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)

These are my first open back headphones, they were an upgrade from some cheap tascams. I do music production as a hobby and i game so I wanted headphones that would do both, i run these through a behringer umc404hd interface and it drives them well. These are very detailed sounding headphones, the high frequencies are a bit sharp coming from closed back headphones but you get used to it, especially because you dont need loud volumes to hear details in all ranges, bass is definitely subtle, but punchy and sub bass has a nice range, its not like youll notice its there but youll notice if it isnt, depends on the song. Soundstage is hard to explain, coming from open back and in ear headphones and earbuds I always like the inside your head sound and coming in to these I was expecting a kind of out of head experience, which it can be, depending on the sound design, but for most songs, although there is a difference its not groundbreaking, people will mosly no notice. The bleedthrough is not bad and since i use these while gaming, my friends havent complained about sound coming out of these, but then again i have a dynamic mic, also you wont hear your surroundings that well, i can barely hear someone coming into my room, so if you wanted more spacial awareness these wont really help. Now the one thing I struggle with is the comfort, its not like these are uncomfortable but theyre pretty tight out of the box, theyre a bit on the heavier side of light and being used to on ear headphones having nothing touching my earlobes but my temples being pressed is a weird feeling, also the earcups are elongated so i feel the edges pressing against my jaw. The headband is very fluffy, so you wont feel it at first, but it is narrow so if you dont position it well it hurts after a while, in general these headphones dont seem to find their place on my head, probably is my head shape but most headphones you put on just tend to grab your head a certain way and then you forget about them, whereas these take some extra adjusting constantly, which keeps reminding me i have headphones on, and that takes away from the experience of the great sound, i cant get imersed as easily. The great sound makes up for a slighly uncomfortable headset, ive only had them for two weeks so im expecting them to keep breaking in, also the cable is way too long, senheiser should sell shorter cables as this is replaceable but i havent found a good replacement.

The headphones are nice enough to wear, lighter than my X2HRs and leagues more comfortable than the HD598.

Brilliant and balanced sound. Very light and comfortable. Convenient long wire. Flexible high-quality 1/4 inch to 3.5mm plug converter.

I needed a replacement for a pair of Fidelio X2Hr that the swivel on the driver broke. Since these had great reviews on Amazon, I thought I would replace the Philips with these.

exactly what I expected for my first open-back headphones

These headphones are worth the money. The sound quality is excellent. I like to hear every instrument when listening to music right down to the tinkling of a triangle. The frequencies are well balance to achieve just that. Also, I love that the cable can be removed or, if needed, replaced. This comes in handy as I have a few sets that I no longer use because one of the cable wires broke leaving me with either a left or right channel to listen. So, rather than replacing the headphones, now I can just replace the cable. Great headphones!

Plugged into my instrument right away, feels way much better than my Shure closed-back headphones. Super light and comfortable.

Sounds great! Huge upgrade in sound quality over my Bose QC25 headphones. I was concerned whether high impedance (120 ohms) headphones would require a headphone amp. But these get plenty loud enough on my PC and android phone. I ended up buying a shorter 3.5mm cable for convenience.
