SENNHEISER HD550 Over-Ear Open-Back Wired Headphones - Black

Your media is keeping secrets. No, not an encoded bitcoin key or Banksy’s real name — sonic secrets: the faint inhale of a singer, a fretboard squeak, whispered background vocals buried deep in the mix, faraway footsteps in an online game. The SENNHEISER HD550 Over-Ear Open-Back Wired Headphones - Black are your cheat code to hear them all — in brilliant detail and lifelike presence. And you don’t need a roomful of expensive equipment to access the experience.

A new world of detail and precision
Hear details you’d never noticed before. Feel like you’re right in the middle of the action. That’s what the HD 550 sound gives you in a light, comfy, accessible package.

What acoustic sorcery is this?
Getting a headphone design just right is a balancing act. It helps if you’ve been on this tightrope before.

So light and comfortable they practically disappear
Has there been a contest for “most performance per gram”? If so, the HD 550 probably won. At just 237 g, they’re about as unobtrusive as possible.

But will they outlast my favorite band?
Depends who your favorite band is! Mick Jagger may very well be immortal, we can’t know for sure (Mick doesn't consult us on these things unfortunately). What we do know: people are still using Sennheiser headphones produced in the 1960s.
