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 can confirm Sennheiser has a winner here. So what are the negatives? First and foremost I no longer have to search for another pair of headphones. What will I spend my time on? Otherwise the annoyance of the included cable and the fact that the headphone connector is a 2.5 male end make for some frustration.

The HD560S has one of the best FR/tonality that I have heard in over ear headphones. It has better bass extension than the HD600, but has a bit of an upper mid and lower treble emphasis. If that wasnt there it would basically be near perfect. At $150, this can be your entry and exit point into the audiophile headphone game. I have had much more expensive gear and liked this (and the HD600) more. Things like the Focal Clear, HiFiMan Sundara, Ananda, among others. Just buy it.

Headphones was great. Sound was awesome. Too bad it’s not really that comfortable like what people are saying. It has a really tight clamping force. I gave it a week to break in but nothing really changed. The build is plastic so I doubt that the clamp force will get better. If it was a metal headband I would’ve just bend it a little. I did try bending it but like I said, it was plastic. Plastic does bend but it goes back to its original form. I wish it has a 58x headband.

Ive tried these a while back before buying them and I am still baffled about how good these are for the price.

These are excellent headphones. The sound is pristine. The cups fit very comfortably over your ears. The noise cancellation is spot-on. And its great that theres an adaptor for the cord, so that you can plug these beauties into your home stereo but also your phone. Sennheiser is a reliable outlet for quality headphones, and this pair is a prime example of that.

Headphone is comfortable for extended hour of use.

I use them mainly for listening to music and playing games (Overwatch, smite, CSGO, etc.). And for ~$150, these are unbelievable. The details that you can hear all throughout the mid range, combined with the smooth and clear treble. Its extremely easy to distinguish different instruments, especially with dual guitar leads where with most headphones, the sound gets mushed together.

If you want great quality with fair cost, that’s the way to go! I am just listening to all my loved music all over again and again!

They were incredibly popular on a specific site, and I thought that Id get the best sub-$200 headphones if I bought these.

Some comments here are way too serious, and I am just a normal person who wanted a normal comment before buying this. So I am writing this for you average customers.
