Denon Drops Next-Gen True Wireless Duo

Denon Expands Wireless Earbud Lineup with AH-C500W and AH-C840NCW: Comfort, Performance, and All-Day Battery LifeDenon has introduced two new models to its wireless earbuds collection — the AH-C500W and AH-C840NCW — delivering high-fidelity audio, practical features, and ergonomic comfort designed for listeners who are always on the move. Coming off the heels of the successful premium PerL Pro release, Denon’s latest offerings aim to bring their signature sound quality and performance to a more accessible price point without compromising quality.The more affordable option, the Denon AH-C500W, stands out with its FreeEdge 12mm dynamic drivers, offering what Denon calls “high-performance sound” powered by Bluetooth LE Audio technology. Featuring an open-fit earbud design that’s reminiscent of the AirPods (3rd Gen), these earbuds are ideal for users who prefer non-in-ear solutions.With an IPX4 water-resistance rating, the AH-C500W earbuds can handle light rain and sweat, making them a great companion for workouts and daily commutes. Denon claims up to 24 hours of total battery life when including the charging case — and a quick 10-minute top-up gets you an extra hour of playtime.Call quality hasn’t been neglected either. A dual-microphone setup in each earbud ensures clear voice calls, while compatibility with Auracast allows seamless audio sharing with an expanding list of supported devices.For those looking for a feature-enhanced version, the AH-C840NCW takes everything great about the C500W and throws in a few key upgrades — most notably, adaptive hybrid active noise cancellation. With a transparency mode built-in, users can toggle between focused listening and environmental awareness with ease.The AH-C840NCW also ups the ante in endurance, delivering up to 35 hours of total playback via the charging case. Got five minutes? That’s all you need for a 60-minute charge boost — perfect for getting out the door in a hurry.As an in-ear design, the AH-C840NCW comes with customizable soft silicone ear tips in small, medium, and large to ensure the best possible fit and superior passive noise isolation. And like their more budget-friendly sibling, they also support Bluetooth LE Audio, Auracast streaming, and come with the same IPX4 water resistance rating.Both models are available in classic black or white finishes. The Denon AH-C500W is priced at £99/€99, while the feature-packed AH-C840NCW comes in at £159/€159, offering high-end features at an accessible price for audio enthusiasts.With these two wireless earbud options, Denon continues to solidify its reputation for delivering superior sound quality, robust battery life, and cutting-edge features — now at a price range that’s more inclusive for day-to-day listeners and audio lovers alike.
