Sennheiser HD 800 Kopfhörer in einwandfreiem Zustand
New, the HD 800 sat around the €1,300 mark, so €500 used is a strong deal rather than merely fair. It is below the €436 25th-percentile threshold? No—the price is above that, but still well under the €664 median and comfortably below the €878 75th percentile, making it good value for excellent condition.
The HD 800 remains a superb choice for home listening: exceptionally spacious, precise, detailed, and unusually comfortable over long sessions. Its open-back design and expansive presentation make it especially convincing with classical, acoustic, and well-recorded material, while the detachable cable helps with long-term ownership. At €500, a clean example is a worthwhile buy; just confirm the pads, cable, headband, and connectors are original and in genuinely excellent shape.

Founded in June 1945 by Dr. Fritz Sennheiser in a farmhouse near Hanover, Germany, Sennheiser began as Laboratorium Wennebostel, producing voltmeters and early microphones amid post-World War II reconstruction. Seven engineers from the University of Hannover joined the founder, quickly pivoting to broadcast microphones like the DM 2 in 1946 and the groundbreaking MD 82 shotgun mic in 1956. Renamed Sennheiser electronic in 1958, the family-owned company passed to second- and third-generation leadership, maintaining its innovative spirit over eight decades.
Sennheiser excels in professional and consumer audio, renowned for microphones, wireless systems, and headphones that set industry standards. Pioneers of the first open-back headphones (HD 414 in 1968) and enduring studio icons like the MD 421 and MD 441, they also produce high-end headphones, earbuds, soundbars, and conferencing solutions. While strong in pro audio like mixers and geophysical gear, their consumer focus centers on headphones and wireless tech rather than amplifiers, speakers, turntables, DACs, or cables.
Sennheiser commands a premium position in the hi-fi market, blending mid-tier accessibility with high-end excellence for discerning buyers and professionals. Trusted for reliability and sonic precision, it appeals to audiophiles seeking reference-grade headphones without boutique obscurity, backed by a heritage of technological firsts that sustains its global leadership.
