IT IS A CLOSED BACK HEADPHONE

REGRADS NOMAX

A closed-back HD 800S with real bass =

Just purchased the 800s.. Have a 30 day return timeline. How much will the 820 cost?

 

[HoloSpice]

Lol people are saying over $2000

 

[LaCuffia]

You won’t get much information now, including price. Only Nomax knows...

 

[Ekul61]

Interesting. Just luv the 800s. You have to wonder if I should return my purchase.

 

[XERO1]

They haven't been officially announced yet, so it's anyone's guess as to their release date and cost.

A closed HD 800, interesting. Honestly could be truly world class if done right. So far I have found Sennheiser has been a bit meh in closed-back designs, always felt Senn shined in open designs. Closed-backs has been more of Beyers or Fostex's forte, let's hope Senn gets it right.

The s model has good clean bass. Seems like every time. These company's add more bass. The overall clarity seems to suffer.

Agreed. The Momentums and HD 630VB sound like crap (IMHO, of course). But this will be Sennheiser's first attempt at a TOTL closed-back, so they have a lot more riding on getting this one right.

We'll find out in 31 days.

I could see them being around the same price as the 800S. AKG had the K812 and the K872 at $1499. They're just closing an already-designed model, so it's not like they have to spend wads on R&D.

Closed back, yes please. I'm already sold even without hype, I was waiting for something like this from sennheiser for a while now and it's finally coming

Day one purchase for me.
