Overview
The HD 800 open back headphones is built to precision in Germany and crafted to perfection from the finest materials and components. For instance, the transducer component is encased in stainless steel, and the headband and headphone mounting utilizes advanced materials developed for minimum weight and high strength in the aerospace industry.
The upgraded HD 800 S offers even better features, i.e., high precision connectivity options supplied via two connection leads, a 6.3mm connector, and an XLR-4 balanced cable. Both of these connection leads offer better quality sound from sources with balanced outputs like amplifiers.
Absorber technology
The HD 800 S’ enhanced sound reproduction is made possible by the addition of the innovative absorber technology pioneered in the Sennheiser IE 800. This breakthrough preserves the audibility of very high-frequency sounds by eliminating the “masking effect”, a phenomenon where the human ear struggles to accommodate sound frequencies when low frequencies of higher volumes clash. This patented innovation is what the IE 800 the world’s top in headphones,
The 56mm sound transducer is by far the largest ever used in dynamic headphones and sound is directed to the ears via the unique ear cup design carved at a slight angle to promote a natural and spatial listening experience.
