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)

i ended up returning this and my refund is taking a while @ups return

The clamping force was tight, real tight, BUT!. I have a huge head, Im talking 3x hat territory. and after storing it stretched over the box it came in when not in use for 2-3 nights it now fits very comfortably. 8-12 hours of use per day has been very pleasant. My primary use is for Gaming and the sound, footsteps and directional awareness is great. for movies and music, the sound and sound stage can not be beaten. I have nothing but good things to say about HD 560 S

The sound reproduction exceeded my expectations, I love listening to music with these headphones...especially high resolution SACDs and Blu-ray audio. Excellent balance and clarity with deep (but not hyped) bass, articulate midrange and extended, airy treble - really impressive for a dynamic driver headphone. The cable is lengthy but its thin and feels substandard. The build quality is solid, but its mostly plastic and its comfortable on my head of hours at a time, a real bargain on sale for $160.

I Use these mainly for gaming and not music and they are really good for telling which direction and how far away someone is, very big soundstage and really good imaging. only downside for gaming is that its open back so you hear everything in the room, but open backs are just how you get the big soundstage

These headphones are almost perfect in everyway. Bass can be boosted in equalizer if it is too weak for you but thats normal for Sennheisers. These headphones are superior to the GameOne, GSP 500/600 and PC38x. All of which Ive previously owned and used. These can work amazing for gaming or music, I recommend making an equalizer preset for each occasion. Oratory1990 has hd560S equalizer filter settings you can easily look up and apply to your own parametric equalizer. The only flaw with these headphones is a harshness in the 4-6 khz region that can easily fixed using Oratory1990s settings.

Muy buenos…. Necesitas una buena fuente, con una suscripción que ofrezca hi - res y un dac externo. La amplificación si es fácil de conseguir, en esa no deben preocuparse mucho

Not what many reviewers claim.... Very mislead. Sound quality is very harsh with mid highs. Yes flat as claimed and what Im looking for but with harsh mid highs it negatively impacts any expectations of using them for Sound engineering. And the build quality? Horrible!!! Cheap old jvc Walgreens quality build. Unbearable.... truly disappointed after all the hype!!!

For the five years of my PC gaming history(yes I played XBOX and PS before then.), I have had razor products because the people who helped get me into pc always recommended me razor. after 3 headsets, two keyboards, I felt it was time for a change. For starters, I am not an audiophile. However, playing games like Escape from Tarkov, Rainbow Six, I knew it was time for a quality headset that would allow me to succeed in games were sound was the upmost importance. So I set out to do some research into headsets that were of premium quality. Yes, to me these headsets are premium, even thought I know that that there are thousand dollar headsets that would blow these out of the water.

You really cannot ask for a better product at this price. I love planar and I love base but sometimes I love to have a pair of headphone that is clean at treble and lightweight for long term. The dynamic range of this headphone is easy to tell. However if you like V shape headphone or bassy headphone this may not be the headphone you are looking for. I am not expert of sound design or can hear from 20-18khz but what I can tell you from my experience is that it cannot deliver this thickness in all ranges (base mid and highs) like 2 same instrument playing with the same pitch and tone. I have LCD2 and westone w60 iem. They deliver that thickness. Maybe due to the drivers design? I am not sure. But Westone W60 is terrible at sound stage for its price and not that good with where the sound is coming from (virtually). Overal I love 560S and I have been using it since I got them for gaming and music mainly. Occasionally ASMR...
