Design
The PXC 250-IIs accomplish a lot, aesthetically speaking, with very little surface area. The AH-NC732s look a bit chunky and plastic by comparison. They are, however, probably a bit more durable as a result.

Frequency Response
The PXC 250-IIs have a much more consistent frequency response.

Distortion
Neither set of headphones has any distortion worth worrying about, but the PXC 250-IIs did have a minimal amount (<1%) in the bass end.

Tracking
Both headphones had some issues with their tracking, but the Denons are a bit more violently inconsistent.

Isolation
The PXC 250-IIs don’t isolate nearly as well as the AH-NC732s.

Comfort
The PXC 250-IIs are more lightweight and comfortable, but that’s not to say the AH-NC732s are necessarily uncomfortable. We don’t foresee anyone having much of a problem with either.

Verdict
The PXC 250-IIs don’t isolate as well as the AH-NC732s, but they have better audio quality and less mass to weigh on your skull.

$99.954Sennheiser CX 680i
The Sennheiser CX 680i in-ear headphones are a decent set of lower-mid-range headphones with a remote & mic. They don't have the best quality and they're not quite as rugged as we would've expected from a set of in-ears aimed at the gym crew, but they're a great value at $100. Read full 13-part review
