Frequently Asked Questions

The HD 800 S offers a more airy, ethereal presentation, but the AEON 2 Open-Back provides a more controlled, impactful bass response and a slightly more intimate soundstage.
While they’ll function, a dedicated headphone amplifier will significantly improve their performance, bringing out the full potential of the planar drivers.
With regular use, expect the faux leather earpads to last around 2-3 years, after which replacement is recommended to maintain optimal comfort and sound isolation.
