When it comes to the world of sound, it appears as though finding the perfect audio experience might truly be an endless quest. But when it comes to the audiophile community and casual listeners alike, what’s the answer? Gone are the days of scouring the web to find the latest and greatest sound option for your head or ear from Bose or Sony, among others and unless you have a spare grand or two to drop, you’ll likely still be searching. That’s where I come in. After years of burning out my earbuds in a manner reminiscent of an energy drink or cigarette commercial, I’ve had enough. Or rather, my ears have. Sure, I’ve upgraded in the past, but I always find the sound quality wanting. So, I’m on a journey to find out just what it takes to make the ultimate earbuds, and why the Denon PerL PRO earbuds are a worthy foray into the audiophile world.
It’s a real find: at $159 – half what they cost on Amazon – you’re getting a whole lot of sound for your money. At that price, the PerL PROs could have sounded like complete junk compared with its $349 sibling, but they don’t. The PerL earbuds have a sonic profile that comes pretty close to the PerL PROs for less than a fourth of the price, and every beat and note is a discovery.
Featuring 10 mm dynamic drivers and a frequency response of 20Hz-40kHz, the in-ears combine the latest Masimo Adaptive Acoustic Technology with active noise cancelling to put you in a bubble of sound, with a wide soundstage and deep bass. A Qualcomm aptX Lossless Codec means every single beat is passed on in transmission. Bringing the best of tech and acoustics, the Denon PerL earbuds deliver all the audio fidelity of a live performance in your ear.
The moment Rush’s ‘Analog Kid’ began filling the room, the difference was truly noticeable. There’s a certain intimacy with music that you can only get with a quality loudspeaker, and I’ve never heard that on a pair of $500 laptops. The PerLs produce a deep and open soundstage, balancing out lows, mids, and highs in a way that makes these recordings almost feel 3D. It’s actually possible to experience music rather than just listening to it through the PerLs. They’re so meticulously engineered and painstakingly balanced that you can follow every single instrument and vocal line with spot-on accuracy, not to mention their stunning bass response.

For purists, the differences might be heard but, from a musical standpoint, the PerL PRO earbuds grasp the sweet spot for many listeners and is a serious competitor for the Pro.
The Denon PerL earbuds are a pair that says: ‘You don’t need to be an audiophile wealthy to have great quality sound.’ They can be yours for $159. Quality earbuds don’t have to be expensive. Such audio quality is hard to rival. The comfort, the sound, the technology – your ears will never be sorry. They’ll make music fun again. A sound that can become your sanctuary, beautifully isolated, tight, clear and vivid.
And if you are looking to enjoy music the way that music deserves to be heard, and do not want to spend a fortune, then there is no other choice than the Denon PerL. This is what audio Nirvana feels like. It is what music sounds like, for an audiophile and for anyone who just wants to have the best audio experience, provided by the best technology, with the utmost comfort.
The term ‘pro’ is often used to connate excellence and superiority; the ‘Pro’ in Denon PerL PRO earbuds tells the world this is the best in audio, the highest grade to achieve, the finest quality earbuds possible – where ‘pro’ level signifies a dedication to acoustic performance ideal, where technology is met with peak engineering to make earbuds for those seeking the highest calibre listening experience possible. Whether the deep bass, the clarity of the mids or the airyness of the highs, the Denon PerL PRO earbuds are for the most discerning among us.
To sum up, when we open the box containing the Denon PerL PRO, we’re not opening a set of earbuds. We’re opening a new experience of sound, one that contains so much information of the emotional and musical nuance contained in a recording that it’s long overdue the accolades it deserves. At the price they sell at, they are the square root of every other bit of audio hardware masquerading as quality but blocked from delivering their best. For anyone willing to risk a deep dive into the fullest experience of sound, the Denon PerL PRO earbuds are your portal to paradise.
