Description:
Forget Black Friday, upgrade your gaming audio today with a lowest-ever price on the headphones that made me ditch my gaming headsets this year.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The Seenheiser HD 550 headphones have been somewhat of a revolution for me this year. Their exquisite sound relegated a number of fine gaming headsets available to me, and I will forever be trying to work them into my setups henceforth.

They launched at $350 / 250, which was a little steep, but for me, their quality just about justified the price. However, in superb news, the price
tag has been mitigated for those in the UK with retailer Peter Tyson offering them for just 199 (was 249) .

Broadly speaking, I haven't seen many, if any, deals on these since they came out earlier this year, and I've certainly not seen any fanfare about these price cuts, which are indeed, as far as I can possibly tell, the lowest-ever UK price.

If you like having options, then this price is also being matched by the
likes of AV.com , Audio Affair , and Richer Sounds .

This is an excellent price and means they offer far greater value for money than ever before - and perhaps makes them much more likely the price many hoped they would launch at. By way of reference, Amazon doesn't currently
have stock of the headphones, but I've only ever seen them sell at 249 there. Today's best Sennheiser HD 550 deals

I've been waiting for a reduction on the Sennheiser HD 550s since they launched earlier this year, and now several UK retailers are offering excellent discounts! Sadly, no price cuts in the US to speak of, but I've got the best links for shoppers there, below.

Price check: AV.com - 199 | Audio Affair - 199 | Richer Sounds - 199 |
Amazon - 249 (out of stock)

US prices: Walmart - $349.95 | Amazon - $349.95 | Best Buy - $349.99 | Crutchfield - $349.95 View Deal

I use the Sennheiser HD 550 headphones almost every day now and have loved them ever since reviewing them earlier this year. They follow me across all
my platforms too, when I fancy, given their useful audio jack connection.
They certainly give the best wired gaming headsets a run for their money, can be made into a gaming headset by adding the HD 500 BAM microphone , and I couldn't recommend them more.
