Our goal was to provide acoustics so immersive that your awareness dissolves into the creator’s perspective. On their own, each component of the HD 800 S is world-class. The signature sound of the HD 800 S is possible not because of any one of them, but through the synergy of all of them. Let’s explore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIt Has a Ring to It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the HD 800 S and its striking sound is the 56mm Ring Radiator transducer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-collapse-block\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt leverages the key benefit of a large diaphragm transducer—air displacement—without losing the rigidity that favorably impacts rest and response times. Instead of a single attachment on the outer circumference of the transducer, both outer and inner edges of the “ring” are secured to the drive unit. The voice coil excites the diaphragm, connected to the v-shaped groove found near the center of the ring. A feat in itself, the voice coil is 40mm and wound in-house to ensure the shape and consistency is held to the highest standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSolid as a Rock\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe headphones’ vibration damping chassis and inert headband insert provide complete stability—what you put into the HD 800 S is precisely what you will get out of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-collapse-block\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach transducer is manufactured, tested, and measured to the tightest tolerance to ensure the most dependable performance out of the box. Even the steel mesh found in the baffle is matched and integrated with consistency in mind, as it contributes to ultra-low variance in the management of travelling sound waves. Each HD 800 S includes the frequency response plot unique to those perfectly matched transducers, sparing no resource to help you retrieve the most critical details from every corner of your music collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAll the World’s a Stage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HD 800 S features a mesmerizing soundstage that seemingly transports the listener into the recording environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-collapse-block\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the result of several key features. The drivers are mounted at a precise angle, guiding the sound directly to the listener’s ears at their natural inflection point. Instead of hearing a sound that forms between your ears, you experience a vivid wash of frequencies and sensory-stimulating transients. When finally combined, the vibration damping chassis, perfectly matched transducer systems and wide-open construction work in concert to provide the most striking soundstage yet. This orientation rivals or exceeds loudspeaker setups costing exponentially more—especially when room acoustics are factored in. The HD 800 S offers you a personal concert hall on-demand—without waking the neighbours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdvanced sound reproduction system\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelivered by the high-performance transducer with incredible extension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-collapse-block\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAchieving acoustics that are true to the source also requires management of compounding frequency clusters that produce undesirable masking effects.

Further, the transducer system is mounted in a vibration damping chassis using aerospace-grade materials.
