The HD 660 S headphones are not the only one innovation that was announced by Sennheiser. The German brand also introduced the new in-ear headphones called Sennheiser IE 800 S, an updated version of previous IE 800.
The earphones position in the high-end segment, weigh 8 grams each (without cable) and use a refined version of Extra Wide Band (XWB) 7mm driver. The improvements made to extend to both high frequencies and bass. Sennheiser speaks of a more detailed sound and a more realistic representation.
The IE 800 S features dual-chamber absorber (D2CA) system. This technology prevents you from louder, low-frequency sounds to mask the details at high frequencies. D2CA prevents undesired peaks and makes all the intelligible details. In the box, we have three pairs of memory foam ear tips (S, M, L), you can choose between silicone and “Comply” (made with material that keeps the shape of the ear).
The Sennheiser IE 800 S bears a 16ohm impedance, a frequency response of 5 Hz to 46 kHz, a sensitivity of 125 dB and a total harmonic distortion below 0.06% (1 kHz, 94 dB). It comes with interchangeable cables: one with a 3.5 mm jack while other two are balanced (2.5 mm and 4.4 mm Pentaconn). A microfiber cloth and a leather carrying case are also supplied in the box. The price is set at EUR 999 – approximately $1178 and is available this month.
