Sennheiser’s new HD 550 headphones are built for those who take their sound seriously. Designed for audiophiles, gamers, and anyone who craves expansive, immersive audio, these open-back headphones deliver sprawling stereo imaging, deep bass extension, and an ultra-light build that makes hours of listening feel effortless.

At the heart of the Sennheiser HD 550 is a custom 38mm transducer, delivering crystal-clear detail from 6 Hz to 39.5 kHz with less than 0.2% total harmonic distortion. Its angled driver arrangement creates a natural, wide-open soundstage, placing you in the center of your music or game. With a 150-ohm impedance, the HD 550 scales beautifully when paired with high-end audio gear like Sennheiser’s HDV 820.

Comfort is key, and the Sennheiser HD 550 nails it with soft-touch materials, a ventilated metal mesh earcup design, and a relaxed clamping force. At just 237 grams (8.4 oz), these headphones are lighter than most gaming controllers, making them perfect for long listening sessions. A modular design ensures easy part replacements, while a 1.8m cable with a 3.5mm jack and 6.35mm adapter makes them versatile for any setup.

Available to preorder now, the HD 550, priced at $300, combines high-end audio performance with all-day comfort, making it a must-have for serious listeners.
