“We are delighted to be able to present our top-of-the-range headphones, the HD 800 and the IE 8, in the German Pavilion. Through our presence at Expo 2010 we hope to promote the technical skill and quality of Lower Saxony here in China”, says Volker Bartels, President of Manufacturing and Logistics and spokesman for the Sennheiser Executive Team. Expo visitors are introduced to the HD 800. These audiophile headphones have developed a strong following thanks to their brilliant sound and impressive spatial quality. The dynamic stereo headphones with their open design combine innovative technology with select materials and high-quality workmanship. The main feature of the dynamic stereo headphones is a 56 mm transducer, currently the largest in any dynamic headphones. |
