We finally got in the Sennheiser HD 800s. So what's our verdict? They're amazing. Really. They're one of the best pairs of headphones we've reviewed.

The one sticking point, however, is their $1400 price tag. Check out our test results and graphs and whatnot; hopefully they'll help you decide if an investment in the HD 800s is an investment in your aural future.

The Sennheiser HD 650s are a set of high-end, open-backed, over-ear headphones. The HD 650s implement their open-backed design in an aesthetically interesting way, covering the backs of the ear cups with a grey grate which offers barely any physical barrier between your sound and the world around you. This will create a large, open soundstage, but means the headphones won't be good isolators. The headphones also feature a removeable cord. Since the cord is often the first thing to break, this feature should help extend the life of your headphones.

The HD 650s are currently available for about $500.

The Sennheiser CX 300-II headphones are an entry-level set of in-ears. They don't have much to differentiate them from other in-ears aesthetically, but they are a better than average value.

The CX 300-II did well on our sound quality tests. They have a good frequency response with strong bass, low distortion, and even tracking.

The CX 300-IIs will be available in the US soon for about $75.

The Sennheiser MX W1 headphones are a set of wireless in-ears. They are the first pair of wireless in-ears we've reviewed. Since they use wireless technology, don't expect the best audio quality: sound has to be compressed in order to stream from your transmitter to the ear piece smoothly. This results in some low-end distortion, but not as much as we had expected to see.
