Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • You should be fine with anything from Sennheiser from 500 series, so HD560S/505/550, including possibly HD58X from american Drop store, and also HD490 Pro.
  • There are plenty of new models which I would consider though, but I haven't tested them yet, so I can't make a recommendation. Those would be HD490 Pro, HD550, and HD505.
  • Check out the Sennheiser HD505. 👍🏻🙂
  • Want to add the HD505 and HD550 to your list as well as they are comparable to your already mentioned headphones and work really well for gaming also.
  • For me the HD 505 is a more neutral sound signature (albeit with bass that still under represents actual listening of instruments in a live environment).

Cons

  • and we already have yet another the new model, HD505 launching.
  • Feel free to check out the Sennheiser HD490 Pro / HD505 / HD550 and the Audio-Technica R50X, for example.
  • i thought the new hotness was the HD 505? they have too many 5xx models nowdays
  • Sennheiser hd505
  • Compared to Aune AR5000 and Sennheiser HD 505, Arya Stealth gives a bigger and more holographic presentation. Stage, imaging and separation perception is better.
