Closed-back headphones
The closed-back model of Sennheiser's HD 500 range, for listening without disturbing others. It comes with a long home cable and a shorter cable with a mic for phones.
-
Smooth treble
Reviewers found the treble smooth and relaxed rather than bright. That suits long sessions but takes some sparkle from cymbals and strings.
-
Large pads, firm clamp
Reviewers found the large pads comfortable, though the clamp is firm.
-
Two cables, one with a mic
A 1.2 m cable with an in-line mic and remote suits phones, and a 3 m cable with a 6.3 mm plug suits home equipment. Both are detachable.
