Product Description:	HD 800 S - The audiophile headphones all others are measured against, our HD 800 S doesn't just raise the ceiling for critical listening-it smashes right through it. Combining the care devoted to a handcrafted instrument and the precision of modern manufacturing, the HD 800 S lets you explore your entire music collection from the inside out. The Exploration of Sound The HD 800 S demonstrates over 75 years of audio expertise, redefining the critical listening experience. After launching its predecessor-the HD 800-we accepted a self-imposed challenge to completely disappear from the last link in the audio chain. 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. It Has a Ring to It The heart of the HD 800 S and its striking sound is the 56mm Ring Radiator transducer. It 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. Solid as a Rock The 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. Each 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 trave

It's an audiophile headphone not a gaming headphone. Not really sure what the deal is with the commenters on this thread.

I paid $1,389.09 after tax from the Sennheiser store for this back in September 2021, so this seems like a decent deal. That being said, I also got another $190 off from Paypal Rewards Honey which was pretty neat, bringing my total price back then to $1189.09

Ok, but this doesn't help us in any way.

Might be worth having the app installed and refreshing on the Adorama page a few times. Looks like it's offering $25 back to me at the moment

Disclaimer, they're (Paypal Honey) essentially selling your shopping/browsing data, but nothing's stopping you from installing the browser extension, refreshing on something you wanna buy a few times, and checking back the next day or two to see if the extension is offering you some bonuses on the side. Then you can immediately disable or uninstall the extension. Handy for saving a couple bucks on items like these, sorry if that wasn't clear.

Quote from MyNeighborElHoardo

Looked at this and missed a digit initially. Man, spending that much on headphones for vidya games though... then again they'll be relevant to you a lot longer than a $1200 GPU (though you'd also be dropping a few hundred more to drive them). I would love to demo these one day though and really understand.

It's no real extra effort for me to drive these since I already have a Susvara and associated audio stack. Compared to both the Susvara and Utopia, this isn't as bad cost wise. Besides, I already updated the gaming PC, complete custom EK loop with a 4090 FE and 13900KS on an Asus Z790 Apex board. This is a great deal on these headphones. Thanks again OP, I hesitated on the last time these went on sale and kept checking regularly hoping it would pop up again.

I can't game or listen to music while coding without waking up the wife and kids at night so I went with the fancy headphones (and stack) route. But I get your dilemma.
