Sennheiser has just launched the HD 505 headphones, built for both music fans and gamers. They’re manufactured in Sennheiser’s audiophile facility in Tullamore, Ireland, and focus on delivering clear, detailed sound along with lasting comfort.
These open-back headphones use a custom 120-ohm transducer for accurate sound reproduction. With an open-earcup design, they cover a frequency range of 12 to 38,500 Hz with less than 0.2% distortion. The angled transducers are designed to mimic nearfield loudspeakers, providing a more expansive soundstage.
The HD 505 is built on the lightweight chassis of the HD 500 series, weighing just 237 grams. It features a synthetic leather headband for a comfortable fit and metal mesh ear cups for durability and style. The headphones come with a detachable 1.8-meter (6-foot) cable equipped with a standard 3.5mm plug and a 6.3mm adapter to connect with various devices.
In line with the HD 500 series’ design philosophy, these headphones allow for some user customization. You can swap out the cables and ear pads, which means you can upgrade components or add features like an in-line microphone for gaming or calls.
Pricing and Availability:
The HD 505 headphones are now available. They are priced at EUR 279.90 in the European Union and USD 249.95 in the United States. You can purchase them on Amazon or through Sennheiser’s official website.
