The beautifully designed reference headphones boast an opulent matte gold colorway, which speaks to the high-quality experience that they provide audiophiles. Featuring the brand's Ring Radiator, the open-back design has been specially created to seamlessly match the left and right transducer systems—providing listeners with optimal balance to deliver a completely natural sound. With a lightweight but durable build and handcrafted ear pads that are made from microfiber fabric, the headphones are made with comfort and longevity in mind. Created as a limited edition series, the brand will produce just 750 of the HD 800 S Anniversary Edition headphones, with each one numbered to mark its authenticity.
