If there is a river of sound running through our lives, the Denon PerL and PerL PRO True Wireless earbuds are a new instrument to help us navigate it. This column, breaking away from biomedical and scientific boundaries, delves into the impact of personalised sound, how it shapes the way we perceive the world through our ears, and how it has the power to make every note, beat and chime personal.
A breakthrough audio experience was at the core of the PerL experience, made possible through a new approach to incorporating sound from Denon’s proprietary Masimo Adaptive Acoustic Technology (Masimo AAT). It is the first earphone which measures not simply the outer part of your ear, but goes deeper: inside the middle and inner ear. The PerL earbuds map your hearing with Otoacoustic Emissions from the Cochlea bone.
This is the possibility – supported by the perception that each ear’s dynamics is as unique as a fingerprint – that has inspired the PerL earbuds. What if every song you listened to was tailored to the one-of-a-kind pattern of your ears’ movements? By extracting a personalised ‘earpint’ from the totality of a listener’s response to the sound through earbuds, tunes might be undistorted to a degree no audiophile has yet heard. The nuances between the left and right ear are revealed as never before. By taking the listener’s listening itself into account, every song feels like a sonic imprint on their own ear.
Then there’s the PerL PRO, for the sound purist who demands exceptional clarity, innovation and performance. It uses Qualcomm aptX Lossless for a transparent-sounding, high-definition transmission, eliminating the usual sonic pitfalls of Bluetooth. The PRO also includes spatial audio with Dirac Virtuo, which creates a cocoon soundstage where the music seems to spread out all around you.
The PerL series features a novel coin-shape form factor, which is not just a light-weight three-dimensional aesthetic but also a functional design optimised for Custom Touch Controls that make it easier for you to control your earbuds: toggle ANC, answer and reject calls, switch between songs. Black and a new white colourway, PerL is made for every moment of your life, from work to play, and everything in between.
The PerL series shows its adaptiveness in the multiple listening modes that the buds offer, adapting to your audio needs no matter where you're at. The Adaptive ANC mode that tones down the noise of the hectic space, or the flipping to Social Mode that keeps your ears on the world, PerL deftly adapts to the life you live on the go. With Multipoint connection, the PerL PRO also enables a smooth transition between devices, perfect for those on the move.
Here is one solution that will guarantee you fear not running out of battery and cue the next song in your playlist midway: up to six hours of playback, and an additional 18 hours of power through its wireless charging case. The PerL series takes it even a step further with the PRO model that guarantees up to eight hours of battery life and another 24 hours of reserve power in the case, for freedom from those frequent charging moments.
As the music world explores pro audio for personal use, the Denon PerL and PerL PRO (in advance of the even more feature-filled Ode PRO) are the first examples of not only earbuds but a customised aural experience. ‘Pro’ in name and action, from hand-tuned soundscapes to custom audio encoding and tuning technology and user-directed design, the earbuds are less a piece of hardware and more a chapel for holy listening. A pro approach to listening brings us closer to the sound of music as a deeply personal experience.
