Just like your fingerprints, your ears are completely unique to you. Everyone processes sound slightly differently, meaning while two notes might sound alike, there will be slight nuances in how each of us hears them. Now Denon has created a pair of true wireless earbuds that adjust the audio depending on your personal sound profile, matching the sound exactly to your specific hearing. Beats will have more impact, vocals will be clearer. You might even discover new elements to a much-loved song that you never noticed before, breathing new life into some of your favourite tracks.
Think of them as the sonic equivalent of a made-to-measure suit. Ready to see what they can do?
Designed for you
The Denon PerL and PerL Pro use Masimo Adaptive Acoustic Technology (AAT) to measure your hearing and optimise every frequency just for you. Here’s how it works.
First, put the earbuds into your ears, and follow the ear tip fit test instructions in the mobile app to make sure you’ve got a good seal. The AAT test involves a series of beeps that alter in pitch and speed to detect which frequencies you are most sensitive to – the AAT adjusts the sound to these sensitivities so that the headphones are uniquely tuned to you. This creates your own unique sound profile. The Denon PerL then adjust their sound output to match it, enhancing the frequencies you’re less sensitive to so that you don’t miss any of a track’s subtleties.
You can save up to three personalised profiles, so friends and family can use the Denon PerL without missing out on the full experience. And if you wish, you can switch back to default mode at any time to hear the difference.
But there’s more customisation at hand. Within the app, you can tweak the adjustable EQ sliders in default mode, so the standard sound is tuned to your preferences. And immersion mode lets you adjust the amount of bass – add more to make it more audible in noisy environments like a busy street scene, or just to get your head nodding. Earbuds don’t come any more bespoke.
Built for life
Personalisation aside, the Denon PerL are a truly premium pair of wireless earbuds. Active noise cancellation (ANC) helps block out background sound, so you can concentrate on the music, podcast or radio station of your choice. Or you can use it to create some peace and quiet – handy if you need to focus for work or study.
The sound quality is second to none, thanks to two top-tier technologies that are part of the Denon PerL Pro: Qualcomm’s aptX Adaptive, and spatial audio from Dirac Virtuo. aptX allows for higher-quality wireless sound than standard Bluetooth codecs, while spatial audio creates an immersive ‘bubble’ of sound with added height channels – it’s more like listening in a concert hall than through headphones.
The Denon PerL Pro offer eight hours of battery life from the earbuds (24 including the portable charging case), while the standard PerL will last six hours on a single charge (18 hours including the case). For most people, that’s enough for a whole week’s listening without having to plug into a mains socket.
There’s also Bluetooth multipoint, which lets you switch between wireless devices seamlessly, so you can go from listening to music on your phone to a Zoom call on your laptop without having to re-pair your headphones. And both the Denon PerL and PerL Pro come in black and white to suit your individual style.
It all makes for a genuinely next-level pair of headphones, ones that bring you the most customisable audio experience around. Music is truly personal. Now how you listen is too.
