The Audiophile Headphones For Music HD 800 headphones from SENNHEISER’s reference class produce sound that is as natural as possible and accurate in every detail. Engineers at SENNHEISER have succeeded in enhancing the sound reproduction of the open, circumaural HD 800 S. It is not easy to improve upon a seemingly perfect formula, but they have done so with the HD 800 S.
The layered metal and plastic headband construction dampens vibrations transmitted to the ear cups, while the handmade microfiber ear pads provide exceptional comfort for even extended listening sessions. The HD 800 and HD 800 S are precision-built in Germany using only the highest quality materials and components.
The transducer is encased in stainless steel, and the headband and headphone mounting use the most advanced materials developed for the aerospace industry in order to achieve maximum strength with minimal weight. The new HD 800 S comes with two connection leads, a 6.3mm connector and a 4.4mm Pentacon balanced cable, to provide even better sound quality from sources with balanced outputs, such as the SENNHEISER HDV 820 headphones amplifier.
