Sennheiser HD 800 S Dynamic Open-Back Stereo Headphones

Experience Unmatched Clarity with the Sennheiser HD 800 S Open-Back Reference Headphones

The Sennheiser HD 800 S is a premium pair of open-back studio headphones engineered for professional audio engineers and audiophiles who demand lifelike sound imaging and detail. Built as an upgrade to the legendary HD 800, this model delivers improved clarity, depth, and precision that make it ideal for critical listening, mixing, and mastering.

At the heart of the HD 800 S is a specially designed 56mm dynamic transducer, one of the largest used in headphones. Housed in high-grade stainless steel, it ensures pure, distortion-free playback across a wide frequency range from 4 Hz to 51 kHz. The open-ear design combined with angled earcups helps recreate the spatial feel of high-end monitor speakers, giving you a true-to-life stereo image when working in a studio or high-fidelity setup.

Built for Audio Purity and Comfort

Sennheiser’s exclusive absorber technology plays a crucial role in maintaining sonic integrity. By eliminating the masking effect, it allows high frequencies to remain clearly audible even when deeper lows are present. This makes the HD 800 S a top choice for revealing subtle elements in complex mixes.

Every detail in the construction reflects thoughtful engineering. The headband is made from aerospace-grade materials, offering strength without adding weight. The total weight of just 11.6 ounces makes them comfortable for long sessions. The microfiber ear pads are handcrafted for breathability and plush support, while the matte-black metal finish gives the headphones a sleek, modern look.

Professional-Grade Connectivity

To accommodate different listening setups, the HD 800 S includes both a 1/4-inch stereo cable and a 4.4mm balanced cable for use with balanced-output headphone amplifiers. The included low-capacitance OFC cables are impedance-matched for maximum signal accuracy and come fitted with high-precision connectors to ensure reliable performance every time.

Whether you're working in a mastering suite, mixing orchestral soundtracks, or simply enjoying music at its purest, the Sennheiser HD 800 S is designed to deliver a deeply immersive and accurate high-resolution audio experience.
