Much more than a headphone amplifier – it’s also a quality DAC

A selection of coaxial, optical and USB inputs ensures connection with PC, laptop, Blu-ray/DVD/CD player and virtually any source with digital output.

The Sennheiser HD 820 is a high-end, closed-back headphone that is designed for audiophile listening. It features a unique design that utilizes a transparent glass cover on the ear cups to enclose the drivers, which helps to reduce resonance and improve sound quality.

The HD 820 is equipped with a dynamic transducer that delivers a powerful and detailed soundstage, and it has a sensitivity of 104 dB SPL/1V. It has a impedance of 300 ohms, which means it requires a high-quality amplifier to reach its full potential.
