From the finest German audio manufacturer comes "The World's Best Headphones", Sennheiser HD800. Perhaps praise a tad too high but the expressive clarity, tonal coherence, lightning dynamics and impossibly deep soundstage imaging prevent us from saying anything but the HD800 wear a bejeweled crown. In addition to exquisite sound, the stringent quality of engineering plus the striking materials and workmanship will have you longing for every chance to enjoy these amazing headphones as they uncover new details previously unheard in all your favorite music.Review this product

Recommend Product: No
Pros: Nice detail
Cons: Harsh, hard treble
I heard these headphones at the HeadRoom table at the T.H.E. Show 2012 (a superb display - well done!). I compared the HD800 to the LCD-2, LCD-3 and HE-500. Athough the finish, ergonomics and sound detail was superb, I found the treble to be far too hot and ultimately did not select them. These will require a tone control for extended listening - if the treble is reduced, or a warm tube amp is used, they will likely sound quite nice. To each their own, but as a result they were third on my list.
