With the HD 820 you can explore and rediscover your music in absolute reference-class quality without intruding on the aural comfort zone of others. Thus the HD 820 not only open up the sound field but also new places and opportunities for you to enjoy your music. The Technology of Transparency The breakthrough transparent performance of the HD 820 has been achieved through a special innovation: Their legendary Sennheiser Ring Radiator transducers are fitted with unique glass covers. Revealing the great look of the technical component within this visually striking feature was actually developed wholly in service to the sound: The concave glass reflects the sound waves from the rear of the transducer to an absorber which results in minimal resonance. Thus the sound waves are effectively gone like they would be in open headphones.
