How it's going to work:
- Every few minutes, we're going to release more inventory.
- Shortly, the button below will turn back to yellow (unless we sell out).
- At that point, try adding it to your cart again.
Pro Tip: If that works, checkout as fast as you can. It won't be reserved until you are in checkout. Good luck!

Best of Sennheiser headphones!

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5The sound is open, highly detailed and the slideshow is huge. I recommend you have a good amp to power these babies. I bought the Sennheiser amp which cost me another 800 but it powers them prefect.

Audio done right.
Posted .Pros mentioned:Bass, Design, Sound qualityI would recommend this to a friendI've listened to many headphones in my time, (bose, akg, audio-technica, audeze & hifi planars, b&w, etc.), if you're looking for the ultimate listening experience with dynamic headphones, then this is your final stop. Let's start with the massive 56mm drivers, they are the largest drivers currently used in dynamic headphones, providing you with excellent sound quality. The design behind these headphones are specific to improve your listening experience. They feel like quality in your hands, almost like you can drop them without being worried ( not that I would recommend dropping them ). The detail in audio is on point and you'll hear sounds you haven't heard before in the songs you enjoy. Vocals are clean and beautiful, bass is spot on, everything is nice and balanced. Pair these with a DAC, solid state amp, or tube amp, and your listening experience will go through the roof. Comfort is something people are always concerned about, nobody wants to have their ears hurting or sweaty after hours of use, I can safely say that these conform to just about any head size, and with hours of use you will not feel any discomfort or sweat. The band is comfortable and adjusting them is smooth, oh so smooth. Is it worth the $1,700 or so that you will be paying? If you enjoy listening to music, then absolutely. I've let my friends use them and they aren't audiophiles, but they understand and wish they could own a pair. These headphones are no joke (300ohm impedance, yum!) and require a good AMP and DAC to get the best out of them. You can run them with an adapter on your PC, but you will be missing out on their true potential.

Stunning detail
|Posted .Pros mentioned:Design, Sound qualityI would recommend this to a friendWhile I have only owned / listened to the Sennheiser HD 800 S for a short period of time I can say that they are the best headphones I have ever heard. The detail is stunning, low level resolution is amazing. I am hearing things on discs I know well that I have never heard before. Jane Monheit's Taking A Chance On Love album is a prime example. The HD 800 S is very light and comfortable too.

best dynamic drive headphone in the world
|Posted .Pros mentioned:BassI would recommend this to a friendUltra high quality bass, extremely fast and punchy. Very large sound stage, everything sounds big/wide and epic. I have never heard imaging so precise. Best headphone you can buy under $4,000. Keep in mind, if you don't have a world class dad/amp and a high quality source. Those headphone will bring out every flaws in the recordings, its like watching VHS on a TOTL 4k OLED.

Sennheiser HD 800S
|Posted .Pros mentioned:Sound qualityI would recommend this to a friendThese headphones are the best I've ever own. The built quality is amazing and the sound quality makes you feel like you are at the studio with the artist or at the concert in the front seats. If you enjoy music these are a must buy. I know the price is pretty high but worth every penny. I also game with these headphones and you can heard every single detail of the environment.
Q: QuestionWhy is the price of a headphone that should be priced at $400 exactly 4x of that.
Asked by kweber.
- A:Answer They cost $1700 how the heck did you come up with "should be priced at $400" the company that makes it determines the price not some random person.... If you don't want to pay this much then try the hd700 or one of the other more affordable headphones out their. Here are some headphone brands. Audeze, focal, mrspeakers, akg, Sony, meze, zmf. "They are the best out there" what about the sennheiser Orpheus or focal Utopia or audeze lcd4? "A pair of beats costs ~$200-400. At 400x the sound quality of beats, these are a steal." Diminishing returns their are alot of high end headphone brands + you need to buy a amplifier for these headphones
