HD800S vs HDB630: Can wireless hang?

I have not heard the HDB 630, but I will say that price, or even the fact that it's wireless are not significant limitations. There are things cheaper Sennheiser models that do some things better than the HD 800 S, in my opinion. A good example is the midrange and treble of the HD 600 and HD 650, fo

The Sennheiser Experience: No repairs, no parts, no help. Is this the new standard?

Hmmm, you might be correct. It could be overblown. I think there could be a few different things to consider. In recent years, more people are sharing their audio related experiences online, and there are more forums online to show it. This could mean that we are just seeing a larger number of negat

She's looking even more gorgeous now!

Nice! The extra pop of colour gives off "Flame vinyls on a sports car" in a good way :) The stock cable of the HD 800 series is well built and it is thoughtful of Sennheiser to include multiple of them for how much they cost. But it can feel a little bit "unwieldy" for what is a relatively lightweig

What headset is better for gaming?

I own the HE1000se and all I do is game on it. I had the Sennheiser HD 490 Pro and the HD 800 S as well. Those were great for gaming and especially the 800 S for competitive play. But the HE1000se, once I picked those up, I knew I’d never pick up my Sennheisers again. They are amazing! Basically the

HD 800s 📸

Forget everything you think you know about what makes a great headphone. The real magic in the Sennheiser HD 800 S isn't about booming bass or sparkling highs in isolation. It's about something far more fundamental, yet often overlooked: its uncanny ability to lay bare the overtones in music.

HD600, HD800S, or Alternative?

Sennheiser will probably be fine. Aside from that, you just missed the HD 600 on sale for $379. The HD 650 is still on sale for $399 I believe, but that is on Amazon. The HD 800 S will probably be more similar sounding to your Arya depending on how well it seals on your head, and how much treble you

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie?

Sennheiser HD 800 S or Audeze. You don’t just hear music. I hear space, texture, breath. Songs I’ve known for years suddenly have layers I never noticed. It is unsettling.

My take on the HDB 630 as an entry/mid-level listener.

Ive had my 630’s for a few weeks now. I believe the only points I agree with would be the material being left oily after use (I do a quick wipe off with my shirt and haven’t had any issues) and the gesture controls being awful, which I just disabled altogether. As far as comfort, I don’t find them “

Yo tengo los siguientes Sony Xm4 Sennheiser HD 600 S Arya Stealth Magnet Si quieres usar cancelacion de sonido, movilidad y buen audio me compraria, los Sony XM6. Por sonido, me compraria los Sennheiser HD 800 s, pero son muy caros, los 600 s son mucho mas baratos y tambien son excelentes.
