Headphones Sennheiser HD 800 S

Sennheiser HD800S are open-back dynamic headphones of premium class, designed for professionals and the most demanding audiophiles. They are the successor to the legendary HD800 model, retaining all the key advantages of the classic design while improving it with modern technology and experience. Each pair of HD800S is handmade at the Sennheiser factory in Ireland, undergoing thorough testing, with measurement results archived and accessible via the serial number.

Externally, the headphones look futuristic yet warmer and more “home-like” thanks to the matte black finish. The design combines a stainless steel frame with cups made of high-tech Leona composite material reinforced with fiberglass. This ensures high durability and incredible lightness – only 330 g, making the HD800S among the lightest headphones in their class. The ear pads and headband are covered with breathable velvet microfiber, ensuring comfort even during long listening sessions.

The headphones come with a 3 m audiophile-grade cable made of oxygen-free copper, 36 AWG cross-section, with a symmetrical Y-shaped design and secure locks for each cup. The open-back design promotes natural sound wave propagation and ensures maximum transparency. The drivers are protected by a thin metal mesh that does not interfere with airflow or acoustics but reduces noise isolation, so listening is best done in a quiet environment.

At the heart of the HD800S are massive 56 mm drivers with 40 mm coils and a unique ring-shaped diaphragm. This design provides record-breaking speed, exceptional resolution, and completely eliminates distortion. This allows the headphones to convey the finest nuances of instruments, voice, and room acoustics, creating a sense of presence akin to a live concert.

The HD800S feature a wide holographic soundstage, where each instrument and performer has its own clearly defined position in three-dimensional space. The lower range extends down to 10 Hz, providing deep bass that can be felt tactically. The damping technology reduces unwanted resonances in the mid and high range, eliminates masking effects, and allows previously unnoticed details to be heard.

With balanced sound and slight emphasis on low and high frequencies, the HD800S remain ideal for professional monitoring and enjoying music. The headphones fully immerse the listener in the composition, conveying the “soul” of the music, where each sound blends into a cohesive acoustic tapestry, providing maximum listening pleasure.
