I have a habit of focusing more on music beats and rhythms rather than songs. Therefore, whenever I pick up a headphone, I make sure that every thood of the song arrives with me. For example, when I want to promote my energy, I go straight to an excited track – despite what the songs are saying. And in this mission, Sennheiser HD 505 became my Comrade.
The HD505 Copper version is the brand-new premium wired headphone of the Senezer-yes, they still exist in India. At a price of Rs 27,990, these headphones have an open-back-back design, complemented by a synthetic leather headband for additional comfort. They form the heritage of the HD 500 series and pack a particular engineer 120-Om transducer that is billed to give increased audio performance.
Sennheiser says HD 505 is really special and especially designed in audioofiles and gamers. We have kept them through pace and what we have got here.
Sennheiser HD 505: Design and Fit
The headphones that work perfectly with glasses are difficult to find. Most of the time, you struggle to find the right fit, or worse, all get headaches with stress. HD 505 headphones are different. They are very comfortable. The headband is wrapped in soft synthetic leather and contains a generous amount of throne. It is designed in such a way that it does not feel or feel like an additional burden on extended use. They are also surprisingly light, unless you compare with wireless options. Any such comparison is fruitless and clearly, unnecessary because these headphones are perfectly for a separate set of people.
Open-back pads are also very soft and breathable, which is a life saving in India’s soaked summer. They compress enough to keep goggles for us also compress enough to keep comfortable-no strange pressure on the frame.
Cushion is not the only detail that gives a premium look to the Senezer HD 505 headphone, contributing to the open back year cup and copper detailing. The external design gives an impression that real speakers are directly placed outside the earcups. And the description of copper is just one cherry at the top.
Sennheiser HD 505: Sound Quality
The headphone is built around the in-house 120-Om Anglend Transducer. These drivers are designed to give a frequency range from 12Hz to 38.5KHz. Result? A beautiful balanced, rich hearing experience with expansion and depth piles. During the review period, I mostly heard all the songs of all styles, catering for various pitches. Unlike its basic headphones, the Senaizer HD 505 catches every beat and thood, no matter how sweet it is. On the other hand, loud and deep bass songs echoed in my ear as I was in a concert. To imagine Ed Sheeran’s sapphire, Dragon’s believer and Diljit Dosanj’s Ik Kudi, with HD 505, every song tapped me his feet.
Of course, with no noise isolation, you want to enjoy them relatively quiet somewhere. But hey, a good pair of wired headphones deserves a good hearing space.
So, if you plan to pop on the new Sennheiser HD 505 and go to a library, or a CAF, think twice. These are open-back headphones, which means two things. First, the music will be leaked, anyone within the earshot will be audible. And second, every bit of external noise is going to a walk. It has been said, the place inside the house is where HD 505 shines, which is the point of these headphones anyway.
Sennheiser HD 505: Decision
At a price of Rs 27,990 in India, there are no HD 505 headphones at all, which you can call budget friendly, especially if you are a casual listener who are looking for something to pair with your phone just on daily traffic. But for audiofiles and studios professionals, they are a solid, reliable pick up with all hallmarks of the engineering cleverness of the Content. For those who value high-end sound, they provide crisp, wide and beautifully balanced sounds. His design is both smart and trendy.
There is a market for this type of goods. It does not matter how big or small it is. And in that market, these headphones are no less than being a superstar.
