Sennheiser has just lifted the curtain on the HD 550, its latest open-back headphones designed to deliver high-fidelity sound and all-day comfort for audiophiles and gamers alike. Priced at S$449, the HD 550 strikes a remarkable balance between top-tier audio performance and accessible pricing.
Crafted for those who crave immersive soundscapes and precision tuning, the HD 550 offers a wide frequency response from 6 Hz to 39.5 kHz, ultra-low distortion below 0.2%, and lush stereo imaging powered by custom 38mm transducers manufactured in Sennheiser’s elite audiophile facility in Tullamore, Ireland.
“The HD 550’s airy detail is obvious,” said Canice Koh, General Manager of Sonova Consumer Hearing Singapore. “But what sets it apart is its polite, honest voicing – a joy to wear and listen to for hours on end.”
Open-Back Design with Spacious Sound
With a newly engineered acoustic mesh and angled drivers, the HD 550 creates a wide, lifelike soundstage. The headphone’s lag-free spatial awareness and neutral mids ensure that every sonic detail is faithfully delivered.
Gamers will also appreciate the immersive edge the HD 550 provides, bringing crisp transients and deep, punchy bass that’s perfect for both high-stakes matches and cinematic single-player adventures.
Comfort You’ll Forget is There
Weighing just 237 grams, the HD 550 is lighter than many gaming controllers and features a relaxed clamping force, making it ideal for long listening sessions.
A soft-touch headband and ventilated metal mesh earcup covers enhance comfort without compromising on durability.
Its modular design allows for easy replacement of earpads and cables. Out of the box, users get a 1.8 m cable with a 3.5 mm stereo jack and a 6.35 mm adapter. Optional cables for balanced audio or microphone integration are also available separately.
Available Now
The Sennheiser HD 550 is now available via sennheiser-hearing.com and at selected Sennheiser retailers across Singapore, retailing at S$449.
