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)

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.

This thing sounds amazing - the detail on these cans is unparalleled at this price point. They are extremely neutral as well, but I did not find it too fatiguing although some tracks did sound worse. This is because the HD560s does a good job of revealing bad mixes, but also making good ones shine. Perfect for me as a producer. Unfortunately, the right ear had a little buzzing when playing low-end, so I ended up returning the headphones - most definitely a quality control issue which I didnt expect from Sennheiser, but Ill give them a pass this time. Will be looking to purchase them again in the very near future.

The excellent sound quality of the Sennheiser HD 560S headphones is just what Ive wanted for listening to music. They provide a wide sound stage; balanced, neutral sound quality with good, tight base; and lively, lifelike musical reproduction without fatiguing my ears. Overall they cannot be beat for their price range, and are also very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. (Though I did subtract one star for comfort because they do clamp my head a little too firmly around my glasses stems behind my ears; however, for just music listening without my glasses on, this has not been a problem). They also perform well when watching movies or Netflix series, though my close-backed Audio-Technica ATH-M50x headphones do present deeper, more authoritative base (which can be truly impressive in certain scenes). However, the M50x headphones are not as open and natural sounding. They also do not provide as much open space around the ears and the padding on the M50x ear cups and headband is not as comfortable for longer viewing/listening sessions. It should be noted that the Sennheiser HD 560S headphones are corded without any noise cancellation feature. Because they are open-backed headphones, surrounding sounds can be audible to the listener. This is not as issue for me since I use them in a quiet environment.

I actually don’t like wearing headphones but needed this for music and games at night time. I have my receiver that’s hooked up to my tv and pc power them but if you don’t have that. You’ll probably need some kind of headphone amp if you want the full power. I’ve cranked these things up so loud that they hurt my ears before they distort. I could not get them to distort. Also for someone who does not like wearing headphones. These are very comfortable for wearing hours at a time.

Product info calls out 6.3 to 3.5 mm adapter with 3 meter cable.

I use these for my PC and my phone they are great headphones sound a little better with a amplifier but you dont need one. Super light weight but not in a cheap way if that makes sense. They sound amazing compared to my other cheap headphones the soundstage sounds amazing much more fuller. Would recommend these to anyone wanting to get I to good audio gear.

These are an amazing pair of headphones, and I have been using them exclusively for everything from gaming, to movie watching, to music listening, and more. The sound quality is great and the open back design adds so much more sound stage.

Very comfortable to wear. Decent bass compared to HD555. The 120 Ohm impedance is OK for phones or tablets.

Smooth neutral sound - great for missing and listening - great price. Love it

Don’t bother researching headphones.
