Sennheiser HD 800 S Open-Back Reference Headphones - Matte Black | 506911

The HD 800 S is Sennheiser's reference open-back headphone, created for listeners who want the most natural, transparent and detailed reproduction of a recording. Building on the legendary HD 800, it refines an already exceptional design to deliver a sound experience that feels closer to a live performance than ever before.

Ring radiator transducer

At the heart of the HD 800 S sits a 56 mm ring radiator transducer, one of the largest dynamic drivers used in a headphone. Its ring-shaped diaphragm is driven over a wide area, which reduces distortion and produces an extraordinarily detailed, effortless sound with precise imaging and a wide, open soundstage.

Absorber technology

The innovative absorber technology eliminates the energy that would otherwise be reflected inside the ear cup. The result is a smoother, more natural treble response with reduced masking, allowing micro-details in every recording to come through cleanly.

Reference comfort

A lightweight frame, handcrafted microfibre ear pads and a carefully balanced headband make long listening sessions comfortable. The open, circumaural design keeps your ears cool while the detachable cable supports balanced operation for the cleanest possible signal path.

Whether you are mastering a recording, exploring an audiophile collection or simply enjoying your favourite album, the HD 800 S reveals the full depth of the music with an honesty few headphones can match.
