Pricey
Needs a quality headphone amplifier to perform at its best
Excellent sounding and very resolving, Comfortable to wear - important for this grade of headphone, Detachable cable eases aftermarket cable mods, Is surprisingly forgiving on mediocre sources
Requires good amplification, Will not sound its best without a high quality source, Did we mention they're uber expensive
Reference-grade audio quality, sturdy yet lightweight industrial design, comfortable even for extended durations, flaunt value, guarantees you respect from the audiophile community
Not suitable for all genres of music, will laugh at the output of your MP3 player, absolutely no noise isolation and plenty of audio leakage, price
At a price of Rs. 79,990, these headphones have a serious price tag associated with them, but besides the price I cannot find any complaints, and the sound quality, construction, looks et al are top class. The market for this kind of product surely exi...

Top-notch engineering and build quality; highly accurate sound; super-comfy over-the-ear design; detachable headphone cable.
Extremely expensive; not the best match for an iPod; no included adapter for 3.5mm mini-jacks.

Diseño brillante, llamativo y resistente, Los materiales de construcción son de primer nivel, Cómodos, cómodos, cómodos, Tienen el mejor sonido disponible en unos audífonos o cualquier otro sistema de audio, Son los mejores audífonos del mundo. Punto
Su precio está arriba de lo que la mayoría podemos pagar, Requieren mucha potencia para aprovecharse, De ahora en adelante ya nada sonará igual
Es dificil pensar en unos audífonos mejores, pero ¿valen los USD$1.400 que pide Sennheiser? La respuesta depende de cada quien; un amigo me decía si yo me los compraría a lo que le respondí: si tuviera el dinero suficiente por supuesto que los compraría...
Lohnt sich für den neuen HD 800 ein Aufpreis von 1000 Franken gegenüber dem bewährten HD 650? Ich meine ja, denn er wurde in jeder Hinsicht subtil, aber nachhaltig verbessert. Mit der Folge, dass man mit ihm im Alltag deutlich mehr Musik hören wird. So...
