Excellent review and you are the only one who measures how loud they play. That is extremely helpful plus your chart is an awesome tool for comparison. You got my sub and look forward to seeing more of your reviews! Time to hit the order button for the PerL Pro. 😁

[@pickyaudio]

Thanks and enjoy the Perl Pro! El jefe actually started measuring volume before me ☺️

[@reklovjj]

Also 4th rank doesn’t do any justice to these perfect sounding earbuds. I’ve tried them all and would never go back to anything else except Between 3ANC simply when I don’t feel like fiddling to fit the PerL Pro in my ears. As much as I love 3ANC SQ they too are not even close to PerL Pro SQ

[@pickyaudio]

Like I said if it's the best sound your after they're the best you can get! Interesting about the 3ANC though, I'm keen to compare the two

[@GlassHouse80]

Another great review, I recently bought these and I'm really happy with them. Interestingly I had to run through the AAT personalisation a few times to get it to the sound stage that I liked. I settled on the 4th test which gave me a bit more bass and rumble, which I liked. 90% of the time I am listening to these at home or while I work so the sound quality is the most important thing for me and these are the best I've tried.

[@Joshdrew352]

Mine are coming in the mail today and I'm really excited. Sound quality the most important to me and out of all the reviews I've seen these are the best

[@GlassHouse80]

@@Joshdrew352 Give your ears a good clean and go through the AAT Test 4-5 times and then just settle on the one you like most. They're a great bit of kit and comfortably the best sounding ear buds I've tried and I've tested a lot to settle on them.

[@Joshdrew352]

@GlassHouse80 thanks for the advice man I have the airpods pro 2 and I loved them but I've recently moved to the samsung s24u and they sound terrible with android phones so I needed an upgrade

[@pickyaudio]

Thanks! Yea I also had to retest with different ear tips and try the best sound for myself. But a good recommendation to test a few times 👍

[@alvinamana1459]

​@@Joshdrew352yeah airpods are trash unless you have an iPhone an even for iPhone sound quality is flat only iPhone users that don't use anything else thing they sound anything but. If you got a Samsung an want the best these are good but Samsung doesn't support the full aptx unfortunately so you won't be streaming high res stuff which is half the point of spending 350 bucks.thw Samsung buds works great for Samsung but they are built weird an not great for working out an horrible at blocking out noise for calls

[@aprofromuk]

for me denon perl pro comfort with the larger eartip comfort is 9.5. What i found is you shud twist it in perfectly as they show in the manual, and it made a huge diff in comfort for me. they dont need wind reduction a they have bone conduction microphones instead of normal microphones, which dont pick up wind noise.

[@Mr3121996]

These are actually really good! I've been using Sennheiser mtw 3 for a year and those were the best I've ever used over Sony, apple and Bose. These Denon are a step above. My one gripe is the fit. It's so difficult to get them in my ear quickly with a good seal, I usually have to try like 2 or 3 times each ear, so once I figure that out, these will be fantastic. Also the foam tips you suggested, which type did you get because Denon isn't on their list?

[@Corroded_Jedi]

Were you able to figure out which ear tip fits and at what size? (Probably medium to fit within the case well I suppose).

[@killaforma]

Rufus du Sol! OMG I have the Denons and wow, they compete with most of my wired sets.

[@pickyaudio]

Awesome!

[@themarksmanABP]

To get the perl pro sq in a wired format, what sort of IEM would you need to buy?

[@killaforma]

@@themarksmanABP from the iems I have the one that comes closer is the S12 or the Kato, some say that they are very similar to the Falcon Ultras but I have not heard them yet, bass on the Perl Pros is better to me than the S12, mids are more detailed and treble is more controlled and not sibilant at all but where the Perl outperforms most of the iems I have is on psycho-acoustics, it looks like you have a big rig in front. Noise cancel is average (the Xm4 is way better on this) but transparency is better on the Denons, it also has a high gain setting for the sound in the app.

[@themarksmanABP]

@@killaforma thanks for this detailed reply. I'm waiting for delivery today. My music is mostly strong male vocalists like Chris Stapleton, teddy swims, mark knopfler if dire straights, stereophonics, Ben Howard, arctic monkeys, kings of Leon, lumineers etc. mainly acoustic guitar/rock and vocals, live lounge sessions etc salong with rap like the game, 50, dre etc. Do you feel the Perl pro's will sound good with this type of music?

[@killaforma]

@@themarksmanABP with rap/hip hop and low end heavy music it rocks, just bear in mind when you'll be doing the calibration, sometimes it doesn't work so you have to try again, for me sadly I have developed an allergy to the materials the iems are made of and can listen to them for about 30 minutes, it happened to me also with the Galaxy buds 2 pro. I found they sound better with the Dunu S&S tips. For reference I have many iems: Dusk, B2 Dusk, IE200, Kato, S12, Hexa, FUDU Verse 1, Truthear x crinacle zero red, Pula PA02 and a few more.

[@LuggageChestHead]

It’s so funny how individual all these things are: most of the best secure fitting earbuds on your list just fall out of my left ear without any intense movement, especially the ear 2, studio buds + and AirPods Pro 2 for example. The Sennheiser stay in the there without problems though.

[@alvinamana1459]

These def surprised me fit wise. Like I thought beats fit pro were best for sitting in ear during workouts I was wrong this one hands down is the best I don't even have to adjust it while running for 2 miles straight an not once have I had to adjust it. My beats not so much. An like you said changing to half foam half silicone eartips def makes a huge difference Also there is a long hold you have to just press it once first Also you can change ANC off from the buds I set my left bud to one tap to turn it on an off an it works flawlessly.

[@reklovjj]

Somehow this lengthy review sounds somewhat negative until you painted correctly the SQ! PerL Pro are so far ahead on SQ than any competitors it’s just incredible. My bone with it is mainly the difficulty to simply put the earbuds in ears; after months enjoying this incredible device I still prefer using my Between 3ANC and it’s easy ear fit! Now as great as 3ANC SQ Is they too are not close to match PerL Pro SQ! Its Masimo ATT personal sound profile is unmatched and I don’t even bother using additional EQ settings as this PerL Pro is simply a gem in SQ regardless of music genre one loves. Hopefully the next generation will make these earbuds an easier way to fit as opposed to wasting minutes to manipulate this PerL Pro will remain top. The SQ itself is surely worth $349 as the negatives exposed in this review shouldn’t stop anybody to buy the best of the best sounding earbuds. Cheers

[@pickyaudio]

Yep they definitely have some minor flaws but If you have the money to spare the sound easily makes up for those flaws!

Also you can't use lossless streaming on apple an expect to hear a difference between aac an sbc lmfao there isn't going to be any sort of difference because Apple music doesn't support it. In order to give these a truly fair review you have to use a high res streaming service like deez or tidal that will allow lossless music. On apple music it literally cuts everything down to below cd quality an only on the iPhone with airpods will it actually get closer to lossless with their lossy format. That's just not fair to Denon to limit them or any high end earbuds to apple music. Like me using my beats on tidal an saying tidal doesn't sound different than Spotify Also agree these are def loudest buds I ever owned. I can casually listen to stuff at like 20 or 30 percent an never need to go above 50 unless I'm running outside an that barely over 50.

If price is the determining factor then get the status between ANC. I have both for a few weeks by now and i can not determine a winner between the two as far as sound quality goes.

If you actually looked at the review you would see Apple was rated disproportionately higher in categories other earbuds don't tend to excel at. Things like Case/Battery and Transparency (which most would agree with). While they are also rated to be solid in things like NC and Comfort. He has them rated one of the worst for sound. When giving equal weights, this is why Apple ended up at the top. His spreadsheet allows you to assign importance factors to all these different categories so you can see what earbuds cater to you the most. The only one leaving a lazy review is you lol
