A new world of detail and precision. HD 550 sound gives you in a light, comfy, accessible package
Most audio products deliver “bathtub” sound, where bass and treble overwhelm, and vocals are weak. The HD 550 eliminates gaps and peaks, offering balanced sound. Sub bass you can feel, extended treble, and precise soundstage create a lifelike 3D experience—perfect for music, games, and more.
What acoustic sorcery is this? Getting a headphone design just right is a balancing act.
The HD 550 delivers pure, unadulterated sound with a direct analog signal path, avoiding electronic processing that adds noise or artifacts. Our 150 Ohm transducer in the proven HD 500 chassis offers a 3D soundstage, neutral balance, and smooth treble, perfect for audiophile-quality daily listening.
So light they practically disappear. At just 237 g, they’re about as unobtrusive as possible.
The HD 550 design reflects users’ feedback: “Make it light, comfy, and sound great.” So, we upgraded the headband with softer foam and high-quality synthetic leather. Combined with reduced clamping force and plush velour earpads, it ensures a stable, barely-there fit for endless listening comfort.
