Sennheiser HD 800 S
HiFiMan Arya
Both the HiFiMan Arya and the Sennheiser HD 800 S are audiophile headphones for close listening, but you may like one over the other, depending on your preferences. The HiFiMan have planar magnetic transducers and deliver slightly more bass. However, the Sennheiser are a little more balanced, with a flat sound profile suited for clean sound design. They also feel better built and come with a carrying pouch and an extra audio cable.
