You may be missing out on what they are capable of if they are plugged into an integrated amp or receiver. The 300 ohm headphones work well with a variety of amps we carry, especially the Burson Soloist 3XP amp, New Aune s9c Pro dac/amp or Aune S17 Pro amp are a natural match and the high end tube Cayin HA3A amp is beautiful from its XLR output. ... for something compact, Shanling H7 dac matches very well through its 4.4mm output - the akm flagship dac and H7's tuning compliment HD800s.
HD800s gives incredible results with a wide variety of high quality headphone amps. 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.
Sennheiser HD800s specs:
I have had the original HD800 when it first came out. The current HD800s beats it, and have all its lightweights!
Sennheiser HD800S headphones, balanced XLR cable. Burson Conductor 3 Reference Roon core running on Ubuntu with direct ALSA support. Headphones and amp take some time to run in but then… just superb Headphones came very quick with same day delivery.
These are amazing headphones. I also wanted to mention fantastic customer service provided by the owner. Thank you!
These are outstanding headphones as you would expect based on the positive reviews on the web and they do not disappoint. I have gone through quite a number of headphones, other open back designs like the HD600 but mainly closed back - Fostex, B&W, NAD, and Aeon Flow. These beat them all. Also I would like to add that you won't find a better source for them than the Headphone Bar, their customer service is unmatched in my experience!
