Sennheiser - HD800 Headphones - Reference

 "...I stick the Sennheiser HD800 at the top of the list. It may very well be the best headphone I've ever heard...if you're the type of audiophile who's not content with less than the best, and you have the liquidity, you need to hear the HD800s and, probably, own them." - Wes Phillips, Stereophile, July 2009

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. Do take note that presently, no other manufacturer has been able to come up as close as the HD 800 in replicating the basic acoustic conditions of natural hearing.

Matching these headphones' reference-grade audio performance is their striking and visually effective industrial design. 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 microfiber fabric; 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.

Truly, the HD 800 are a glorious success and have become a pioneer in headphone development.
