Sennheiser HD 800S Headphones
The hoopla surrounding the introduction of Sennheiser's original HD 800 headphone in 2009 was monumental because it was such a radical upgrade over the HD 650, the previous Sennheiser flagship. So, we're due for another flagship, but the HD 800 S is more like a reboot. What about a new flagship?
Pros:
- Rebooting a classic
- making it better
- Hand-crafted in Germany
- Smoother sound than the original HD 800
Cons:
- Not as transparent as the very best planar headphones

- Composed and refined
- Comfort and build
Cons:

Sit down and read this ... Slowly!
First, this is from a very experienced performer and LISTENER. A performer has to be able to listen to music and begin to experience it within before attempting to present a performance. Have in the past years, assembled a 11.2 very advanced listening center within an 11' by 11' room.

Solid Product
The HD 800 S is very comfortable and feel exactly the same as the old HD 800. The sound stage and imaging are amazing (like before) and Sennheiser (finally) fixed that high peak and added a little more power to the bass. However, I feel that they are still as picky in terms of amp-pairings.

Worth every penny
After much research and many demo's I've settled on the HD800S. The headphone is refined and as well made as you would expect from Sennheiser.
