Sennheiser does it again!

I am amazed at how lightweight and comfortable these headphones are. In addition, the sound is true. I bought these to use with a new DAC while listening to Apple's new spatial audio. They do not disappoint and you can't beat the price!

Very good sound and quite comfortable. Headphone amplifier is NOT necessary. Mini jack accessory is a nice feature. These sound great directly through the headphone jack in my hk3490 and Denon RCD- M41 without additional amplification.

Not the most comfortable ear cushions s, band is comfortable. Main plus is the sound, fantastic sounding, low to high volume levels, thru hi res, best I've heard at even twice the price. If sound quality is what your looking for you have to try these. Dont be fooled by price there top line

Why overrate these?

The headphones these replaced sounded better; when compared without an amplifier. Similar price-point. My old set was purchased through Crutchfield and has been dropped. Many on-line reviews state the same: needs an amplifier (at the desktop PC especially).

Stepping into Hi-Fi

This is my first pair of quality headphones. Before these, I used mostly gaming headphones or basic $20 pairs. I am extremely happy with these, and yes I also game with them. Disclaimer, I also bought an ifi Zen DAC v1. I can't really talk about these headphones on their own as I've only tested their combined use with the DAC. These headphones sound great! Music is no longer muffled, on both the low and high end. The amount of detail that comes out when compared to your basic gaming headset is huge! Both me and my GF tested these against her hyper x headphones and we could not believe the difference. It felt like we had never actually listened to music before. Not exaggerating, we heard new vocals and riffs in some of our favorite songs. Anyway, I'd also recommend the Zen DAC, as it is also an amplifier.

Very good

Great sound and quality for the price. They fit comfortably with felt like covers that don't make your ears sweat. The separation is good with bases that aren't overbearing. Best I've found in this price range.

Why overrate these?

Just received these today and compared them to my Grado SR225 headset which are probably ten years old by now. I have a decent home stereo, but I use headphones with my desktop computer and portable audio. The Grado SR225 se (similar pricepoint) sound better to me. While watching concert videos, I quickly noticed that the HD 560s set sound more remote from the band (even in studio). Audiophile reviews state that home computers and the Sennheiser HD 560s in particular benefit noticeably from a headphone amplifier. I will be receiving the Audioengine D1.

Have had these for a couple of week and have enjoyed them quite a bit. Light and comfortable but wear a little warm to me. Neutral sound profile as advertised, able to play them at high volumes without any particular frequency range getting to be too much. Good detail. My main listening is through a Peachtree Audio decco2 but these headphones sound pretty good plugged directly into my PC or tablet.

HD 560S - A great bargain for great sound.

I've owned several types of headphones - both for home use and for professional use in the recording studio. These Sennheiser headphones are very neutral - they just play music - without emphasis on any part of the music spectrum. I find them very comfortable to wear and with a smooth, yet detailed sound from top to bottom, they are a bargain. With the open back design they are very open with excellent imaging. Highly recommended.

Great headphones

This is a spectacular headphone. In my opinion they deliver an audio experience that you would expect from a pair of headphones with a much larger pricetag. I would certainly recommend anyone who has a love for music to check them out

A gem.

Significantly better than I had hoped for, not "good for the price", just flat-out good - period.

Whatca Hear is Watcha Get

I read as many professional reviews as possible. They all said these cans had an extremely flat response. They do. I use them to mix and master Rock music. I get much less ear fatigue because of the open back design. Less sound pressure on my ears. My mixes translate really well to speakers and ear buds. So if you are looking to listen to music as it actually sounds, without any frequency hype, these are for you.

Sennheiser HD 560S

This is my first "serious" set of Sennheiser headphones. First of all, they are extremely lightweight and comfortable, I can wear them for hours. Also, the cord is long enough to reach from my amp to my listening position, which is unusual. Out of the box, the sound struck me as a bit bass heavy and lacking some presence in the upper mid range. After 25 hours of burn in, they seem to be settling in, or perhaps I'm just getting used to them. I think I've grown accustomed to cheaper headphones that pump up the high end. I'm willing to give these more time for burn in and for the sound to grow on me. Overall, I'm very satisfied.

I am an expert, but it gives clear and flat sound. It is really good on the high vocal sound in my opinion. The bass sound is not strong, so you may need an AMP or DAC, like Hip DAC. Overall, I love this headphone.

I also own the HD6xx,(HD650), and the HD560s complements its older sibling. The 6xx is more resolving of detail than the 560s and is a more relaxing listen. It also seems to be built better as the headband is metal. Both are equally comfortable with the 6xx having thicker but narrower pads. The 560s improves upon the 6xx's greatest fault, a narrow, almost congested soundstage. The newer model has a wider, more natural sound and is quite clear and resolving. The treble is more noticeable as well.

Sennheiser HD 560S

Pandemic continues....WFH. Been working from my home office/studio alone for months. My partner finally got her laptop setup from work and now we coexist. Headphones now required in Zoom world. She confiscated my Bluetooth Bose QuiteComfort 35 II noise canceling headphones. I opted for the wired HD 560S based on recommendations on-line, reviews from Crutchfield and others for sonic quality and "best for price" open design. In my view, the HD 560s are not as comfortable as the Bose, ear pads are rougher and set fits tighter, after extended use and pads warn-up. The Bose are smoother sonically overall, but the Sennheiser have deeper bass- they will play loud without effort.

Sennheiser HD 560S

I was looking for a more open, transparent sound -it's certainly more open sounding than my B&W P7's .. HD560S has nice highs, voicing and lows work fine (P7's have a more solid bottom) what I'm looking for is a Magnapan speaker type transparency in instruments and voicing what bothers me about the Sennheisers is the background noise I hear -I guess thats a drawback of this open backed headphone design -like when the TVs on, maybe if someone is watching TV , they even turn up the volume so they don't hear the headphones, distracting the lonng cord is unnecessary for me and shorter ones are not easy to find .. just got a Schiit DAC maybe this "cleaning up" will give me better clarity/transparency w/the headphones and speakers Stereo : Mcintosh system w/C28, Mc2505 & Ml-1C speakers all in all a good system, not great ..

Feels sturdy and comfortable. Clamp pressure will decrease over time. Wire is super long, and the sound when plugged into a JDS Labs Atom hooked up to a Schitt Modi DAC make these headphones sing a neutral sound. It's wide and spacious and allows you to hear all the music as it was supposed to be heard.
