Sennheiser Consumer Audio Hd 800 S Over-The-Ear Audiophile Reference Headphones - Ring Radiator Drivers With Open-Back Earcups, Includes Balanced Cable, 2-Year Warranty (Black), Wired

I connected the headphone to Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200m Headphone amplifier output, DacMagic 200m to my laptop via a USB A to B (Ugreen 2 m cable) and it sounds much better than my entry level Hi-Fi system.

received product was seemingly opened before. the box was not wrapped in plastic as you would expect a new product to and i could see that the flap to open the box was a little bit torn off already. i don't know if i got a new item or used one to be honest. i did not get to experience the joy of unboxing a brand new product for the amount of money i paid. disappointing.

I purchased these headphones just a few weeks ago, just as a test to see for myself if $1,800 of headphones could really be worth the price, and i can confidently say that i am not sure i've ever been happier with a purchase in my life. Now i'm not some sound engineer who has been working with headphones all my life and is here to tell you the indepth technical specs of these headphones, there are other reviews that do that much better than i could. This is simply my personal opinion as a consumer who enjoys a high quality sound. From the second you open the box you can tell these headphones are something special, with the solid hindged box, nestling these headphones in a silk holder, to just the polished sturdy look of the headphones themselves. They are unbelievably light, with cushions that are not overly large but still very comfortable, making it easy to forget that i'm even wearing them. Now, knowing that these headphones would require a little extra power i went ahead and order a DAC to pair with them, and would highly recommend doing the same, but even going through a four dollar adapter and plugged into my phone these headphones still provided a better sound then anything i have owned before. As someone who has a broad taste in music, and enjoys some online gaming in my spare time, these headphones appealed to me because of how versatile their range and tone are. These headphones are open-backed, something you should look into before considering these headphones as it could change your mind entirely, basically this allows for the headphones to deliver a much wider sound stage. I kinda like to explain this as "it's like having the worlds best home speaker an inch for your ear." but that doesn't truly do these justice. The open back makes you feel as if you're actually in the same room as the people playing the music, it's hard to describe and understand until you've felt it yourself, and after a few days adjusting to how it feels, i can't say i'll ever miss closed back headphones. That being said the main draw back to open-backed headphones is that they don't stop noise, from coming in or going out. As someone who uses these alone in a quiet studio or room this doesn't bother me, but if you're in a place where you don't want other people heading your music, or don't want to hear other people, then you might want to rethink these headphones. Most people say that headphones in this price range are all about opinion and music taste, and i would agree with that completely, but as someone who listens to almost any type of music, i've come to really appreciate the HD 800 S's range and sound quality. I like to make a little bet with my friends when they come over by telling them to pick their favorite song and see if they can hear something they've never heard before, and every time they have. These headphones are perfect for instrumental music, such as jazz or classical music. They easily balance a whole band allowing you to hear not just every note the melody plays, but every not from the counter-melody, harmony, bass line, you name it. That being said, listening to things like the Hamilton Soundtrack where you would want the voices to shine out give you just that. They are a bit bass light, but they still pack enough of a punch to give me chills on a good bass drop. The HD 800 S also excel in online gaming. The open sound stage and lightness of the headphones makes for a completely immersive feeling that no close back gaming headset could ever replicate. It feels as though you could find something in the game after closing your eyes with how accurate the sound is. Over all the HD 800 S perfectly fit my musical and gaming needs all while providing a sleek comfortable feel, giving me something that i look forward to putting on at the end of the day.

In short, Comfort is top notch, very light and no pressure after long sessions, cable is lil too heavy but a replacement is always an option. Sound is very good and detailed, might be too detailed actually.. it’s wide and open but still enjoyable. Note tho the headphone may not be a musical set unless you are using a warmer DAC or tubes. It’s very good with classical and instruments. EDM, hip-hop not that much since the bass is not punchy but it exists! In gaming these are definitely an S tier because you can hear everything clearly and with that comfort crazy combo. Yes it’s pricey but if you have the budget it’s a unique headphone for sure.

Great headphones. I bought these a few weeks ago. I originally owned the hd600s and really liked them only had them for a couple of months but I felt they were lacking something. It was a difficult decisions deciding between these and the original 800's. I read up that you could mod the original 800's to sound as good or better than these but I really didn't want to open up the phones especially because of there price. Anyway when I first got these It was a little disappointing. However, After a couple weeks of listening to these you can really notice a sound quality difference between these and the original 600s. These have a fair bit more detail. The separation and sound stage is also very impressive. Now I have not got a chance to listen to these over the original 800's so I cant compare there sound stage or anything else for that matter. Are these worth the money? Well that is a difficult question. Especially if you are someone with a small amount of disposable income. I would highly recommend listening to these first to make sure they really are for you. It is really a matter of opinion whether or not they are worth they are worth money. In my opinion. They are just about worth it. Especially if you use the included balanced cable. I love these phones they are what I use primarily now. I would love to test these out on a few other amp and dacs and see if there is noticeable improvement. TLDR: Great headphones.If you have the extra cash and audio is very important to you buy these. (Just make sure you have a suitable amp and Dac) If you don't have allot of extra money and you still want these listen to them at a local dealer and then decide for yourself.
