The video discusses various aspects of the Denon Pro microphone system, a rebranded version of the Nura True Pro, now under Denon's ownership. Despite the rebranding, the product maintains its original design and features like aptX Adaptive support and multi-point pairing, with significant attention given to the impact of recent firmware updates.
Testing the call quality in different environments, including noisy places, the presenter compares the Denon Pro to brands like Sony, Jabra, and Technics, emphasizing its strong performance in noise cancellation. However, they find the transparency mode artificial compared to others, despite the clean and impactful sound with some room for improvement in manual tuning.
The Denon app's strengths and limitations are highlighted, noting its support for equalizer tweaks but limited functionality in adjusting noise-canceling intensity or transparency. The Denon earbuds' stable fit is praised for gym use, though the Technics AZ80 offers better customization and supports higher bit rates via the LDAC codec.
Viewers are encouraged to engage with the content through comments and subscriptions and are directed to a review of the Jabra Elite 10, suggested as a cheaper but high-quality alternative to the Denon Pro.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the Denon Pro microphone system, which is a rebranded version of the Nura True Pro. They mention that Denon acquired Nura, and despite the name change, the product retains the same design and features, such as silicone fins for stabilization, aptX Adaptive support, and multi-point pairing. The presenter highlights that this review is particularly relevant due to numerous firmware updates and will include comparisons with other products using sound samples and charts. Additionally, the presenter will discuss the pros and cons of the Denon Pro Pro after testing the microphone’s performance in both quiet and noisy environments, such as a crowded mall and a controlled setting with background noise and wind.

In this part of the video, the speaker tests the call quality of various earbuds in both quiet and noisy environments, including the BMW PI7 S2, Denon Pro, Sony WF, Gemini 2, and Jabra. They conclude that these earbuds are very effective at canceling background and wind noise while keeping the speaker’s voice clear. The active noise cancellation (ANC) is notably effective against human chatter and public noise. The speaker suggests that the earbuds’ performance rivals brands like Sony, Jabra, DV, and Technics.

In this part of the video, the speaker critically evaluates the transparency mode of the Denon Pro Pro earbuds, noting it feels artificial and less transparent compared to other models. They highlight that despite this, the Denon Pro Pro’s main appeal is its sound quality. Straight out of the box, the sound is clean with impactful bass, but vocals seem overly emphasized and somewhat radio-like. The spatial audio mode improves the experience, giving a wider channel feel, but it still doesn’t meet the speaker’s preference for a V-shaped sound with fuller base and lower mids. The speaker also notes difficulty in manually tuning the sound to their liking due to limitations in the graphic EQ bands. The evaluation continues with a brief mention of how another model, the A82 T, provides a preferable sound experience.

In this part of the video, the reviewer discusses the customization options and user experience of the Denon earbuds using the Denon app, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses. The app allows for further tweaking with an equalizer and supports creating multiple measurements for different ear tips. However, it has a long loading time and lacks options to adjust noise cancelling intensity or transparency. The long press gesture is limited to pairing mode, which could be improved. Despite these drawbacks, the sound quality after AAT calibration is praised, preferring it over the BMW Pi7 S2. The reviewer also notes the Denon’s stable fit due to wing tips, making them suitable for gym use, though the Technics AZ80 offers better user experience and customization options. The Technics also support LDAC codec streaming for higher bit rates on most Android devices.
