“I never noticed that before!"
Have you memorized your favorite songs note for note? Possibly in fear of being dragged to a karaoke bar? Even so, there could be details you haven’t yet heard.
The HD 505 uncovers subtle audio details like a piano's return, a tube amp's hum, or a buried synth line. It delivers high-resolution sound for music, movies, and gaming, unlike lesser products with exaggerated bass and treble but weak mids.
High-end components and perfectly tuned acoustics
An optimized 120-ohm transducer from our own facility in Ireland delivers clear mids and extended treble.
The HD 505's transducer, with its magnet and diaphragm, is angled in open-back cups to create a vivid soundstage, placing instruments like a saxophone or piano in specific spots. Its wide frequency range (below 20 Hz to over 20 kHz) captures deep bass and high notes, with fine-tuned damping for smooth, detailed treble response.
Appealing accents and serious comfort
The sophisticated color accents of the HD 505 make a great first impression. But the HD 505 is more than just a glow-up.
Built on the HD 500 chassis, the HD 505 weighs just 237 g for lightweight comfort. With a soft synthetic leather headband and velour ear cushions, they offer low clamping force and a luxurious feel.
Seeking a long-term relationship
Some people get a little weird about headphones. Like a kid with a favorite blanket. And we feel you! Which is why these are built to last.
The HD 505 upholds Sennheiser's durable German engineering, featuring high-grade metal mesh ear cups and less plastic for a premium feel. Compatible with HD 500 series accessories and cables, with long-term availability of replacement parts like ear cushions.
