Sennheiser HD 800 S
The audiophile headphones all others are measured against, the HD 800 S doesn’t just raise the ceiling for critical listening—it catapults right through it. The HD 800 S is assembled at Sennheiser’s state-of-the-art facility in Germany so you can explore your entire music collection from the inside out.
The Exploration of Sound
Sennheiser is shaping the Future of Audio – a vision built on a 75-year history of innovation and a continued drive for excellence that is woven into our company’s DNA and culture. Around the world, our employees share this passion in the pursuit of the perfect sound, creating products that exceed expectations and set new benchmarks in audio.
The HD 800 S demonstrates over seven decades of audio expertise, redefining the critical listening experience. Sennheiser’s goal was to provide acoustics so immersive that you the lines between playback and reality were erased. The signature sound of the HD 800 S is possible because of the synergy of every world-class component.
Luxuriously soft earpads rest around the ear for long-term comfort.
Experience the breathtaking sound of a vented earcup that lets soundwaves expand naturally.
Comes with (2) cables for connecting to singled ended 1/4-inch (6.3mm) and balanced 4.4mm Pentaconn outputs such as headphone amplifiers, A/V receivers, audio interfaces and more.
It Has A Ring To It
The heart of the HD 800 S and its striking sound is the 56mm Ring Radiator transducer. It leverages the air displacement of a large speaker diaphragm without losing the rigidity of a smaller one. The result is hyper fast response for superb detail across the entire frequency range. The headphone’s vibration damping chassis and inert headband ensure that what you put into the HD 800 S is precisely what you will get out of it, too.
Each transducer is manufactured, tested, and measured to the tightest tolerance for the most dependable performance out of the box. Even the 40mm voice coil is wound in-house to ensure the shape and consistency is held to the highest standard. 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.
Behind the Mask
Achieving acoustics that are true to the source also requires management of compounding frequency clusters that produce undesirable masking effects. Sennheiser integrated a patented frequency absorber 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. As a result the problematic energy peaks of lower frequencies are controlled to unveil the purity your hi-fi setup is capable of.
