Sennheiser - HD 800 S Over-the-Ear Headphones - Black

You hear all the music with these phones. You need the equipment to go with them of course. Yes they are expensive, but I don’t regret it.

After much hemming & hawing for years, I finally pulled the trigger and bought the Sennhesier HD800s. I am not disappointed at all! Beautiful detail and widely subtle soundstage. At first listen, It didn't sound too much different from my HD600. But after auditioning them for a few weeks (thanks to Best Buy's generous return policy) These are going to be my 'end game' headphones. Depending on your personal listening musical tastes, it really doesn't need EQing. I use a moderate bass increase, and top off the 6k treble range, and it's is about perfect now. And these sound really awesome with movies and TV shows! Imho, definitely worth the investment.

What can you say, Sennheiser has perfected this open back design and consumers are heaping the benefits.

This is one top notch flagship headphone. Great pick up if you have the money to spend on a great Sennheiser.

I'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.

Ultra 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.

Headphones are amazing! Soundstage is great and perfect for gaming.

These 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.
