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)

This is a well balanced headphone for both audiophiles and general listens. Its not super analytical but generally has a flat sound profile with no artificial factory default equalizing. Bass is not bad either, its not in your face bass but a smooth and comfortable experience.

These headphones are almost like over-ear monitors with how well they reproduce sound. For a fraction of the cost of higher-grade headphones, they reproduce sounds quite well with great articulation across the entire audible spectrum. Yes, even as low as 20Hz frequencies, if you listen closely you can hear them, not loudly, but they are audible. What this means is that these headphones wont give you thundering, distorted bass response when listening to all kinds of music. After owning them for nearly 2 years I can safely say that they are my favorite pair of headphones and I will be sad when they eventually give up the ghost. They fit great on my head with the adjustable headband and the soft ear cups mean I can wear them all day, even with glasses on. But after nearly 2 years, some weaknesses are starting to show, mainly that the soft foam on the headband has ever so slightly started to detach and the adhesive has grabbed a few hairs making them a bit painful to take off my head.

Similar to others you may be reading the reviews of these headphones because they are nearing universal acclaim due to the price:performance. There is unlikely to be a better option that has the consistency and reputation that Sennheiser offers.

I bought these both for listening to music and for mixing. I have a pretty high-end stereo system with a tube DAC and Magneplanars so I am used to a very clean, detailed and musical sound. I was worried these headphones might be overly analytical and therefore not particularly musical. To my ears they certainly sound analytical but musical as well. Naturally it depends on the source material. Sure they wont make vocals slap you in the face the way the maggies do but they still sound every bit as musical. I hear far more detail and find things in tracks i have listened to for decades that I never realized were there.

Very disappointing. The HD 560 S headphones are very comfortable but the sound is surprisingly poor, very dull/muted and NOT a natural frequency response as claimed. Especially for the price.

They sound like high quality studio monitors steadied into your head, the perfect sound Imo

For reference: about me

I bought these headphones after watching positive reviews on YouTube. In fact, the headphones are so-so .. The sound is simple .... and most importantly, very quiet. Its just that you cant connect to a computer ... Almost nothing is heard ... Ambashura are harsh. They do not fit snugly ... And the headband is not very comfortable .. Maybe Im wrong, but in my opinion they are not worth this very reasonable price either.

El único punto negativo que le puedo poner es que por 250 dólares hay otras muy buenas opciones a considerar y de todas éste tiene los peores materiales, no son malos pero son los peores en el precio.

At the time I bought this headphones for roughly $150, its a great model for distinct sound quality and build quality as well.
