Review on 🎧 SENNHEISER HD 820: Ultimate Audiophile Reference Headphones with Ring Radiator Drivers and Glass Reflector Technology - Sound Isolation, Closed Earcups, Balanced Cable, 2-Year Warranty (Black) by Anand Anand ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

Pros below: Oh, God - I bought these ears a year ago for just a hundred from the city link (bow to him). Among the dynamic headphones that I have, of the competitors, only Denon 9200. But 300 ohm and 25, in this case, it's like an old single malt scotch and a blend product from a well-known and conscientious manufacturer: quality, taste, design, but without that noble tone , which you look for all your life and keep its aftertaste as a criterion for other tastings. The HD 820 captures the richness and finesse of the best dynamic high-impedance headphones yet remains responsive and vibrant. Yes, these are headphones with a dark presentation of the general plan, but the tastier highs and mids, which, miraculously, are not lost against the background of powerful, textured multi-layered bass, and the breadth and airy depth of the stage make them one of the best in the closed segment. I will add that, although the headphones are positioned as stationary, they are perfectly revealed, thanks to their high sensitivity and dynamics, with portable players of the top and even the middle cluster. My experience with the Fiio x2, Fiio m11 pro has exceeded all expectations - almost nothing was lost in sound compared to listening through stationary amplifiers, and the Fiio m17 and Shanling m7 paired with them as the best pairing I have ever heard in a portable. Has cons: 1. Headphones need warming up - they can frighten out of the box with a slightly rounded and wadded bass, which after 100-200 hours acquires the elasticity of a shady beat of professionals. 2. Only long wires are included, although the headphones can be and even very cool to listen to through a good portable.
