Sennheiser HD 560 S Over-The-Ear Audiophile Headphones - Neutral Frequency Response, E.A.R. Technology for Wide Sound Field, Open-Back Earcups, Detachable Cable, (Black) (HD 560S)

I purchased these to replace an older version that was starting to break down. While the sound quality is good and what you expect from a Sennheiser product, its important to know that these do not collapse and are not suitable for travel. Unfortunately, my window to replace has passed and Ill have to find something different to use for travel.

I am more of a laymen when it comes to headphones and sound quality but I can definitely say its pretty good. For every day things like gaming and listening to music these are quite nice.

The headphones are showing me new elements of songs Ive been listening to for years! My first headphones of this level and its mind blowing how immersing it is. Theyre so comfy and lightweight, too! I feel like I could wear em forever.

These are comfortable, detailed, but not painful (aka beyerdynamic, except the tygr 300R). For music these are superior to the Tygr 300r or pc38x. The Tygrs are very close, the pc38x is not. I prefer the pc38x in FPS games, theres such a thing as too detailed. The pc38x is very good at giving you what you need and not overwhelming you. These can sometimes give you too much information.

I use these for most fps games; csgo, valorant, fortnite, and they create a good soundstage and have good sound, even for music. Horrible noise cancellation but that is to be expected as these are open back headphones, be wary if you like to have your volume up as sound leaks a lot with these

Excellent sound. Great resolution and soundstage. Also have very good bass when EQed. They have a little bit of clamp right above the ear, but you can just use the box to break them in. Takes about 72 hrs.

The excellent sound quality of the Sennheiser HD 560S headphones is just what Ive wanted for listening to music. They provide a wide sound stage; balanced, neutral sound quality with good, tight base; and lively, lifelike musical reproduction without fatiguing my ears. Overall they cannot be beat for their price range, and are also very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. (Though I did subtract one star for comfort because they do clamp my head a little too firmly around my glasses stems behind my ears; however, for just music listening without my glasses on, this has not been a problem). They also perform well when watching movies or Netflix series, though my close-backed Audio-Technica ATH-M50x headphones do present deeper, more authoritative base (which can be truly impressive in certain scenes). However, the M50x headphones are not as open and natural sounding. They also do not provide as much open space around the ears and the padding on the M50x ear cups and headband is not as comfortable for longer viewing/listening sessions. It should be noted that the Sennheiser HD 560S headphones are corded without any noise cancellation feature. Because they are open-backed headphones, surrounding sounds can be audible to the listener. This is not as issue for me since I use them in a quiet environment.

Just got these and have been testing them on my laptop without and amplifier. These are easily the clearest headphones Ive listened with.

Great quality product has lasted me almost a year and still feels and sounds like brand new. Love it! Great job

Earbuds gave me a ton of ear pain. These eased that. Takes longer for less pain to come.
