Sennheiser HD800s

Sennheiser HD800s flagship headphones. HD800s over ear, open back is an industry reference of excellence.

One of the best headphones on the market to use in the studio as a reference and wonderful for home use to enjoy a huge variety of music types.

Black finish, includes both a 3m cable w/ 1/4" and 3m cable with 4.4mm terminations. (If your amp has XLR, add a DDhifi XLR44b - XLR adaptor in accessories section- works like a charm!).

These can give great results plugged into an integrated amp or receiver and there is usually another level of performance to enjoy when used with a quality, dedicated headphone amp. The 300 ohm headphones work well with amps such as the new Aune s9c Pro dac/amp or Aune S17 Pro amp are a natural match. High end tube amps are a common match also. The new Fiio K19 is an outstanding dac & balanced headphone amp, perfect for the HD800s, with a dynamic, spacious sound and its 31 band Parametric EQ built in. 

The HD800s provide one of, if not the best, open, wide soundstage, giving music a natural, spacious feeling, as well as a very balanced frequency response and enormous amounts of detail.

Sennheiser HD800s have very spacious earcups and excellent ergonomics, fitting close to the head, little clamping force and a light weight compared to other top of the line models.

These are perfect for wearing long hours at a time. Drivers are a unique design, a huge 56mm ring radiator mounted at an angle to improve the soundstage.

Sennheiser HD800s review:

Whathifi.com: 5 Stars :Although many people will have doubts about spending so much money on a pair of headphones, if sound quality is your main priority, then you should consider that you’d need to spend around 10 times as much on speakers to get anywhere near the Sennheisers’ insight and resolution.

Tip - Wearing glasses does not effect the sound much at all - there isn't much of a seal, so the earpads can sit on your glasses' arms without changing the sound much.
