Sennheiser HD800S Headphones

Sennheiser HD800s Audiophile Headphones

The audiophile headphones all others are measured against, the HD 800S doesn’t just raise the ceiling for critical listening—it smashes right through it. Combining the care taken with a handcrafted instrument and the precision of modern manufacturing, 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 HD800S comes in a luxury satin black finish, as opposed to the original HD800's metallic trims. 

Key Features

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 favourably impacts rest and response times. Instead of a single attachment on the outer circumference of the transducer, both the 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 centre of the ring. A feat in itself, the voice coil is 40mm and wound in-house to ensure the shape and consistency are held to the highest standard.

The prestigious Club Orpheus range from German headphone masters; Sennheiser features the company's most prestigious and well-regarded models to date, including the exemplary penultimate HD800. The latest release from Sennheiser's engineers marks a truly impressive accomplishment; improving the already superlative HD800 even further. The sound of the original HD800 has been refined and enhanced to offer an even smoother listening experience thanks to newly developed and innovative shock absorber technology, designed to minimise and reduce any peaks and allow only the finest nuances to become audible. 

The HD 800 S demonstrates over 75 years of audio expertise, redefining the critical listening experience. After launching its predecessor—the HD 800— Sennheiser accepted a self-imposed challenge to completely disappear from the last link in the audio chain. Their 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.
