Sennheiser HD 800 S
The evolution of the legendary classic
With the development of the open dynamic HD 800 S headphones, our
engineers have achieved the impossible: they have further enhanced the
exceptionally natural sound reproduction of the standard setting HD 800
reference headphones.
The striking industrial design combines form and function seamlessly, the
layered metal and plastic headband construction attenuating vibrations
to the ear cups while the handmade microfiber ear pads offer exceptional
comfort for even long periods of listening enjoyment.
The HD 800 S is precision-built in Tullamore, Ireland, from only the finest
materials and components. The transducers are encased by stainless
steel, while the headband and headphone mounting utilizes the most
advanced materials developed in the aerospace industry for high strength
with minimal weight.
The headphones offer state-of-the-art connectivity and come with highest
quality silver-plated and oxygen-free cables – with gold-plated, balanced
4.4 mm and with unbalanced 6.35 mm jack plugs. Thus, the HD 800 S
is optimally equipped for use with headphone amplifiers, such as the
Sennheiser HDV 820, to ensure even better sound quality.
Absorber technology
The enhanced sound reproduction of the HD 800 S is achieved through
the addition of the innovative absorber technology that was pioneered
in the Sennheiser IE 800 ear-canal headphones – a breakthrough that
preserved the audibility of very high frequency sounds by eliminating
a phenomenon known as the "masking effect", where the human ear
struggles to hear frequencies of sound when lower frequencies of a higher
volume occur at the same time.
By absorbing the energy of the resonance, the patented absorber techno-
logy prevents any unwanted peaks and allows all frequency components
– even the finest nuances – in the music material to become audible.
The patented absorber technology en-
sures that even high-frequency sounds
are audible at all times.
