Even for a lack of dedicated microphone, software, or lighting, the latest addition to Sennheiser's headset lineup is looking pretty tasty for gamers. Sennheiser just needs to get the pricing right.
Joining the likes of the HD 650, HD 800 S, and HD 599, the new HD 550 sit in the 'entry-level' category for Sennheiser. That's not to say they're cheap, though. At $300/£250/€300, these will be a significant investment compared to many gaming headsets. Nevertheless, they do look promising.
Featuring a similar driver package to fellow 500-series headphones, I'm told these have been tailored to offer extended bass and treble response [[link]] at the slight cost of lower mids. Rated with a 6 - 39,500 Hz frequency response, they easily blow some drivers out of the water, but the proof of the pudding will be in the… listening?
The impedance on these is 150 Ω, which is pretty high, though Sennheiser says they should still run pretty well without an amp.
These headphones sit below the HD 650s, which are nominally priced at €499, and which I have been using as my headphones of choice for a couple of years now. The thing is, I didn't pay anywhere near that sort of money for those. In fact, you can find a pair of HD 650 for sub-£250. They're popular, but not graphics card popular, as they've also been around for a long time now. What that means is while the HD 550s are technically cheaper by way of MSRP, in reality, they might end up costing more than the mid-range set they're intended to sit below.
I can ponder that a little more once I've got the HD 550 on my head and compared the two. One thing I do like about Sennheiser's headphones is that you can buy spares and parts that are widely compatible with the lot, such as a new cable (or balanced cable). So if your cat chews through your headphone cable, no bother.
