New Delhi: Sennheiser, a global leader in audio innovation, has launched the HD 500 BAM boom arm microphonein India, expanding the versatility of its popular HD 500 series audiophile headphones. Priced at ₹4,990, the HD 500 BAM is an upgrade accessory designed to transform select Sennheiser headphones into a high-performance gaming, communication and professional audio solution, without compromising on sound quality.

Unlike a standalone microphone, the HD 500 BAM integrates seamlessly with compatible HD 500 series headphones, delivering clear voice capture for gaming, video calls, livestreams and remote work, while retaining Sennheiser’s signature immersive sound and comfort.

Optimised for Clear Voice Communication

At the core of the HD 500 BAM is a 10 mm electret condenser microphone with a cardioid pickup pattern, engineered to focus on the user’s voice while reducing background noise. This ensures consistent, natural and intelligible speech even in demanding environments. The accessory features a stable yet flexible boom arm, durable cabling and includes three user-replaceable foam windscreens for long-term hygiene and reliability.

Seamless Upgrade for HD 500 Series Headphones

The HD 500 BAM offers a first-party solution for HD 500 series users who previously relied on third-party accessories for voice communication. Designed to integrate with Sennheiser’s single-sided twist-lock connector, the boom arm microphone enables high-quality speech capture without additional hardware or complex setup.

It is compatible with select Sennheiser headphones, including the HD 560S, HD 599 SE, HD 505, HD 569 and HD 620S, allowing users to upgrade their existing audiophile headphones into a capable all-in-one headset.

Competitive Advantage for Gamers

Known for their expansive soundstage and precise imaging, HD 500 series headphones are widely preferred by gamers who depend on accurate positional audio. The HD 500 BAM complements these strengths with lag-free, high-quality voice transmission, delivering a complete gaming headset experience that rivals dedicated gaming headsets while maintaining true audiophile sound.

Simple Controls and Broad Compatibility

Installation is quick and intuitive via a secure twist-and-lock mechanism. The 1.5-metre cable features an in-line remote for convenient volume adjustment and microphone mute. Equipped with a 4-pole 3.5 mm CTIA connector, the HD 500 BAM offers plug-and-play compatibility with PCs, Macs, gaming consoles, laptops and mobile devices. A Y-adapter is also included for systems with separate audio and microphone inputs.

What Sennheiser Says
