Product Information
Hear the music you’ve been missing, in complete comfort, with the Sennheiser HD550 headphones.
Superb all-rounders, designed for a neutral sound
Like the famous HD650s, the Sennheiser HD550 headphones are designed for a neutral response. Not so analytical that they can be tiring in the long term or overly warm, the HD550’s strike a neutral balance for enjoyable yet revealing sound. The neutral balance also means that they suit gaming and remote working video just as well as music, letting you use one pair of headphones across various types of media.
Smooth and powerful bass extension
Featuring an improved laminate diaphragm, the speaker drivers dig deep into the bass, without over exaggerating the sound. Reaching deep down to just 6Hz, they offer a wide frequency response that lets you hear the bottom-end response precisely as the musician intended.
Detailed top-end response
Smooth and powerful in the bass, the HD550’s are equally impressive at the top-end. With the treble response extended to 39,500Hz, you get to enjoy uncompressed harmonics for sweet and detailed treble that’s easy on the ear.
Comfortable, over-ear fit
Relatively lightweight and with a mild clamping force, the HD550’s sit comfortably around your ears. Velour ear cushions combine with the deeply padded synthetic leather headband for superb comfort, making these the ideal headphones for long term comfort.
Durable construction
Sennheiser’s 500-series durability is legendary and the HD550s easily live up to the reputation. The metal headband ensures maximum strength at a critical point, with metal mesh also protecting the drivers. The cable plugs in at one side of the headphones, making it easy to replace or upgrade.
Supplied with a carry bag and 6.35mm adapter
Supplied with a drawstring carry bag, the HD550s can be safely stored away without gathering dust or being at risk of being scratched by other objects. The 1.8 metre cable is fitted with a 3.5mm plug but can be quickly converted to 6.35mm via the supplied adapter. A wide range of aftermarket spares and accessories let you change the cable for a different length and plug type.
Get one pair of headphones to master every task, with the Sennheiser HD550.
