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)

Purchased to go with a hyperx quadcast. With the included adaptor I can run the wire along the mic boom with wire to spare and they sound perfect. And they have just enough bass. Not goofy and not like a pure mid monitor headphone. Just enough. Super comfy afwell.

I did this pair of cans with the suggested DAC/AMP the cheaper FiiO E10K ($80). While it powered it, it sounded weak or less-filled and anemic even in my opinion. The FiiO E10K sound Better with my 32 Ohms Samsung SR850 ($40). So Im returning this DAC/AMP now that Ive just connected these 560s Sennheisers to the FiiO K5 ($150). Its a shame that you have to go for more power to power these 120 Ohms, but having given it more power, I now see WHY the reviewers (some of them experts) of these phones are so impressed. Ive seen a 60+ year old pro praise these 560s ($200) with naming the Sundaras ($350) as being the only one better. I can see now that he had more power going into these to be able to say that no other phones are better except Sundaras, however the Sundaras are HIFIMANs and HIFIMANs generally have QC issues I see. So just to have slightly better phones would you go with HIFIMAN or Germanys (though made in Chinas) Sennheisers? This made me happy with my purchase of these, my first endeavor into studio reference phones (besides the Samsons Ive used for 2 years). I will put the Samsons through this K5 just to see the difference there too. The Samson while cheap, and not as accurate or not with the best imaging (so more cluttered in awareness), are still excellent for the price for music with their more protruding bass (compared to the 560s). The 560s are just CLEAN period, now that I got the K5 driving it. The treble no longer pierces my ears with the K5 as it did with the E10K. Its unbearable when underpowered, now its not so much like chalkboard being scratched.

Elderly relative is able to listen at 80 (sometimes 90) without driving everyone else out of the house. Relative said “these are really good!”

Since spinning vinyl and trying wireless through Bose. Nothing compares to using these wired headphones. Great sound. As yoursoundmatters states and the main reason I purchased The HD 560S is tailored for audiophiles, with an open-back design for natural, expansive sound. The bass response is fast and crystal clear, while the treble has plenty of crisp clarity—hands down, some of the most honest sounding headphones in their class.

Very comfortable headphones with great quality sound. Great for extended wear time and very crisp sound for an affordable price.

These have to be the most comfortable pair of cans i’ve owned, virtually disappears from my head when adjusted right and no issues on wearing this for hours at a time.

Ive had a set of HD600 for about 20 years now.. replaced the cable twice and few pads.. all typical wear items..

Really nice quality plastic. Feels firm. At first, the headphones may feel tight but dont forget to adjust the length and let the soft pads cut your ears. Really comfortable. I can wear them to listen to music, watch movies, and play games all day.

Worth the money great buy. Never go back to noise canceling headphones. Amazing sound quality

These headphones sound great. They come to life when played through an amplifier. They are comfortable. Aesthetically theyre cheap but they make up for it in sound quality. For the price they are well worth it.
