Can you hear me now?

At SA2F it's all about having the best of everything. So you know when we saw these hot new headphones we had to put our readers on. If you ride the train or bus, or even if you are frequent flyer (like myself) you are equipped with your IPod/MP3 player and a dope pair of headphones. It's all about having that concert HD sound right? If you answered yes then these are the headphones for you. Introducing the Sennheiser HD800. These headphones break new technological ground in several ways. Consider their 2.2-inch transducer—the largest among all dynamic headphones—which enables a staunch low-end response without sacrificing the high frequencies, or their enormous frequency response: 6 to 51,000 Hz. In the process of developing the HD800, Sennheiser engineers actually patented several of their creations, among them an innovative ring-shaped driver with minimal surface area. 


This shape reduces undesired resonances that can result in high-register distortion. The acousticians also devised an unusual, angled ear cup that transmits sound into the ear canal as naturally as possible. These innovations, and others, deliver in a big way. The HD800 produces sound so crisp that recording imperfections become readily audible: the soft release of a flautist’s breath, the scratch of a bow along a violin string. Background noise never sounded so good. To find out more about the Sennheiser 800 click here
