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 returned these immediately. I cant believe Sennheiser would manufacture headphones with such a muffled, muddy sound, but the pair I received sounded like the music was coming from behind a wall with an indistinct soundstage.

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.

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

its like only maybe 25% better than ksc75 which are like $20. but diminishing returns are the name of the game and these are probably the only reasonable upgrade before you break your wallet. listening to my playlists, a few songs become amazing and sound like a whole new experience while others are noticeably worse and most are just slightly better. use these for those songs that work with this headphone

Excelente producto, suena super flat y para mi caso es justo lo que buscaba. A tener en cuenta es que el volumen por la impedancia no es tan alto y los materiales de construccion son plasticosos, entendible pues evidentemente la mayor inversion la hicieron en los drivers lo cual en general es preferible y el cable que a mi gusto es excelente pues es muy largo, para algunos puede ser algo molesto. Recomendable al 100.

I have some IEMs and couple of Headphones, but its the first open-backs I bought. Wanted some spacious sound, that everyone was talking about when mentioning open-backs. Got good detail, good tuning and almost perfect comfort, despite cheap materials. But not so spacious sound that was expected. Overall - good heaphones.

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.

These headphones deliver! Crisp, clear sound, comfortable, decent cord length, and compatible with my system. Much more reasonably priced than other headsets. No regrets at all and would by again without second thought.

For reference: about me

They are great for gaming and music creation but a little harsh on the treble for casual listening
