Our Verdict

Sennheiser HD 800 S

Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO

The Sennheiser HD 800 S and Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO are both very well-built, better-performing audiophile headphones than the Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO. The Sennheiser sound less sharp while still creating an immersive sound with better consistency between wears and wearers. The Sennheiser are also more comfortable to wear for longer listening sessions, although some may find their ear cups a bit large. However, the Beyerdynamic are still solid for analytical listening, albeit less consistent between wears.
