Verdict

Downgrade

The Denon Ah-D9200 actually scores 12.9 points below the Wavefun Wave Pro X, so on aggregate review consensus this is a step backwards. The gains are concentrated in sound (8.5 to 9.1). You do give up ground on value (9.0 to 5.9). On paper: driver size 40 mm to 50 mm. Worth checking: active noise cancelling goes No to No and drivers per side goes 2 to 1. One caution: this steps down a line tier (Wave Pro X to Ah-D9200), and base models usually trade away tier features - check the codec and ANC rows above before trusting the score gap alone. And it costs $1669 more for a lower score, which is hard to justify on the data alone. Only worth it if a specific feature above matters more to you than overall quality does.
