The classic silver appearance of the headset has remained in some parts of the Sennheiser HD800S Anniversary Edition. Still, several other sections of the headset have been painted in a matte golden color.

The Sennheiser HD800S Anniversary Edition is handcrafted at Sennheiser’s headquarters in Wedemark, Germany. The plastic used in this headphone is reinforced and contains fiberglass to create a lightweight and durable structure.

The ear cushions are made of artificial velor, while the grilles on the outside of the cups are made of stainless steel. The earcups were given special attention to detail design, angled to accommodate the user’s ears. Thus, it can convey the dimension and atmosphere of the sound naturally.

The dynamic transducer with a double diaphragm with a diameter of 56 mm covers the frequency range from 4 to 51,000 Hz, and the proprietary absorbing material, placed behind the membrane, allows the user to get rid of the effect of masking high frequencies with lower ones.
