Sennheiser HD 800 Headphones Review


We finally got in the Sennheiser HD 800s. They aren't the most expensive headphones we've reviewed, but they're certainly some of the most hyped. We first heard these back at CES, and we've been waiting to get in a review copy ever since. 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.
