Thats not the same as suggesting theyre your only option, though.
The Sennheiser HD 505 are fine-sounding headphones in many ways, too.
That doesnt mean that those features arent entirely fit for purpose, though.
And really, theres only the cable left to discuss where features are concerned.
At the other end of the 1.8m cable theres a 3.5mm termination with a screw-on 6.3mm adapter supplied.
Certainly the Doechii album is done no favours whatsoever by this flyweight attitude.
The headband adjustment mechanism is concealed inside the headband itself, and operates with a sort of clicky positivity.
Should I buy the Sennheiser HD 505?

Notes
Score
Features
Good drivers, two plus sizes shame about no balanced cable, though.
4.5 / 5
Sound quality
Insightful, detailed and dynamic, but bass is a little lacking in substance.
4 / 5
Design
Very comfortable and well-made, though the plastic doesn’t feel very premium.
Value
Very strong sound quality for the price, though the HD 600 are only a little more expensive.
What they dont do is punch with any sort of conviction.
They’re excellent headphones for that price.
