HD 800 S

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

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

I have Sennheiser HD 800 S for professional purposes. I don’t think it can get better than that. But it’s very pricey. Edit: for personal use I have the Bose NC 700. Also really good quality. Renewed the earpads so good for a lot of more years!

What a coincidence. I actually heard about the NDH 30 yesterday and they seem really great for the price, like a true successor to the HD 600. But, if you want the best, I guess it has to be the HD 800 S then? I really like Sennheiser as a brand since my HD 600 are nearly 20 years old now and still

Can confirm open back is the way. Closed back headphones are the more common option, have better sound isolation, a bit more bass response and don’t leak sound.
