Sennheiser HD 800S Headphones Black

Allow me: The HD 800 S. It is a stylish and optimized version of the multiple award winner HD 800. This headphone has more than 60 years of experience in headphone development. Using Sennheiser's advanced driver technology, these open, circumaural dynamic stereo headphones redefine the term reference audio. The HD 800 is a complete success and has become a pioneer in headphone development.

The modern classic HD 800 headphones deliver natural and detailed sound. It is not easy to optimize a successful and seemingly perfect formula. But Sennheiser's engineers managed to improve the sound reproduction of the open, circumaural HD 800 S.

The multi-layered metal and the plastic headphone construction dampen the vibrations in the ear cups. The handcrafted microfiber ear pads provide exceptional comfort for long-lasting listening pleasure.

Handcrafted to perfection, the HD 800 and HD 800 S are made in Ireland from the finest materials and components. The transducer is encased in precision stainless steel material, while the headband and headphones use aerospace industry materials for maximum performance and minimum weight.

Absorber technology of the HD 800 S

The innovative absorber technology, which is already used in the Sennheiser IE 800, is also used in the new HD 800 S. This improves sound quality - a breakthrough that preserves the audibility of very high sound frequencies. This happens through elimination, a phenomenon also known as the 'masking effect'. The human ear tries to hear sound frequencies when low frequencies of high volume occur at the same time.

Even the finest nuances of music become audible by absorbing the resonance energy. Thanks to the patented Sennheiser absorber technology, which prevents unexpected volume peaks and allows all frequency components. This innovation is the key element that makes the IE 800 the best sounding in-ear headphones in the world. This innovation also gives the HD 800 S great purity and precision.
