-Sennheiser Orpheus HD 800 S Headphones

These new Sennheiser HD 800 S Headphones are a refinement on the famous HD800 Headphones a firm favourite with audiophiles and now Sennheiser has built on the experiences gained and launched the new HD 800 S Headphones. A modern classic, Sennheiser' s reference class HD 800 headphones deliver sound that is as natural as possible and true in every detail. Improving on a seemingly perfect formula is not a task undertaken lightly, but Sennheiser' s engineers have succeeded in enhancing still further the sound reproduction in the open circumaural HD 800 S.

The Sennheiser HD 800 S Headphones are precision-built in Germany from only the finest materials and components, with the transducers encased by stainless steel, while the headband and headphone mounting utilises the most advanced materials developed in the aerospace industry for high strength and also with minimal weight.

A real favourite among music lovers and audiophiles, brilliant trebles, precise bass reproduction and a particularly clear sound image combined with a frequency response from 4 to 51,000 Hz - these are the outstanding qualities of the multi-award-winning HD 800. With the HD 800 S, sound reproduction has been optimized even beyond the high benchmark set by the HD 800. This is made possible through the innovative absorber technology that was first introduced in the IE 800. This patented technology ensures that the so-called "masking effect" is neutralized and creates reproduction of complex music as though you were in the middle of the orchestra. This innovation was a key element in making the IE 800 the world's best sounding in ear headphone, and in the HD 800 S it helps to bring even greater purity and precision.

Such enhancements build on the formidable achievements of the classic, with the 56mm sound transducer - the largest ever used in dynamic headphones. The unique ear cup design directs sound waves to the ear at a slight angle to create an impressively natural and spatial listening experience.
