Reviewed in India on 8 February 2022
Let's start with my audiophile journey.
As a musician, i was always looking for enjoy the music and sounds as well as hearing the truth of recordings.
I own following headphones.
Sony XM4, HD 8 DJ, HD 660S and now HD 800S.
Trust me, Sony XM4 is good headphone for normal consumer who looking for all rounder music.
HD 8 DJ - I am still finding low end (bass) like that, so deep but this headphone is meant for Dj and focused music listening. Consider for EDM mostly.
HD 660S - Favourite - if you don't not afford HD 800S please go with HD 660S. It almost everything which HD 800S offers. For Indian music and specially vocals. You will hear the structure of instruments and vocals. This is top class headphone Even HD 800S could not match with Vocal structuring of sound. Just make sure to EQ it properly for lower frequency.
HD 800 S - It feels like you listening music in Theatre or speaker. Very detailed and i can hear something that was missing in older headphones. It's Soundstage allows you to hear individual samples that are used in music. There is almost 80% similarity to HD 660S, but space between instruments and presentation music is really top on HD 800S. This headphone needs an AMP DAC. A decent DAC may cost half as much as this headphone.
Always remember, it is just a headphone & nothing else, it's your mind which represents music to you. I even enjoy music in Rs. 1k to 5k cost headphones too. Not everyone need Ferrari to travel and still we all enjoy traveling with our vehicle.
If you really afford it then buy it, you will enjoy.
Thank you Sennheiser for your 79 years of research and development in audio technology. this is the result which we are getting and enjoying our favourite music.
