IsolationSound Quality
We can’t say anything bad about them on this score. Like, literally, not a single thing. No, seriously.
Frequency Response (7.45)
The Sennheiser HD 800s had a near-perfect frequency response from a testing standpoint. They stay within the limits and don’t exhibit any erratic behavior. They have a good emphasis on the bass without overdoing it, drop off a bit as they approach the high end, and give a slight boost around 7kHz. There’s really nothing to complain about here.

Distortion (11.20)
Nothing, at least in the way of distortion. In our experience, Sennheiser headphones all tend to have very, very little distortion. The MM 50 iPs didn’t have a problem with this test and neither did the HD 800s.

Tracking (8.77)
Another great score from the HD 800s. There was hardly any fluctuation in their tracking result. It appears the $1400 headphones aren’t grossly unbalanced.

$67.503Sennheiser CX 680i
The Sennheiser CX 680i in-ear headphones are a decent set of lower-mid-range headphones with a remote & mic. They don't have the best quality and they're not quite as rugged as we would've expected from a set of in-ears aimed at the gym crew, but they're a great value at $100. Read full 13-part review
