There's has always been a debate between electronic reproduction and natural sound. The Sennheiser HD-800 is the headphone that has been specifically engineered in replicating the basic acoustic conditions of natural hearing. This level of performance has yet to be matched by any competitor. The HD-800 is the ultimate headphone to deliver nature. More than 60 years of ingenious headphone engineering has been applied into the new HD 800. Incorporating Sennheiser's most advanced driver technology, these open, circum-aural dynamic stereo headphones redefine what reference-level audio is all about. You will form an altogether new height of sonic perspective as you experience a high-fidelity natural hearing experience. Premium parts have gone into their production - the transducer is encased by a precision material made of stainless steel; ear pads are made of special high-quality Japanese Alcantara; while the headband and headphone mounting utilizes the most advanced development from the aerospace industry. In terms of connectivity, these headphones utilize specially designed, four-wire, high-performance connections with Teflon insulation. These headphones have been developed to provide the closest match to "being there" than any other available headphone.

I don't know what it means to hear "the air between the strings" and other such audiophile descriptions. More power to those that can -- I am simply not able to do so. I do however know that music is and always has been my greatest entertainment, and that as I have grown older, my ability to pay higher dollar for my equipment has also grown. No way could I have had these headphones in past times. No way could I have justified their cost. Other priorities would have always taken precedence over these. But now that I can afford them, I still debated and agonized over the cost, but in the end decided I would go for them. Am I glad? Absolutely. They are without question the best sounding headphones I have ever heard. I could hear the difference straight out of the box, I did not even do "A to B" comparisons to know how good they sounded. I did do comparisons with my HD600 to HS650 upgrade and was never sure I heard much difference. Not so with the HD800s...

They are not available yet via Amaxon UK, hence my review on this site. It took 10 weeks of very considerable pressure (via my good friend Mark, at HiFi Corner in Falkirk!) to persuade the powers that be in Sennheiser to ship me a set. These finally arrived on Friday 24th July. All HD800's are uniquely set up and have their own serial number engraved on the head band (mine is 01327). The come in sumptuous packaging! To get the best out of these phones, you are well advised to invest in a serious headphone amp (I use the Lehmann Black Cube Audio) and some decent interconnects (Chord Anthem 2) to whatever your source is (Sony CDP - 3100 broadcast player). The sky's the limit to the kit you can connect. These phones will not win you friends on the bus or plane - they are open-backed, so very noisy. You need to get away from the world! These are man-size phones...

I've heard too many "breakthroughs" that just couldn't deliver the goods. This product is different. It's hard to describe a piece of gear which, upon first listen, sounds different than anything you've heard, yet sounds so completely effortless and musical that you're left with the singular impression that the previous way you've listened to music is somehow incomplete, a wrong path if you will, and that this is clearly a better way. I can't imagine anyone buying these and not being thrilled. They are a rare product indeed -- one that adds a significant new dimension to recordings you may have owned for years and thought you knew. LONG-WINDED VERSION: First some background. Music is very important to me; I played the cello for many years, currently sing in a gospel choir, and now do my own audio... Read more |
