Sennheiser HD 800

Sennheiser’s high- end HD 800 reference headphones are a joy to look at and a delight to wear, with massive 56mm drivers that deliver bags of clarity, no matter what you throw at them and how loud you ramp up the volume. Their open-back design provides added realism, but they do tend to leak a little when you listen loud. £1,100, en- uk. sennheiser.com
