The latest version of the Sennheiser HD 800S is now available! The new HD 800 S features an improved yoke and ships with balanced 4.4mm cable instead of the old 4-pin XLR cable. The HD 800 S has been improved at no additional cost to you!

An update on the well-regarded HD 800, the Sennheiser HD 800 S Stereo Headphones comprises a pair of open-back headphones designed for use in studio situations, particularly when referencing between monitors and cans. Its 56mm transducer is housed in stainless steel, while its headband and mounting utilize industrial, aerospace-grade materials to emphasize durability at a relatively light weight of 11.6 oz. Sennheiser’s proprietary sound absorber technology preserves the integrity of the highest of high ends by eliminating the “masking effect,” a phenomenon in which the ear struggles to hear particularly bright signals when lower-frequency material occurs simultaneously at a louder volume. In reducing this masking effect, every nuance of the frequency spectrum is represented and made audible.

The design of its earcups directs sound to the ear at a subtle angle, thereby aiding in a realistic—and realistically stereo—monitoring experience. Additionally, there are two different possibilities for audio connection: a stereo 1/4" connector, and an 4.4mm balanced cable for connecting to balanced outputs, such as a headphone amplifier.

Customer Reviews (4.4 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Steven ★★★★★

Switched from the old 4-pin XLR setup, and the new 4.4mm balanced cable makes connecting to my DAP much simpler without an adapter. The soundstage is incredibly wide and detailed, making classical recordings feel like a live hall. Definitely a step up for critical listening.

Eva ★★★★★

The balanced 4.4mm cable makes a real difference—everything sounds cleaner and more open than I expected straight out of the box. The improved yoke also feels solid when adjusting the earcups, so no creaking or wobble.

Ella ★★★★★

The balanced 4.4mm cable in the box is a nice upgrade, way more convenient than digging out an adapter. Soundstage feels massive on these, and the improved yoke makes them noticeably more comfortable for long listening sessions. Worth every penny.
