amazon Denon AH-GC20 reviews

The AH-GC20 is a wireless headset with active noise cancellation to enhance the listening experience from the long-standing audio company Denon.

Modern society is increasingly dynamic, accompanied by the tendency to use wireless devices to the throne because of the convenience of these devices. In addition to compact in-ear headphones, wireless over-ear headphones are also gradually becoming popular through names like Bose, Monster, Beat, Sennheiser. To keep up with the trend, Denon – the audio brand from Japan, has launched the AH-GC20 Bluetooth wireless headset model.

Design

Denon AH-GC20 is boxed, not fussy but feels quite luxurious. Included accessories include a headphone bag, a Micro USB port charging cable, a standard 3.5mm signal cable to directly connect the headset to the transmitter, a 3.5mm to 6mm converter jack, and an airline adapter.

The highlight of the design of the AH-GC20 is the armrest; the metal earcup holder is covered with silver paint, the same color as the brand name on the earcup, creating a sense of certainty and elegance. The headband frame is covered with leather and thick padding, creating a small but smooth pressure on the top of the head when worn.

The earcup of the AH-GC20 is quite large with a 40mm driver, giving a lot of space even for people with big ears, but the earpads are not completely closed; people next to you can hear what you hear if you turn on high volume. The headset’s weight is quite light because the manufacturer only uses metal materials in the necessary parts; even the outer surface of the earcup is also used plastic. This type of plastic gives a very good grip, but it also has a disadvantage: it is easy to leave fingerprints.

At the right earlobe is remote control function keys, including volume up/down, on/off control or song switching, switch to activate active noise cancellation function, port 3.5mm jack, and Micro-USB charging port. Users can also make calls using the function key on the left earcup.

Wireless connectivity and active noise cancellation

Making a wireless connection on the AH-GC20 is extremely simple. Hold the Play button for about 5 seconds to show the blue/red LED blinking continuously, then on the smartphone, select AH-GC20 to connect, and you can listen to music. AH-GC20 uses the latest Bluetooth version 4.0, allowing connection to 2 external devices at the same time. You can listen to music on the music player and receive incoming calls from your phone, which is very convenient!

The active noise cancellation function on the AH-GC20 works quite well, filtering out most of the noise coming from the outside. When this feature is turned off, we feel the background buzzing. Thus, if you want to experience the full music, it is best to completely leave the noise cancellation mode.

Sound Experience

The sound quality of the AH-GC20 depends a lot on the way the user listens. When testing with the cable and with noise cancellation turned off, the sound was not too impressive. It seems that listening when the headset runs out of battery is not recommended by the manufacturer. In return, the built-in battery of the AH-GC20 is quite long, with a duration of up to 20 hours after only a full charge.

When turning on the noise cancellation function or switching to listening with a wireless connection, the sound quality of the AH-GC20 is significantly improved. The mid and treble ranges of the AH-GC20 are slightly backward, while the bass range is quite strong. With good bass control, this headset model is suitable for playing with music that requires a lot of basses, such as pop, rock, EDM, reggae… Lots of basses but not sloppy, enough to please both normal listeners and listeners bass heads. We tried listening continuously for several hours but still found it comfortable and did not feel a headache.

In general, if you have a relatively common music taste, the AH-GC20 is a worthy headset with good enough sound quality, comfort, and a long-lasting battery, suitable for frequent travel needs.
