Reviewers from rtings have found:
The Sennheiser HD 820 are comfortable, sound good and have a low latency wired connection. They block a bit more noise and do not leak as much as the HD 800 S so you can use them in more varied office environments. Some audiophiles will appreciate the deeper bass of the HD 820 and the relatively large soundstage for a closed-back design.
Pros
  • High-end and durable build quality
  • Decently well-balanced sound
  • Low latency and decently long audio cable
Cons
  • Bass is prone to inconsistencies across multiple listeners
  • Mediocre-at-best for noise isolation
