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)

Well-made headphones with decent sound quality. The material used to cover the ears is very comfortable and soft and unlike leather does not make me warm or hot.

A little background on my experiences with studio headphones in general: Ive really struggled to find a good pair over the years that accomplished exactly what I was looking for and gave me a good way to monitor mixes when I dont have access to full studio monitors (which is, most of the time.) Ive tried both closed-backed and open-backed variants of reference headphones and had mixed results with pretty much every one of them. These however, I havent found a single issue with in terms of sound and results. Theyre extremely natural to my ears, and are very crisp and clear. To me, they dont have this huge, binaural-eseque soundstage to them compared to some other open-backed sets Ive tried, but their openness does lend to everything sounding more clear and separate compared to the closed sets Ive used, for sure. And Id venture to say they are the most comfortable variant of open back sets Ive worn as well. Ever since I purchased these Ive noticed subtle mixing choice differences I have made in recent projects that have really elevated how consistent my tracks sound on various devices, in my experience - if I can get something to sound good on these, theyll sound great on everything else I try, and phenomenal on my listening sets of choice! I wouldnt say these offer anything spicy in terms of sound, or lean at all in the fun side of things. But for analytical use? These rock.

These headphones are almost as neutral as youll get, with excellent soundstage and instrument separation. I was using a beat up pair of Beats before and oh my god these are a major upgrade. Very comfy, I almost forget the headband is even there.

I rarely write reviews for products but I would be doing a disservice for those contemplating buying these. The build quality is ok, nothing to write home about, the headphones are really tight on the jaws for the first 3 hours but get very comfortable after give or take 6 hours. Now about the sound, the sub-bass extension on these in my opinion is excellent gets really down low WHEN its needed, the mid-bass and upper bass might be lacking for bass heads but I found it quite suitable for my tastes. The midrange and the treble are also great had no problems with them, they are forward but not shouty or sibilant, quite smooth actually. The instrument separation and detail are very good which also compliments the phenomenal imaging and is better than average soundstage. Also, these headphones dont require much to drive them but you would not get the best volume with a laptop or phone source, an amp is reccomended.

They sound good but not amazing. Build quality and comfort leaves a lot to be desired.

Noise cancellation is good. This headphone is little bit heavy for me, otherwise other features are good like long audio cable and plugs.

I normally dont write reviews for things I buy but this one deserves a mention. I was debating between getting these or the slightly more expensive, higher-end Sennheisers to use for my Scarlett 2i2 and boy Im glad I went with the less expensive option. I own a pair of HD 4.40s and I never really liked using them on my PC due to them getting uncomfortable during long gaming sessions, but once I tried my 560s I could go 3 hrs straight and not feel any head chaffing. These for me (small head) are insanely comfortable even during long wear sessions and the padding makes a huge difference (cloth > leather). Sound-wise I normally prefer having a heavier base but overall for PC use I just like the fact I can crank my music up and not blow out my ears using in-ear headphones. I havent tried listening to higher quality files like FLAC but even just listening to MP3 files I can hear the difference between using my 560s vs my Bluetooth headphones (Galaxy Buds). I have yet to really play around with using them together with my Scarlett but overall a great pair of headphones you should pick up when the price drops down.

Perfecto para mezclar y para escuchar música de manera fiel. Recomiendo compren un cable más cómodo para usar con jack 3.5. ya que la entrada de los audífonos es 2.5 balanceada de sennheiser.

My Sennheiser HD 600 was broken, so I purchased this one as a replacement. The sound is super clear, and the build quality is awesome. Definitely will recommend to people who listen to music or have zoom meetings.

I tried the typical Sony and Bose BT head phones and they were pretty good but just seemed something was missing. Listened to these at Best Buy and was impressed. They are a high Impedance at 120 ohms. Ordered on Amazon since BB didnt have any in stock. My LG V60 has a built in amp/quad dac that makes these headphones sing. Not sure how it would fair with a non dac phone. But you might have to buy one of those USB Dacs. But if you have the right setup, these are really high end. I mean it makes the Bose blow in a big way. Its not even close. There is no wireless option that can match these. Forget those that say BT has finally caught up and delivers audiophile sound. This just makes those sound very low resolution and highly compressed. Not even close.
