Sennheiser HD 800

Despite the financial crisis being a convenient time to cut the travel budget, quite often time consuming flights to conferences and important meetings can't be avoided. Nobody likes jetlag and enjoying your time in the sky is a sure-fire way to ensure you get the most out of your face time with stakeholders on the ground.

Even the headphones they hand you on a private jet are usually not up to scratch and don't come with standard features like noise reduction - which is why the latest offering from Germany's most famous portable audio company is worth the look. The HD 800s come with a 56 mm sound transducer, which to the non-audiophiles amongst us translates into some serious soundwaves being sent into your brain.

Sennheiser has been a celebrity in the audio market for some time and it is no surprise that this headset has been engineered to meticulous detail. The ear cup has been angled so the sound being sent into your eardrums is crystal clear, though it will take a few listens to adjust too. The engineering team didn't stop there; almost taking the project to excess, the cables themselves have been shielded against electromagnetic disturbance with wires made of silver-plated low-oxygen copper.

The only complaint that should be voiced about these headphones is the size - which comes with the territory of luxury headphones but is definitely noticeable on the HD 800s. While they may not be the most amazing fashion statements, Sennheisers top-end luxury headset are definitely worth the coin for mobile CIOs and those who place a high value on audio quality.
