lot of short phone calls while I'm out of the office, and being able to effortlessly communicate is very important to my job. Instead of carrying around a set of headphones AND a quality Jabra mono-boom, it would be nice to have an all in one solution. Least to say, call quality was so bad I was convinced there was something wrong with them. They seemed to do the opposite of what they were supposed to. My voice sounded like I was at the bottom of a well, and everything else was amplified. Sounds that were barely audible to me were actually amplified above my voice. Such as birds in the distance, noises from a passing bicycle, footsteps, echoes in a bare room... I never had a complaint about wind, but that is no enough when you must quit walking for someone to hear you. This was so bad that I sent them back to Denon twice to have them evaluated. They insisted nothing was wrong, and that they couldn't give me a refund due to hygienic reasons.Fit, and thus sound quality, was a major issue with these as well. I tried every combination of pads, rings, foams that were included with these (and there are quite a few combinations), and I never found a setup that was comfortable, and kept the headphone from eventually breaking seal with my ear. You needed a good seal to hear the lower tones well. Otherwise they sounded like a $10 pair of unbranded earbuds. When you did have a good seal, the sound quality was average at best.These aren't worth the money and hassle. Also, the mere fact that Denon would even sell these on the market tells me that the next few generations won't be any better. Steer clear.
