Simply astonishing sound quality
Extremely well made
Incredibly detailed

Smoother and more ‘musical' than the original HD800

The editors didn't like
Lack punch and enthusiasm
Disappointing dynamics
Lots of cable noise
Less 'micro detail' than HD 800
You'll need a good source and amplification to hear what they can really do
Expensive
Needs to be paired with the right amp
Lacks that mid-bass punch
Biblical noise leakage
Won't flatter poor material
Could do with fractionally more lateral movement for the Earpads
Easy to drive with almost any amplifier
But correct partnering will unlock their full capabilites.
Abstract: Few headphones have excited us as much as the HD 800 S. Since Sennheiser announced the follow-up to the top-of-the-line HD 800, we've been waiting on our tenterhooks with bated breath. But now we've actually got one sitting on our review desk, has all t...
The new Sennheiser HD 800 S adroitly adresses sonic issues long heard with the HD 800. It tames the piercing 6kHz treble peak, and it provide a nice warming of the bass, overall producing a much better behaved headphone and a more enjoyable listening expe...
Abstract: You may remember something I wrote here seven years ago: “These are the single greatest headphones in the history of the world.” I was writing about the new Sennheiser HD800 headphones, which caused enormous excitement in headphone circles. They pushed th...

Abstract: It has been seven years since we first tried out Sennheiser's HD 800 , a pair of top-notch headphones that defined what the best performing cans could offer serious music buffs.This year, the HD 800 S, as its name suggests, tries to top that by tweaking w...
Rendu audio relativement équilibré, très précis et défini, Spatialisation et immersion sonore au top, Distorsion très, très basse, Extrêmement confortable, Fabrication de qualité
Un zeste de présence dans l'extrême bas n'aurait pas été de refus, Une petite attirance vers la brillance qui pourra rebuter certains auditeurs
Le HD 800 S est une vraie réussite. Il hérite de toutes les qualités de son prédécesseur tout en étant un peu plus équilibré en termes de rendu sonore. Il est très difficile de lui trouver des défauts. Si vous avez les moyens de vous faire plaisir, cette...
Der HD 800 S ist sehr gut verarbeitet und bietet ausgezeichneten Tragekomfort - auch über viele Stunden hinweg. Darüber hinaus erweist er sich seine Zuspieler betreffend als flexibel. Klanglich zeichnet sich der HD 800 S mit hervorragendem Auflösungsverm...
Abstract: Gute Kopfhörer isolieren nicht nur von der Unwelt und sehen cool aus – sie klingen auch überragend und entführend in fremde musikalische Welten. Die zehn hier vorgestellten Exemplare bilden die Crème de la Crème und kosten vierstellige Beträge. Für Musik-...
