Redefine your critical listening experience with the Sennheiser HD 800 S. Using the expertise gained from almost 75 years of creating innovations in the audio industry, this world-class headphone is engineered from the finest audio components. The end result: acoustics so immersive that your awareness dissolves into the creator’s perspective.

Let’s Get This Concert Started
Be transported to the recording environment with the Sennheiser HD 800 S. The high-performance drivers are mounted at a precise angle to guide the sound directly to the listener’s ears at the natural inflection point. This replaces sound that forms between your ears with a mesmerising soundstage. When combined with the chassis and open design, you get an experience that rivals or even exceeds loudspeaker setups—especially when room acoustics are factored in.

Put a Ring on It!
A 56mm ring radiator driver uses the air displacement caused by a large diaphragm without losing the rigidity that favourably impacts rest and response times. The inner and outer edges of the rings are secured to the driver. The 40mm voice coil is wound in-house to ensure the right shape and consistency and vibrates the diaphragm, connected to the V-shaped groove found near the centre of the ring.

Reduces Resonance for Pure Sound
An integrated frequency absorber, similar to the one found in the cutting-edge IE 800 S reduces resonance that hides details in your music. This is because achieving acoustics that’s true to the source requires the management of compounding frequency clusters that produce undesirable masking effects. The drivers have an incredible extension and when paired with the high-quality build, controls problematic lower frequency energy peaks, giving you only pure sound.

Engineered to Perfection
The magic of this Sennheiser headphone can be felt via thorough its attention to detail. Each driver is engineered and rigorously tested to give you a spectacular performance right outside the box. Every unique HD 800 S includes the frequency response plot unique to those perfectly matched transducers. The vibration-damping chassis and inert headband insert provide complete stability while the steel mesh found in the baffle is matched and integrated with consistency due to its ultra-low variance in managing sound waves.

Your Concert Perk: Max Comfort
You can now experience a concert with maximum comfort. The HD 800 S uses ultra-soft microfiber padding at every contact point for incredible comfort. It is designed to be lightweight and reduce unwanted pressure. Each earcup offers dual-axis articulation i.e. it instantly conforms to your head as soon as you put it on. The result is an extraordinary listening session that never stands in the way of your passion for high-fidelity sound reproduction.

Connections that Matter
Your preferred headphone should be versatile — perfect to suit your ever-evolving set-up. The HD 800 S comes with 3 meters (9.8 feet) cables with a variety of terminations. These include the audiophile standard 6.3mm (¼-inch) and balanced 4.4mm connectors that can seamlessly connect to audio devices like headphone amplifiers, DACs, A/V receivers and more.

AUDIOCULAR D08 CS-PRO Audio CS46L41 Type-C to 3.5mm DAC dongle

Ankit Roy

Good DAC at this price point.

The amount you pay for this DAC is absolutely worth it. I'm using it with my PC, and I also have a Fiio KA13. It provides 32-bit 48000Hz audio output, and it's really good. I'm connecting it via a USB-C port and one extension cable (AGARO 3.5mm Aux Male to Female Extension Cable, Gold Plated). There’s no audio loss whatsoever.

The only minor issue is when you use it with a mobile device — the blue light can be a bit annoying. However, that's more of a personal preference. It also makes some noise with certain songs, but that's actually a known issue with the CS46L41 chip. There's no need to worry though; unless you've used a high-end DAC before, this will be more than enough for you.

Fosi Audio MC351 2.1-Channel Bluetooth Power Amplifier With DAC For Speakers & Subwoofers

Naveen Nagireddy

Best Dac Integrated Amplifier under 20k

After searching internet found this dac which has multiple input options and support 165*2 watts passive speakers and 350 watt passive subwoofer for future extension, tested with all input modes, bluetooth input feels a bit of low quality as it only supports sbc and aac codecs only, however if you want to use mobile via wired, alternative option is to use audiocular d08 cs-pro usb-c to 3.5 mm and 3.5 mm to rca input (cable creation brand). Optical input mode supports PCM (loss less stereo output) and Digital compress audio multichannel only) these are specific to Sony X-80J 65 inches

Prabhat Rana

A major difference in sound!

Thanks a lot Pritam Ji for suggesting me to use a balanced cable with my Moondrop Aria IEMs and thanks a lot for ordering Moondrop Aria filters for me. The Audio Store goes out of the way to serve Indian audiophile community.

The way my IEMs sound with a balanced cable and Shanling UA2 Plus DAC & Amp are unprecedented!

I am grateful Pritam Ji. 🙏🏻

EarAudio 4.4mm Male to 4.4mm Male Interconnect cable

Anujit

Affordable 4.4mm balanced interconnect

Just bought it and started using it with my IFI Zen Stack - feels awesome.

This was a natural pick for me, since I wanted to have a completely balanced setup for my HiFiMan Sundara.

Nothing much to add, if you want an optimal balanced setup without spending too much, then look no further.

Thanks AudioStore for being blazing fast with your delivery. I got it withing 48 hours of placing my order! Kudos.

Very affordable balanced cable

For my HiFiMan Sundara, this is a nice quality 4.4 mm balanced cable. I am buying this for the second time, since the first one got destroyed by my kids.

If you are looking for a good quality 4.4 mm balanced cable, look no further.

Perfectly Balanced IEM.

I have used lots of TWS even high end of Samsung and Oppo worth 10K. But IEM sound signature is great! This is my second IEM. I had KZ-ZEX. It has dual driver with electrostatic. Compare with that MoonDrop Chu 2 is better clear and smooth sound signature even with single driver. I am using with Audiocular DAC cost 750. Just go with MoonDrop Chu 2 if you are music lover. Thanks.
