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)

It feels like for the first time I am listening to music as the artist intended. The value of these headphones certainly surpasses the price tag as far as sound quality is concerned.

Perfect analytical and neutral pair of cans. I enjoyed using these particularly for competitive gaming along with general media consumption. The sound is clear and crisp, the soundstage is wide enough and overall its one of the best for the price. I would say the clamping force for me was a little too tight but luckily it gets a little looser over time. Still dont hesitate to try these out!

These are really nice headphones and the sound quality is outstanding. I have a large head and they sit a little tighter than my much-used HD518s. This will get better with time as the plastic expands and can be stretched a little. Like the 518s, the cord is removable and it locks into place. Just a slight turn to the left will unlock it. It comes standard with a regular large phono jack and 3.5mm adapter. I may invest in a few extra cords so I can use the set on multiple devices. Overall, Im very pleased with the value and quality.

Amazing headphone to listen to

I was very surprised at how light the headset is. I like the clamping force. I can wear it with the top fully extended so it wont give me a dent in my hair on the top of my head or I can wear it normal and it feels nice either way. Nothing amazing with bass or anything, but I have zero complaints with the sound. Paired with a Rodecaster Pro. Very happy with it and would buy it again if it broke. Had it a few months now.

Don’t bother researching headphones.

The sound is pretty good but not great by no means and the material is super cheap also the mechanics inside the headband are janky to say the least. I recommend spending a few more dollars on something actually comfortable and you can adjust without feeling like throwing these at the wall.

Id recommend pairing these with an amp. Its not required, as these are not difficult to drive, but you will get more out of these headphones. Theyre still wonderful without an amp / external dac. So if you can only afford the headphones, you can always upgrade by purchasing an amp + external dac later down the road.

I’ve had IEMs and closed back headphones until now. Really enjoying the sound of these. Revisiting a lot of music in my library with these and I’m happy with the results.

Having been an HD650 snob for a while now, deep down I was convinced I wouldnt like these. I have an A&K SR25 running into a Bottlehead that Ive been tube rolling. The 1st time listening to these I wasnt blown away. Going back to the 650s is home. What Im used to. Tonight I started with the 650s then switched, and Im much more impressed now. Comfortable, airy, very accurate, neutral across the spectrum, and a large sound stage. A definite bargain at $200. Im glad to have another option & happy I dont have to return them. Cant wait to use them in the studio.
