Treble unpleasantly cutting at higher volumes

Abstract: Linette takes a listen to Final Audio Heaven VI – CC, Hifiman RE-600 and Sennheiser IE 800 In Ear Monitors.So, what do you give a girl that has ears which Legolas the Elf would be jealous of, is really finicky about Head Fi comfort and really doesn't feel...

Truly sensational sound, Great build, Very easy to live with
Expensive, No inline controls, Sound better at higher levels
Before we go any further, it is important to put a sense of perspective in place regarding the price of the IE800. The Sennheiser is twice the price of the puritanically equipped but still sublime Grado GR8. You could buy a 16gb iPad Air with the differen...
Open, detailed, dynamic and utterly faithful sound, Unfazed by any genre of music, Beautifully built
Eye-wateringly expensive, Need a similarly accomplished source (of which there are few around)
None of which alter the facts, though. The Sennheiser IE 800s are superbly made, brilliantly accomplished in-ear headphones. If you can justify the cost, and if your source player can justify it too, we think you'd be hard-pressed to find better. At any...

It's difficult not to admit the IE 800s are contenders for "best in-ear headphones I've yet heard", but it's equally tough not to admit they're so acutely engineered that they're priced too high, even for many of the world's most passionate music lovers...

The Sennheiser IE 800 in-ear headphones are astounding, yet have their imperfections too. Top-end won't sound so top at higher volumes, but then music shouldn't be listened to at eardrum-tearing levels. The clear bass and super-clean mix of frequen...
The Sennheiser IE 800 is the most expensive non-custom-molded in-canal earphone pair we've reviewed, and it earns its price with excellent audio performance....
Exceptional bass depth, power and quality, Excellent treble detail
Treble can be tiring with some material, Non-removable cable, No remote, Cable causes quite significant microphonic noise
The Sennheiser IE 800 are true high-end earphones that both show up Sennheiser's £300 pairs and show what dynamic drivers are capable of. They're not perfect, but they are seriously impressive. Next, read our best headphones round-up...

As the most expensive in-ears we've played with, the Sennhesier IE 800s manage to beat all comers and the closest rivals are pro audio Shure headphones with custom ear-moulds, the kind of headphones you see live musicians use during concerts. The IE 800s...
Abstract: It's been a few years since Sennheiser dropped its best attempt at an in-ear headphone, and now in 2018, we have an update. As the name implies, the IE 800 S is a tweaked version of that first-rate earphone that we adored.Source: Sennheiser IE 800 S Fla...
