The striking industrial design combines form and function seamlessly, the layered metal and plastic headband construction attenuating vibrations to the earcups while the handmade microfiber earpads offer exceptional comfort for even long periods of listening enjoyment. Crafted for perfection, the HD 800 and the HD 800 S are developed in Germany and precision-built at Sennheiser’s state-of-the-art Ireland plant from only the finest materials and components. The transducer is encased by stainless steel, while the headband and headphone mounting utilises the most advanced materials developed in the aerospace industry for high strength with minimal weight.**Absorber technology of the HD 800 S**The enhanced sound reproduction of the HD 800 S is achieved through the addition of the innovative absorber technology that was pioneered in the Sennheiser IE 800 – a breakthrough that preserved the audibility of very high frequency sounds by eliminating a phenomenon known as the “masking effect”, where the human ear struggles to hear frequencies of sound when lower frequencies of a higher volume occur at the same time. By absorbing the energy of the resonance, Sennheiser’s patented absorber technology prevents any unwanted peaks and allows all frequency components – even the finest nuances – in the music material to become audible. This innovation was a key element in making the IE 800 the world’s best sounding in ear headphone, and in the HD 800 S it helps to bring even greater purity and precision.Such enhancements build on the formidable achievements of the classic, with the 56mm sound transducer – the largest ever used in dynamic headphones. The unique ear cup design directs sound waves to the ear at a slight angle to create an impressively natural and spatial listening experience. While much appears the same, the enhanced performance within is revealed by a distinctive new look, with the silver finish of the 2009 classic HD 800 making way for high-class matt black for the HD 800 S.

Our goal was to provide acoustics so immersive that your awareness dissolves into the creator’s perspective. On their own, each component of the HD 800 S is world-class. The signature sound of the HD 800 S is possible not because of any one of them, but through the synergy of all of them. Let’s explore. | The heart of the HD 800 S and its striking sound is the 56mm Ring Radiator transducer. | It leverages the key benefit of a large diaphragm transducer—air displacement—without losing the rigidity that favorably impacts rest and response times. Instead of a single attachment on the outer circumference of the transducer, both outer and inner edges of the “ring” are secured to the drive unit. The voice coil excites the diaphragm, connected to the v-shaped groove found near the center of the ring. A feat in itself, the voice coil is 40mm and wound in-house to ensure the shape and consistency is held to the highest standard. | The headphones’ vibration damping chassis and inert headband insert provide complete stability—what you put into the HD 800 S is precisely what you will get out of it. | Each transducer is manufactured, tested, and measured to the tightest tolerance to ensure the most dependable performance out of the box. Even the steel mesh found in the baffle is matched and integrated with consistency in mind, as it contributes to ultra-low variance in the management of travelling sound waves. Each HD 800 S includes the frequency response plot unique to those perfectly matched transducers, sparing no resource to help you retrieve the most critical details from every corner of your music collection. | The HD 800 S features a mesmerizing soundstage that seemingly transports the listener into the recording environment. | This is the result of several key features. The drivers are mounted at a precise angle, guiding the sound directly to the listener’s ears at their natural inflection point. Instead of hearing a sound that forms between your ears, you experience a vivid wash of frequencies and sensory-stimulating transients. When finally combined, the vibration damping chassis, perfectly matched transducer systems and wide-open construction work in concert to provide the most striking soundstage yet. This orientation rivals or exceeds loudspeaker setups costing exponentially more—especially when room acoustics are factored in. The HD 800 S offers you a personal concert hall on-demand—without waking the neighbours. | Delivered by the high-performance transducer with incredible extension. | Achieving acoustics that are true to the source also requires management of compounding frequency clusters that produce undesirable masking effects. We integrated a patented frequency absorber—a principle similar to that found in our breakthrough IE 800S—to reduce resonances that hide extraordinary musical details in plain sight. Further, the transducer system is mounted in a vibration damping chassis using aerospace-grade materials. In concert with the previously mentioned headband, the problematic energy peaks of lower frequencies are controlled to unveil the purity your hi-fi setup is capable of. | Using a high-performance transducer with incredible extension is just one element of the HD 800 S and its advanced sound reproduction system. | The HD 800 S delivers on long-term wearing comfort too, providing a listening experience as luxurious as it is immersive. | Every contact point utilizes ultra-soft microfiber padding, while purpose-built composites reduce weight and unwanted pressure. Each earcup provides dual-axis articulation—as soon as you put them on the HD 800 S will instantly and effortlessly conform to your unique structure. The result is a remarkable listening session that never stands in the way of your passion for hi-fidelity sound reproduction. | Cable with 6.35 mm jack plug | Cable with balanced 4.4 mm jack plug | Manual | Refurbished Learn more Wired Headphones HD 660 S 2 4,670.00 kr Lowest price in the last 30 days: 4,670.00 SEK Add to Cart Add to Cart Click here function redirectToRequest(event,handle) { event.preventDefault(); event.stopPropagation(); event.stopImmediatePropagation(); var target = document.getElementById("he1-form-section"); if (!target) { const targetUrl = $(handle).attr('href'); window.location.href = targetUrl; } else{ var headerOffset = 150; var elementPosition = target.getBoundingClientRect().top + window.pageYOffset; var offsetPosition = elementPosition - headerOffset; window.scrollTo({ top: offsetPosition, behavior: "smooth" }); return false; } } | Refurbished Learn more HD 820 23,409.00 kr Lowest price in the last 30 days: 23,409.00 SEK Add to Cart Add to Cart Click here function redirectToRequest(event,handle) { event.preventDefault(); event.stopPropagation(); event.stopImmediatePropagation(); var target = document.getElementById("he1-form-section"); if (!target) { const targetUrl = $(handle).attr('href'); window.location.href = targetUrl; } else{ var headerOffset = 150; var elementPosition = target.getBoundingClientRect().top + window.pageYOffset; var offsetPosition = elementPosition - headerOffset; window.scrollTo({ top: offsetPosition, behavior: "smooth" }); return false; } } | Refurbished Learn more Wired Headphones HD 600 4,290.00 kr Lowest price in the last 30 days: 4,290.00 SEK Add to Cart Add to Cart Click here function redirectToRequest(event,handle) { event.preventDefault(); event.stopPropagation(); event.stopImmediatePropagation(); var target = document.getElementById("he1-form-section"); if (!target) { const targetUrl = $(handle).attr('href'); window.location.href = targetUrl; } else{ var headerOffset = 150; var elementPosition = target.getBoundingClientRect().top + window.pageYOffset; var offsetPosition = elementPosition - headerOffset; window.scrollTo({ top: offsetPosition, behavior: "smooth" }); return false; } }
