The HD 800 is a reference-class open-back and still a benchmark for spacious staging, detail, and imaging. At €950, this listing is ambitious versus your used-market anchor: it sits well above the €844 75th percentile and far over the €572 median, so I’d treat it as top-end pricing unless the package is unusually strong.
That said, it remains a genuinely desirable buy if the condition is truly excellent and it includes the right extras, since these are premium headphones with enduring collector and enthusiast appeal. The upside is the combination of comfort, resolving power, and a very distinctive soundstage; the key buyer check is whether the headband, pads, cable, and drivers are all clean and original, because at this price you want a near-flawless example rather than a cosmetic project.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
