Finally! The Official Sennheiser / Drop HD8XX!

WHAT IS ON THE MIDDLE OF YOUR SHIRT!?!?! K, Thnx bye

Nice Triumph Daytona... We share more hobbies than I tought...

Josh must’ve have ascended to Headphone Heaven with that Halo on his head lol 😂

If this is their so called 'Flagship' then yeah...no thanks

Saint Joshua of Valour

Halo on fire

the best headphones which you could missused for gaming and its worth :D

Maybe a crazy request but would you review the bang and olufsen h95?? 😅🙏

I love the HD8xx so much so that I'm getting rid of my LCD-X. I think people who haven't bothered to actually listen to them and are only looking at graphs are missing out.

It also helps that they were on sale for $949.

Anyone want to buy the carbon fiber headband with a custom leather headstrap for $125?

What’s the intro song?!

That murdered triumph lookin sexy af

The video length is 1337. This can’t be a coincidence.

All the links in the description are broken

hey Joshua, great review! btw, you might want to check and update the links in the description! cheers!

What bike you riding?, because i saw it on your thumbnail 😁

Nice Daytona Josh!😉

thoughts on the drop hifiman he-x4?

Would you test the shure aonic 50?

Crinacle said these Headphones stink! Watch Crinacles video on these.

Is the original HD 800 worth picking up (used) if you would only be using them with a cheap 75 dollar amp and cellphone?

what's the name of intro music please?

Another great video. You almost single handedly keep me buying headphones, lol. Currently gaming with Sundaras and LOVE them but had my eye on these. Tough to justify spending so much but then again these days we're spending $1500+ on graphic cards so these are seeming like a legit option especially for something I use so much. Thank you.

Still rockin the Kenwood KH71, which are the same size as the HD800/8XX, and is also open backed; but is 50 years old and i spent $162 on it. I have been lovin it for a long time now.

Great review, thank you. Gonna pick ‘em up and enjoy them. I basically EQ every headphone I own so that’s not an issue for me.

Josh, never, never listen to marketing. 😀

I prefer my unicorn LCD 2.2 PF

Just picked these up since there is a wild discount code. EQing will be a learning experience but I would rather do this than spend that much more for the 800s

What do you think about these for the now sale price of $699?!

I half disagree, I think the HD800S is a better technical headphone (Coming from someone that has both HD800S and HD8XX) but I think what drop tried to do is not to have 1000 of returns. The HD800S is very very fatiguing to listen to, older people tend to be fine with longer listening session but younger people will say that this is almost unbearable for more than 1-2h. Even tho the characteristic of the HD8XX isn't as magical as the HD800s which really is special, the HD8XX is a more usable headphone for a larger crowd of people. The thing is if you do own a HD800S and tried to EQ it you'll find out really quickly that EQ the HD800S actually remove some of the magic... it really sound the most special out of the box.

Hey Josh I got questions, I'm looking for a headset for a Xbox series x and what I've seen its a limited I was looking into 800hd at one point in time but Xbox dont support dac other than astros mix amp, the questions is can you do a video of endgame headset thats compatible with xbox series x, thanks in advance

I want a good pair of gaming headphones that are good for music, but I don't want a microphone on them like the 38x and everyone always says 38x or 800s are best for gaming, is there seriously not another really good pair in the over $1000 price gap?

Which would you recommend for gaming HD8XX or Focal Clear MG?

I kinda hope they do a revision of theese but i guess the tuning is set in stone now.

Nice Halo, lol

Too bad it's complete garbage.

At this point I'm divided about massdrop

Like the 6XX the 8XX makes no sense to me. You get a product that is inferior to the product it is derived from by design. It is made worse on purpose. Who wants something like that? I’ll spend the extra 500€ to get the read deal any day. At 1000€+ we are at the point where the price is part of the enjoyment anyways, so spending almost 1000€ and knowing all the time that I did not get a proper product for that kind of money will kill the whole experience.

Enjoying the new hd660s2 for gaming and music. Sound imaging and sound depth is amazing

as much as the sound stage appeals to the gamer in me i play games with a LOT of voice acting..... the negatives towards vocals, hurts my desire for this headphone.

Daytona

What was the Price of the 8XX?

So true! After reading all the rant about the bass i was surprise how much there is.

i grabbed mine new old stock for $650 - i literally broke my pure "bit perfect" mindset for these...

NIce Daytona

Dude loved the video, but what is the microphone you used to record this? sooo crisp (im watching on a HD800 which helps)

That opening song had NO BUSINESS going so hard...
