Open-back wired headphones
Sennheiser's HD 500 series open-back wired headphones for listening at home. There is no microphone, so voice chat in games needs a separate mic.
-
Smoother treble
Reviewers found the treble smoother and less sharp than the HD 560S's, though some found it lacks sparkle.
-
Comfortable for long sessions
Reviewers found them comfortable for long sessions, with a moderate clamp and soft velour pads that are easy on glasses arms.
-
Open-back design
Metal mesh covers leave the backs open, so they block almost no outside noise and others nearby can hear your audio.
