First and foremost, I would like to thank Denon for sending me out the AH-NCW500’s for review. I was quite intrigued with the new range of headphones that Denon were offering, especially after the old range of headphones became phased out (D2/5/7000).
The wireless headphones range, thus was something that I was intrigued in, as it would be a little different from the “normal” range of headphones, both in portability and features.

The Denon AH-NCW500’s can be bought from AmazonUK & AmazonUSA.

First of all I would like to thank the lovely Tanya, from Fischer Audio for sending me out the FA-002W Master Series High Edition Headphones!
Before getting into the review I would like to say that Fischer Audio was to me, an unknown, but yet a very established brand in Asia. Thus it came to my delight when I found these earphones being listed around the EU a little more; For example, the FA-002W’s can be bought from Top Dog Headphones, who are also an authorised dealer!
