A worthy upgrade for DJ's and gamer's alike!

January 28, 2016

Verified Purchase

I've gone through many headphones in my 25 yrs of DJ'n. Sennheiser was a game changer for me 6+ years ago when I purchased a pair of Sennheiser HD25-1 II's. In fact, they are still performing flawlessly to this day and are my back-ups. I decided to give these HD 8's a try and I haven't used looked back. The sound isolation is wonderful! For example, at my current gig I have to use split-cue and mix in my headphones for the majority of the evening. These deliver the perfect mid/high/low I need to mix/monitor. I also duel-wield these as my PC gaming headphones (w/clip on mic).

(See below) I'm curious to put these up against a set of the new V-Moda Crossfades. I've seen the reviews via djbooth.net as they give the V-Moda's #1 and these #3 ratings. Sennheiser has 2/3 headphones in the top 3. I really don't think you can go wrong.

UPDATE 2/15/16
I recently got my hands on the V-Moda Crossfades w/blutooth for a comparison. The Crossfades sound great and the build is outstanding, but they lack the sound isolation and collapsible/adjust-ability of the hinges on the HD8's. Furthermore, I returned the Crossfades because I prefer the sound response, dual wiring options, and adjust-ability of the HD8's. The V-Moda's would be my #1 pick for anything other than DJ'n.

I am in love with listening to music again

**June 2016 UPDATE** - Still love and use these headphones every day. One thing I did not mention is that I have a Creative Sound Blaster ZxR in my workstation that I use with these cans. I am sure sound will still be great through a cell phone or similar, but paired with my soundcard...WOW, sound is so so pleasant, rich and expansive. Also, one of the plush earcups began to tear so I have reverted back to the leather. No biggie, as they are modular and can be replaced and they held up from thousands of times of taking the cans on and off my head. Still highly recommend these headphones.

**YEAR UPDATE** - After more than a year of use, I am happy to report that these headphones still function/sound and look the same as the first day I bought them...which was and is EXCELLENT! I will say that I have not used the folding function for quite a long time; these cans are either on or off my head. But for packing/storage, it is still a good feature. I did try out the plush cup pads and actually prefer them. Sennheiser has made me a customer for life from this product alone!

These headphones are my first upgrade since ~2001 coming from multiple pairs of Sony MDR-V700 DJ headphones. I love those headphones but they are super uncomfortable after a short period of time because of the clamping force on your ears. Also, the swivel hinges always break...I have had zip ties on my current pair for over 6 years.

I wear headphones ~8 hours a day, so this purchase was very important to me.

The HD8 is definitely an upgrade in build quality, comfort, and amazing sound quality. I can hear the premium I paid for these badboys. If you listen to dance music, you are in for a treat; so much clarity in tandem with a strong bass that does not fatigue your ears. As I write this, I am listening to some classical music @ 320kbs with a flat EQ and it sounds excellent (with a flat EQ).

Sound isolation is GREAT. Can't be disturbed easily and I do not disturb others around me...except when one earcup is folded behind your ear...then there is sound leakage that others will hear that are close by in a quiet room.

I really appreciate the included two types of cords and the ability to plug into either earcup. I have not tried the plush or whatever cup pads because I like the pleather ones.

The build quality is top-notch. I expect these to last 15+ years.

Some key things I wanted to point out that other reviews I read/watched didn't really mention:
- The design choice to fold the earcup behind your ear is awkward; It is going to take some getting used to...and I will have to force myself to try it.
- Doing a single click back on the fold to expose some of your ear is not as comfortable or effective as just positioning the entire headphones off that ear like you would traditionally.
- When wearing these for an hour+, the top of my head where the band rests feels some discomfort. This is probably due to me rocking a shaved head and having no hat or hair to add some extra padding....but I would imagine that it would put a nice band imprint on your hair there, so don't assume these have that 'free-float/weightless' feel that some headphones have. But it is not bad enough for me to complain...just mentioning.
- You can hear through the cups when the cord touches things. This is only really noticeable when the audio is quiet or muted, but still I noticed it the instant I put these on for the first time.

The bottom line: just a pleasure. I am in love with listening to music again...I feel like a teenager with my first Walkman.

I was looking for high impedance headphones that had extraordinary sound and did not have significant sound leak. These headphones definitely meet that description.

I use them in the office and when I have them turned up to about 60 percent of max (which is about as loud as I can take) the person next to me can't hear anything. There is a good amount of bass, but not overwhelming like some other headphones. I also found these headphones extremely clear and crisp. Some other headphones I've tried had the same level of bass, but sounded muddy compared to these Sennheisers. I use these headphones with my LG V20, which has a very nice DAC. As a result, all music sounds very bright and lively. Overall, I'm very happy with the sound quality.

I also appreciate the excellent build quality of these headphones. They feel sturdy and substantial without being awkward to handle or wear for long periods of time. The headphones fold up nicely so it's easy to pack away. The set comes with a nice case but the case is a bit big. Given that these headphones were designed for DJ-ing, you can't fault Sennheiser too much for the case size. It's still really nice and does a good job at protecting the headphones and accessories that come with them.

At first I thought that I'd probably return these headphones because they were too expensive. But after using them, I absolutely love them and will be enjoying them for years to come.

Exactly what I was looking for.

Absolutely the best headphones I've come across. All my music stored in my computer sounds anew. Deep, clear bass that doesn't overpower the mids or the highs. Solid construction that'll make this headphone probably last for years on end. A great investment for everybody. The only problem was the cord. It's too long (3 meters) and feels like it'll break faster than the headphones themselves. Highly recommend http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LVWSVM0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
As durable as the headphones themselves and at a perfect length as well.

A truly unique listening experience

August 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

I purchased these headphones after having a couple pairs of VERY bassy headphones, the last ones being the Sony X headphones. They sounded fine and I enjoyed them but didn't realize what I was missing until I put the hd8's on. The bass is there but there isn't as much as people say there is because it won't sound right until you hear how clean and balanced every sound is. Most cheap cans drown you in bass to cover up the weak mids and highs, but the hd8's present a very equally represented sound that is so crisp that u couldn't take them off for 3 hours when I first put them on!
