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)

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

In brief:

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!

These are good. A solid choice for music or internet surfing. I went with the Sennheiser HD560 because I wanted an old school, wired headphone to listen to music with. They sound great, have a 9 cord with 2 adapters and are very comfortable. If you want to hook up multiple devices and move around while listening these arent for you. If you want to plug in with a quality sound, these work well. Btw, I am an audio/video professional with 35 years of post production experience and have a decent ear.

Coming from the Sundara.. these sound a bit thin to me.. I guess because of it flat sounding signature.. but yeah this one is not for me.. I returned it. Though I think these will hold up longer than Sundara will..

I bought these headphones after watching positive reviews on YouTube. In fact, the headphones are so-so .. The sound is simple .... and most importantly, very quiet. Its just that you cant connect to a computer ... Almost nothing is heard ... Ambashura are harsh. They do not fit snugly ... And the headband is not very comfortable .. Maybe Im wrong, but in my opinion they are not worth this very reasonable price either.

exactly what I expected for my first open-back headphones

I love my purchase of these cans, the sound stage is incredibly open. I use them mainly for gaming and watching movies. Both of which they are more than up for. Hearing footsteps and positioning where sound it coming from has never been easier. I cant say enough good about them and Ive been using them for 2 months. They are pricey if your used to looking at the less expensive stuff, but for how comfortable they are and how precise the sound is that they reproduce, the cans are more than worth it IMO.

Purchased to go with a hyperx quadcast. With the included adaptor I can run the wire along the mic boom with wire to spare and they sound perfect. And they have just enough bass. Not goofy and not like a pure mid monitor headphone. Just enough. Super comfy afwell.

I Use these mainly for gaming and not music and they are really good for telling which direction and how far away someone is, very big soundstage and really good imaging. only downside for gaming is that its open back so you hear everything in the room, but open backs are just how you get the big soundstage
