Combining the care devoted to a handcrafted instrument and the precision of modern manufacturing, the HD 800 S lets you explore your entire music collection from the inside out. The HD 800 S – redefining the critical listening experience. Our goal was to provide acoustics so immersive that your awareness dissolves into the creator’s perspective. On their own, each component of the HD 800 S is world-class. The signature sound is possible not because of any one of them, but through the synergy of all of them. Let’s explore. Reference class open-back audiophile headphones It has a ring to It The heart of the HD 800 S and its striking sound is the 56mm Ring Radiator transducer. It leverages the key benefit of a large diaphragm transducer—air displacement—without losing the rigidity that favorably impacts rest and response times. Solid as a rock The headphones’ vibration damping chassis and inert headband insert provide complete stability—what you put into the HD 800 S is precisely what you will get out of it. Each transducer is manufactured and measured to the tightest tolerance to ensure the most dependable performance. All the World’s a stage A mesmerizing soundstage that transports you into the recording environment. This is the result of several key features. The drivers are mounted at a precise angle, guiding the sound directly to the listener’s ears at their natural inflection point. Instead of hearing a sound that forms between your ears, you experience a vivid wash of frequencies and sensory-stimulating transients. When finally combined, the vibration damping chassis, perfectly matched transducer systems and wide-open construction work in concert to provide the most striking soundstage yet. HD 800 S smash the ceiling for critical listening Advanced sound reproduction system Achieving acoustics that are true to the source also requires management of compounding frequency clusters that produce undesirable masking effects. We integrated a patented frequency absorber to reduce resonances that hide extraordinary musical details in plain sight. An ergonomic treat Every contact point utilizes ultra-soft microfiber padding, while purpose-built composites reduce weight and unwanted pressure. Each earcup provides dual-axis articulation—the HD 800 S will instantly and effortlessly conform to your unique structure. The result is a remarkable listening session. Our standard for streamers. An open-back masterpiece for advanced streamers (and gamers) who are looking for the best-in-class soundstage and the most immersive gaming experience headphones can provide. Enjoy unmatched detail, natural sound, and supreme comfort with these hand-assembled top-of-the-line audiophile headphones. Review: Amazing sound quality - 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. Review: doesn't seem new - 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. ## Features - Open back, around ear, reference class dynamic headphone - 56mm ring radiator transducers are the largest drivers ever used in dynamic headphones - Innovative absorber technology reduces unwanted frequency response peaks allowing all the music nuances to become audible ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00PXLX2TC | | Additional Features | dj-style | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Antenna Location | Calling | | Audio Driver Size | 56 Millimeters | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Best Sellers Rank | #30,703 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #562 in Over-Ear Headphones | | Brand | Sennheiser Consumer Audio | | Built-In Media | Cable | | Cable Features | Detachable | | Carrying Case Material | Hard or semi-rigid case | | Color | Black | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Devices with 6.35 mm audio output | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Control Method | Push Button | | Control Type | Call Control | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 514 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 2 Years | | Ear placement | Over Ear | | Earpiece Shape | Over-Ear | | Form factor | Over Ear | | Frequency Range | 51000 | | Frequency Response | 51000 Hz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00615104273009 | | Headphone Folding Features | Over Ear | | Headphone Jack | 6.35 mm Jack | | Headphones Ear Placement | Over Ear | | Impedance | 300 Ohms | | Is Autographed | No | | Item Type Name | Sennheiser HD 800 S Reference Headphone System;Sennheiser HD 800 S Reference Headphone System | | Item Weight | 330 Grams | | Manufacturer | Sennheiser | | Model Name | HD 800 S | | Model Number | HD 800 S | | Noise Control | None | | Noise control | None | | Number of Items | 1 | | Sensitivity | 103 dB | | Series Number | 800 | | Specific Uses For Product | music | | Style Name | Headphone | | Subject Character | no character | | Theme | Video Game | | UPC | 615104273009 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Wireless Technology | No | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sennheiser Consumer Audio - **Colour:** Black - **Ear placement:** Over Ear - **Form factor:** Over Ear - **Impedance:** 300 Ohms ## Images ![Hd 800 S Over-The-Ear Audiophile Reference Headphones - Ring Radiator Drivers With Open-Back Earcups, Includes Balanced Cable, 2-Year Warranty (Black), Wired - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51xRloBTYgS.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: If I pair these with a 19.95 Sony Walkman tape player from ebay will that be ironic enough to get me in with the hipsters?** A: Possibly, but a pair of Square-shaped glasses and a cup of overpriced, burnt coffee would certainly help. Also, you'll need to change your catchphrase to "Bazinga". **Q: Can iphone 6 plus be able to power this headphones without a problem? Without needing of an Amplifier, I would like it to use in spotify?** A: Actually, you gentlemen who think that the SQ of the iPhone 6/6+ is sub-par or ''stinks'' might want to take a look at the measurements and tests done by Ken Rockwell where it comes extremely close to the performance of the Benchmark DAC1-HDR. And I can confirm via my own Blind A/B/X listening tests using Neumann KH 120A Studio Monitors, Beyerdynamic T1 headphones, and Noble Audio Kaiser K10 CIEMs that the SQ of the iPhone 6/6+ is on par or better than several so-called "high-end" DAPs. I do agree that you will want an outboard Headphone Amplifier to eek the best performance from the HD800S/to power them appropriately, but the SQ from the iPhone 6/6+ itself is stellar, especially considering it is not designed as a stand-alone /dedicated DAP.

It would be easier if you call 920-494-8999 10a-7 central time M-Sa or contact us at hifiheaven.net Thanks Jim **Q: Best affordable dac& combo or seperate (under $600)?** A: For anyone else looking at these heres a combo you wont regret Schitt stack - modi 3+, Loki mini +, + Vali 2 The reason for the loki is that these headphones present the higher freq more than the bassier notes you can use the Loki to adjust the lower hertz to fillin the gap. This is coming from an old timer who used to install competition stereos Equalizers are a must in any serious audio setup to correct the changes in the signal by the equipment its passing through. Also dont spend $$$ on crazy headphone wires unless your going for true dual 3 pin xlr balanced not worth the extra money for the 4 pin single xlr stuff. If you do ...dont spend more than 4 8-10 dollars a foot more than that and your getting robbed electrons dont care weather its copper or silver as long as its high purity and the sodlering is good on connectors. The OEM wire should be enough just give it care dont bend pinch it ect. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing sound quality *by B***A on 17 June 2025* 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. ### ⭐ doesn't seem new *by M***U on 10 July 2025* 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ King of Soundstage *by I***. on 11 August 2025* 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sennheiser HD 800 S Over-the-Ear Audiophile Reference Headphones - Ring Radiator Drivers With Open-Back Earcups, Includes Balanced Cable, 2-Year Warranty (Black) - Sennheiser Genuine Adapter Cable Female 1/4" 6.3mm to Male 1/8" 3.5mm Plug for Headphones - ANDTOBO 1/4'' to 3.5 mm Stereo Pure Copper Headphone Adapter, 3.5 mm(1/8'') Plug Male to 6.35 mm (1/4'') Jack Female Stereo Adapter for Headphone, Amp Adapter, Black 2-Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/275003903-hd-800-s-over-the-ear-audiophile-reference-headphones-ring](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/275003903-hd-800-s-over-the-ear-audiophile-reference-headphones-ring) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
