Summary:
Denon's AH-C50's provide good sound at a wallet friendly price.
An ever-growing market, budget earphones have become more popular than ever, with many wishing to ditch tinny, supplied headphones for a modest upgrade. In response, Denon have launched the Music Maniac range - the British brand’s stab at creating something affordable but still premium.
Denon’s AH-C50 earphones are the entry-level model, and their fit and finish immediately betrays their £39 asking price. The anti-tangle cable (which is nearly always tangled) feels plasticky, and the in-line volume control feels delicate - not what you want for on-the-go listening gear.
