If you are an audiphile with lots of cash to spare, if you’re looking for a sound experience that is quite out of this world, Sennheiser’s HD 800 headphone is worth a listen. The headphones have frequency response of 5 to 51000 HZ, excellent detail and soundstaging. Music comes through as how it really is and not some equalised contortion. The key component is a 56mm sound transducer, the largest that can be found in dynamic headphones. The headphone cup design envelops the ear and is very comfortable, without the heat and discomfort often associated with prolonged use of such over-the-ear headphones. Due to the size of the sound transducer and the resultant high resistance, the HD 800 has to be used with a powered headamp, which means it is not portable.

This high end headphones come with a high price, rock it at US$1,400.
