Sennheiser HD 800

The HD 800 lives up to its promise with every detail: a completely new type of ring driver, delivering
the best ever simulation of spatial hearing by way of a curved sonic wave front. Superlatives in so many parts
combine to create an overwhelmingly rich and detailed sound experience. Designed, constructed
and assembled in Germany, the HD 800 are probably the world’s first headphones ever
to truly make you forget you are wearing any.
