About the HiFiMAN HE-560
Lose yourself
HiFiMAN headphones dazzled us the first time we heard them. So our expectations were high for their HE-560. They did not disappoint. Their inviting sound is warm and wide-open — just what we look for in a planar magnetic design like the '560. If you want to dive deep into the details of your music collection, these headphones will take you into every nook and cranny with their revealing sound. They'll also open up the dynamics of your tunes in a way that really brings them to life. It's easy to lose yourself in your musical explorations with the HE-560 — they're so lightweight and comfortable, you may lose track of time as you get caught up in their truly excellent sound.
The HE-560 offers spacious, detailed sound in a lightweight, comfortable design.
Warm, balanced sound
HiFiMAN has quickly distinguished themselves in audio circles with their planar magnetic drivers. While most headphones rely on dynamic drivers like the ones found in loudspeakers, the HE-560's planar magnetic drivers offer some cool advantages. Because the drivers cover a larger surface area, they're able to deliver striking detail and spaciousness. HiFiMAN's planar drivers are also known for their warmth, which gives your music a pleasant smoothness. The '560s offer outstanding detail, excellent tonal balance, and a wonderfully smooth sound that will keep you listening for extended periods. You'll want to run through your entire music collection to hear how it all sounds with these impressive headphones.
Getting the look and feel just right
As good as the '560 headphones sound, their physical attributes will add a lot to your listening enjoyment. These headphones are quite stunning and extremely lightweight for a planar design. HiFiMAN completely reimagined these headphones to look good and feel good, without sacrificing the slightest bit of sound quality. The earcups are made of teak wood — it's durable, lightweight, and adds a touch of elegance to these headphones. The earpads mix leather and velour for a luxurious fit, while the unique adjustable headband is both practical and attractive.
Unlock their true potential
Don't even think about plugging the HE-560s directly into a smartphone. Portable devices just don't have the power to do these headphones justice. You'll need a dedicated headphone amplifier to make them sound their best. While most amps will be sufficient, more powerful amps will really help these headphones sing.

Features
Overview: The HiFiMAN HE-560 over-ear headphones feature high-performance planar magnetic drivers that provide a warm, pleasant sound signature. The HE-560 comes with a detachable 6.5' cable with a straight 1/4" plug. The headphones store in the supplied wooden box with a sliding lid.
Design: The HE-560 headphones, at 13.3 ounces, are much lighter than comparable planar magnetic headphones. The large diameter ear cups feature soft "pleather" and velour pads, and fit comfortably around your ears. The 2-3/4" wide headband sits lightly on your head.
6.5' Cable: The supplied 6.5' cable has screw terminals at each ear cup to ensure a secure connection. The screw connectors use separate ground leads for each channel to greatly reduce crosstalk between the channels. The cable terminates into a straight 1/4" plug for use with most headphone amplifier and home audio components.
