“I never noticed that before!"

Imagine discovering: the sound of a piano returning to its resting position; the subtle hum of a tube amp; the saxophonist inhaling; a synth line buried deep in the mix. The HD 505 reveals a whole new world of small details like these. And it works for everything: music, movies, and gaming, too!

High-end components and perfectly tuned acoustics

An optimized 120-ohm transducer from our own facility in Ireland delivers clear mids and extended treble. The transducer is the heart of the headphone. It includes the magnet and diaphragm that vibrate to produce sound. We angled this one forward in the open-back cups to help create the “soundstage”: that’s when it feels like sound is coming from a specific spot in front of (or behind) you. 

Appealing accents and serious comfort

The sophisticated color accents of the HD 505 make a great first impression. But the HD 505 is more than just a glow-up. Based on the HD 500 chassis, these headphones come in at a svelte 237 g. They’re so light and comfy, you’ll barely notice the cushy headband resting on your head.
