While the classic HD 5xx chassis of the HD 550 will appear familiar to many headphone aficionados, a new 38mm driver custom-built by Sennheiser at its own Irish facility makes all the difference. The open-back HD 550 is tuned to perform with all types of content, from music and live recordings to movie and gaming soundtracks, and its warm, lush sound ensures hours of listening pleasure. Lightweight and comfortable, with impressive build quality and a modular design ensuring durability, the HD 550 is a great choice for die-hard headphone devotees on a budget, and for music lovers taking their first steps on the road to true hi-fi sound.
