Sennheiser HD 800
With a detachable cable you can use alternative cables, and if the cable is pulled it will pop out instead of breaking.
4.weight
260g
330g
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.

6.has a straight plug

Sound quality
1.sound pressure level
108dB/mW
102dB/mW
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
2.highest frequency
41500Hz
51000Hz
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
3.lowest frequency
9Hz
6Hz
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
4.has passive noise reduction
Sennheiser HD 660 S
Sennheiser HD 800
The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
5.impedance
150 Ohms
300 Ohms
Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
6.has active noise-cancelling (noise control)
Sennheiser HD 660 S
Sennheiser HD 800
This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
