Sennheiser reckons its HD 800s are the best headphones in the world ever, at CES 2009

Probably the most expensive things you'll ever wear on your head

Sennheiser has announced the new HD 800 headphones at this year's CES expo. At a staggering £999.99 per pair, you can probably tell that Sennheiser thinks that the sound quality is pretty special.

This benchmark setting set of cans features a specially built 56mm high definition RING driver for absurd levels of clarity and detail. They also offer a frequency response of 6 to 51,000 Hz, a figure that's likely to have other audiophiles shedding bright green tears of envy.

They're open back and designed with a futuristic black and silver finish. The cups are designed for both comfort and direct the sound waves to your ear in manner more similar to a loudspeaker than an ordinary pair of 'phones. It is rumoured that listening to these is makes even the Spice Girls sound like you are being serenaded by an angelic host sent from heaven itself – we'll be going to check the veracity at the show today.

Sound quality

I have used them for around 400 hrs and just after 100 hr bass which was little muffled, got deep and articulate.


Well, These have laid back character with rolled off high, which makes them very pleasurable to listen music with them, as highs are not very harsh on ears.



Bass: I know many people are only concerned about bass and all and I must say they are not very bassy like my DT770 pro 80ohm ,but IMO HD650 are way ahead of DT770 pro 80ohm .Its mid bass is very deep and very well defined ,whereas bass of DT770 Pro 80ohm is very boomy and not defined at all .

Treble :Its treble is really good ,but its highs are little rolled of ,thats the reason they are very smooth sounding headphones and sometime people refer that these have laid back character .



Headphones tried with different Genre's like Classical (western eg Schubert ,Beethoven ) ,Indian Classical (eg Ravi shankar ),Rock linken Park ,Led zeppelin etc,POP,Trance (Ministry of Sounds ,Tiesto etc),Instrumental etc


Burn in
