    Your music like you've never heard it before!

    Had been looking at the 650/660 headphones for a long time. Between big sale and open box discounts, opted for the 820's. Sure glad I did! These headphones, powered by the Sennheiser HDV 820 Headphones Amplifier along with aftermarket 4 pin XLR headphone cable are incredible. EVERY CD sounds like a whole new listening experience. Soundstage is spectacular! I highly recommend these headphones!

    One of the best, when paired with a good amp

    Paired with my Marantz amp and the sound is nothing short of amazing. I'm used to using Bose (QC45) and Sony (WXM-004) Bluetooth headphones and while they are great for traveling, the HD820's are simply levels above in sound clarity. It's a whole new experience.

    First pair of Audiophile over-ears I've bought

    The difference in sound stage to another pair that's around $400 like the momentum 3s (which I also have) is like night and day. Every instrument and even the vocals become more crisp and pronounced.

For audiophiles there wasn’t any doubt: When it came to circumaural headphones the very best sound required an open back design. This axiom has now been rendered obsolete by the youngest member of the Sennheiser Audiophile Range: The closed dynamic HD 820 employ an innovative technology that makes them sound breathtakingly transparent and natural. Developed and made in Germany, they offer an incredibly realistic, natural sound field and also stand apart by the extraordinary attention given to every detail of their design. Their soft comfortable microfiber ear pads are hand crafted, providing excellent attenuation of ambient noise, while the robust metal headband includes an inner damping element. Get ready for an unparalleled listening experience. Developed and manufactured in Germany, the HD 820 is a closed, reference-grade audiophile headphone that a combines an innovative glass reflector and Ring Radiator transducer technology for a benchmark listening experience as vivid as it is uninterrupted. The HD 820 fuses Sennheiser's bleeding-edge acoustic capabilities with exceptional reduction of ambient noise. Until now, the audiophile headphone experience could only begin with an open back design or loudspeakers. The HD 820 sacrifices neither detail nor sound field by using breakthrough acoustical systems in a closed, dynamic headphone. The reference-class experience of the HD 820 is achieved with the use of precision concave glass reflectors, one capping each earcup. These functional plates reflect energy from the rear of the driver to a specially tuned absorber system, allowing the waves to mimic the behavior of open headphones such as the HD 800 S. The result is a sound stage never before experienced in a sealed headphone. The headphone’s vibration damping headband provides complete stability while reducing crosstalk. What you put into the HD 820 is precisely what you will get out of it. Each transducer is manufactured, tested, and measured to an extremely tight tolerance to ensure the most dependable performance out of the box. Each HD 820 also includes the frequency response plot unique to that set’s serial number, sparing no resource to help you retrieve the most critical details from every corner of your music collection. The 56mm Ring Radiator transducer found in the HD 820 leverages the key benefit of a large diaphragm speaker—air displacement. Both outer and inner edges of the “ring” are secured to the drive unit to keep it rigid for fast rest and response times. The result is accurate response spanning the entire frequency spectrum.

Sennheiser - HD 660S2 Wired Over-the-Ear Headphones - Black

Despite the HD 660S’s standing as one of the world’s popular audiophile headphones, some customers nevertheless wanted one very specific enhancement: even deeper bass. Because whether it’s a thunderous crescendo of timpani or the pulsating beat of electronic dance music, there is nothing like accurate, powerful sub bass to infuse your listening with drama. Audiophiles—and anyone looking for comfortable, non-fatiguing, high-end headphones—can now get even more impact and emotion from the HD 660S2. The headphone’s warm, relaxed tone is reflected by their timeless styling with elegant bronze accents. With its open-back design and outstanding comfort, the HD 660S2 is also destined to be a favorite for long listening sessions. This version builds on all the strengths of its formidable predecessor. The same world-class precision and resolution still let you pick out individual instruments like with no other headphone. Or experience the joy of discovering sonic details in recordings you’ve known for years—now underscored with more and deeper low end. Indeed, the standard-setter for extended listening has now become the standard-setter for extended bass as well. Enhancing this heralded audio design without detracting from its many strengths was, however, a daunting task. So, our engineers set out to systematically identify and exploit every opportunity in their quest to improve on the acclaimed HD 660S design. We adjusted the compliance of the surround, for instance, dropping the resonance frequency to 70 Hz. Considerable effort went into optimizing the airflow around the transducer. The coil in the HD 660S2 has also been revised to match the legendary HD 600 & 650, resulting in an impedance of 300 ohms. The coil offers a high magnetic force and electrical damping for a clean impulse response. It also increases sensitivity over the entire frequency spectrum by using the magnet’s air gap more efficiently. Taken together, these efforts and more have paid off in spades. Sound pressure at the lowest octaves has doubled. Now, you can feel the music more than ever before—with all the depth and weight that ultra-low frequencies invoke. The lowest A on the piano (27.5 Hz) or the pounding root note of a bass drum (45-60 Hz) are just as big, expansive, and imposing as if they were live. The unique combination of impactful bass combined with the warm tuning and smooth treble will be a revelation for audiophile listeners. It’s an even better way to lose yourself in comfortable, non-fatiguing, high-end sound—while feeling its full low-end power.
