The Whole World Becomes a Stage

The HD 800 S offers a hypnotic sound spectrum, seemingly transporting the listener into the recording studio.

This is no accident: it's the result of numerous key features. The drivers are mounted at a precise angle, directing the sound to the listener's ears directly at their natural pivot point. Instead of hearing sound that forms between the ears, one perceives a vivid flow of frequencies and transients that stimulate the senses. Ultimately, the anti-vibration frame, perfectly matched transducer systems, and open structure collaborate to provide the most impressive sound spectrum ever. This setup can match or even surpass speaker systems that cost exponentially more, especially considering room acoustics. With the HD 800 S, you have a personal concert hall at your fingertips, without waking the neighbors.

An Advanced Sound Reproduction System

Thanks to a high-performance transducer with incredible extension.

Achieving source-accurate acoustics also requires managing complex frequency clusters that produce unwanted masking effects. We have therefore integrated a patented frequency absorber, based on a principle similar to that of our revolutionary IE 800S, to reduce resonances that obscure exceptional musical details. Additionally, the transducer system is mounted in an anti-vibration frame that uses aerospace-grade materials. With the help of the aforementioned headband, problematic energy peaks in the lower frequencies are controlled to enhance the hidden purity of your hi-fi system.

Ergonomic Pleasure

The HD 800 S also offers long-term comfort, ensuring a listening experience that is as comfortable as it is engaging.

Every contact point features incredibly soft microfiber padding, while specially designed materials reduce weight and unwanted pressure. Each ear cup has a double-axis articulation: as soon as you put them on, the HD 800 S headphones instantly and effortlessly adapt to your specific structure. The result is an extraordinary listening session that does not hinder your passion for high-fidelity sound reproduction.
