I wouldn't draw any conclusions here tbh. From what I've read, the 7200 sound very different compared to the 9200, so the 5200 may differ considerably as well.I haven't heard the 9200 but own the 5200, which I think are great headphones, and from what I've read the 9200 are better in every way so I would say they were pretty good.
How are they for comfort and do you have a small or bigger head - mine is a bit big and comfort is a major thing for me - thanks for any help!I have them. I had been looking for a top closed for a very long time, tested Audeze LCDXC and many others, but all had a compromise of one sort of other.
Finally, had a few hours listening to the Dan Clark Stealth on a TOTL desktop rig and found the sound quality I was after. Only issue was £4K price tag!
Then came a day of demoing the 7200 and 9200 Denons. On a modest Naim Atom set up, but very impressed. Difference in resolution was clear, 9200 had the same sort of clarity and frequency range I found the the DCS. Superb bass, but not a forced u-shaped sound.
6months later they still impress, and benefit hugely from a powerful desktop amp, they will power nicely off a phone or tablet, but to really appreciate what they can do you need to treat them to a high quality source and amplification.
Having tried some very pricey headphones, the Denon have ended my search, now looking at tube amps
I find them comfy, quite light, and good adjustment. My head I would say is medium, fine for me. Much better than Audeze LCDXC that I tried. Try and get a demo like I did, spent an afternoon comparing to others for sound and comfort. Still loving themHow are they for comfort and do you have a small or bigger head - mine is a bit big and comfort is a major thing for me - thanks for any help!
Thanks a lot for your reply. There aren't many hifi shops within 50 miles of me so demoing isn't easy so I may be using amazon's returns policy.. I'll wait a few days until delivery services are back to normal then order a pair to try along with a few others..!I find them comfy, quite light, and good adjustment.

I'm afraid I won't be feeding back any experience as I was confusing the 5200 with the 9200. One is closer to my budget than the other....I'm very interested in hands (ears) -on experiences of this sort.
Please keep us posted with your thoughts.
The 5200 is still a great headphone, some of the best bass I've heard at that price range and is totally fatigue free, I can listen all night to them.I'm afraid I won't be feeding back any experience as I was confusing the 5200 with the 9200. One is closer to my budget than the other....
I'd still be interested, the 5200 are nearer my financial comfort zone as well!I'm afraid I won't be feeding back any experience as I was confusing the 5200 with the 9200. One is closer to my budget than the other....
