Denon has cracked out another set of headphones for the audiophile - this time it's the AH-D7000 reference headphones.

Supposedly combining excellent craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technologies, the AH-D7000 "redefines the ultimate in headphone listening", say Denon.

Either way you'll get (50mm, 1.97 inch) free edge microfibre diaphragms that provide extended frequency response, from the lowest bass notes all the way up to 45 kHz, to provide the ultimate listening experience for all kinds of sources.

High strength Neodymium magnets provide high efficiency and freedom from motor structure non-linearity while the "elegant housings are crafted from real mahogany wood, with intricate internal carving to enhance the natural tonal balance, and are finished in an elegant soft satin piano gloss".

The catch? £799.99.
