The Sennheiser HD 500 BAM is a boom-type microphone designed as an accessory that, when connected to compatible Sennheiser headphones, combines high-quality headphone sound with clear speech. It is especially suitable for the HD 500 series headphones and offers an easy way to turn your headphones into a convenient headset for gaming and calls. The microphone’s 10 mm condenser capsule and cardioid pickup pattern reduce background noise and ensure clear sound quality.<\/p>\n
The microphone is designed with speech clarity in mind. The cardioid pickup pattern means the microphone primarily picks up sound from the front, reducing environmental disturbances. This helps keep conversations and gaming chats clear without distracting background noise.<\/p>\n
The HD 500 BAM works with almost all devices featuring a 3.5 mm 4-pole CTIA standard connector, such as gaming consoles, computers, smartphones, and tablets. The included Y-adapter also enables computer use. However, some devices may require a separate adapter to use the microphone function.<\/p>\n
The microphone is compatible with the following Sennheiser headphones:<\/p>\n
\u2013 HD 505<\/p>\n

The microphone is not compatible with headphones from other manufacturers.<\/p>\n
The microphone features a convenient in-line volume control and mute switch, allowing quick audio management without needing to touch the device. The 1.5-meter cable offers sufficient freedom of movement, and attachment to the HD 500 series headphones is easy and secure thanks to Sennheiser’s twistlock mechanism.<\/p>\n
The package includes three replaceable foam pop filters that protect the microphone capsule and improve sound quality. This helps keep the microphone operational and the sound clear even during extended use.<\/p>\n
The microphone uses an electret condenser capsule with a frequency response of 100\u201316,000 Hz. Its sensitivity is -37 dB\/Pa, and it can handle sound pressure levels up to 132 dB SPL. Power supply operates at 1.5\u20134.0 V, with power consumption under 0.5 mA.<\/p>\n
The packaging is made from folded cardboard without plastic, supporting recycling. The combined weight of the product and packaging is approximately 43 grams.<\/p>\n
The Sennheiser HD 500 BAM offers clear and interference-free sound quality for those who want to add a microphone to Sennheiser\u2019s HD 500 series headphones. It is a practical choice for gaming, remote work, and calls where sound quality and ease of use are important.<\/p>\n
