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)

The 560s provide a really good sound for the price. For open-back headphones, they have a surprising sub-bass frequency extension. Mids are snappy and highs are great, albeit maybe a bit boosted for some tastes. For this reason, they would be fantastic for gaming as that mid range footstep frequency sound is accentuated. For music, they definitely suit Hip-Hop and EDM. Of course, Metal, Rock, and Jazz all sound great as well. The headphones have good spatial imaging though not on the level of something like the Hifiman Sundaras. I`d say I prefer these over the HD600s. Though I haven`t compared to the HD660s.

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.

Excellent sound. Great resolution and soundstage. Also have very good bass when EQed. They have a little bit of clamp right above the ear, but you can just use the box to break them in. Takes about 72 hrs.

It does feel a little cheap with the plastic. But the sound quality blows away and turtle Beach, hyperx, ASTRO, etc gaming headset I have tried. Use with voicemetter for a little added bass enhancement make it perfect! Without going for the higher priced models sacrifice the more sturdy build and get a lightweight great sounding headset

Sounds just as good as my 2 year old Sennheiser HD Headphones, but its literally half the size of the old one making this thing feel cheap and tight around the ears. Like have 2 plastic cups pressed hard on the sides of your head.

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

Bought this for gaming and I am very happy with my purchase.

Interesting headphones. First, the dislikes, which are my opinions and may be different for physical head shape and music type. Clamping force when new is a little tigher than I like, but like my HD 650 should be fine with a few months of use. I wish they had a different cable design as I dont like the single 2.5mm TRRS on the left ear. The ear openings are long and a bit narrow for my ears. So long that I there is a gap where I can slide my finger up from the bottom and touch my earlobes without contacting the pads. I consider my ear size and shape to be average and dont have this problem with the HD 650. Now for the likes: Soundstage seems a bit wider and more defined instrument location than the 650. Bass is not bad. Fairly tight and defined, but never what I would consider heavy. Better for the Jazz, Fusion, and Rock that I enjoy, but may not be good for electronic and HipHop and Rap. Mids are well balanced and just a bit forward, and treble is clean and detialed without harshness or sibilance. Overall well balanced and smooth with no surprises. Exceptional value if they hold up as well as the HD 650 has. The supplied cable is on the plus side of 9 feet long. I wish that they included a shorter one for mobile listening.

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!
