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)

Short and sweet: These headphones are wonderful for their sound design. I was so happy when I first tried them out that I was able to revisit old songs and have new life breathed into them. As of now, however, after less than two months one side of them have stopped working entirely. There was no show of damage and I was so gentle with these because of their light make I figured I could make these stretch two years. But the window for any returns or exchanges has closed so I am simply out of luck. Please get the warranty with your purchase or face the same unfortunate conclusion I have.

bought these headphones on the first of December they were alright for about 2 months and the right ear cup stopped working. The headphones itself get really hot because of the cloth earcup. The sound quality is sub par compared to many other headphones. They sound like any other headphone definitely not Sennheiser quality. Would recommend buying a older pair maybe used. Headphone stopped working a week after the return window.

I bought this item for my husband. He loves it. Perfect sound quality.

This headphones are the best 200 dollars, the sound is amazing, the stereo field is fantastic, and details are poring out.

I bought these to replace a set of K712s. The 712s are known to have a huge sound stage for gaming, but in my experience the 560s is even better and has more accurate positional audio and clearer imaging. For example when playing FPS games I can hear people running around in rooms above me, whereas with the K712 it sounded like those footsteps were coming from non-distinct locations in the same room. Music sounds good as well, vocals seem a little clearer than the K712 and there is slightly more bass.

I guess that you could call me a cheap audiophile. My previous favorite was the Hifiman HE-400i. These sound more tight and accurate. The 400is have more bass presence, but I think it is trampling the mids a bit. These (560s) sound more balanced. I never once thought that the bass on these was lacking. It has great extension.

I was very surprised at how light the headset is. I like the clamping force. I can wear it with the top fully extended so it wont give me a dent in my hair on the top of my head or I can wear it normal and it feels nice either way. Nothing amazing with bass or anything, but I have zero complaints with the sound. Paired with a Rodecaster Pro. Very happy with it and would buy it again if it broke. Had it a few months now.

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...

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.

I am not a audiophile person since Ive only ever had the HyperX Cloud 2 before this, but for a price of 150-170$ when on sale, Id say this would be a really really good pick up, even 200 is still a good price for what it does, if your a average person that just plays games and listens to pop or rap music, these make a very good headphone as it sounds great, these arent great on the low end of the volume though, if for some reason you like to quiet songs or whatever, this isnt the headphones for you. Things you would like to listen to on these headphones would be any sounds in games, listening to music especially 8d+ as they are very great at depicting imagining as their reference headphones, and lastly the comfort is great! The first day I got them they werent stiff or clamping on your ears at all (in my opinion) they were really light too and the earcups are probably big enough to fit all ear sizes with great comfort.
