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)

I was told that these headphones were better than the Beats by Dre brand, but this was not the case. They lack the rich, deep and powerful sound quality to which I’ve been accustomed to, ever since using Beats. Duel equalizers couldn’t even save these headphones; they’re just weak. Noise cancellation is nonexistent.

Good sound, clear, good for games ( positionals) , Downsides: Clamp force is noticable for the first week or so ( gets better), the Cable IMO is too long

Wow! I love them. The bass is well balanced, detailed and extends very low. Mids/vocals are a bit forward just like I like. Treble is nice and detailed not harsh or sibilant to me. Excellent imaging and detail . Sound stage is good to.

Get a bigger pair of cans

Im absolutely in love with these headphones. Im not usually one with a fine enough pallet to notice the higher end of products to a reasonable enough degree to condone them. These made a literal world of difference. I work in IT and then game as my primary hobby, so I spend a lot of time with headphones and the sounds coming out of them. These are amazing when it comes to general music use, I never thought it would make that much of a difference, but it does and unfortunately, I dont have the vocabulary to explain it here in a more technical sense.

These are my first open back headphones, they were an upgrade from some cheap tascams. I do music production as a hobby and i game so I wanted headphones that would do both, i run these through a behringer umc404hd interface and it drives them well. These are very detailed sounding headphones, the high frequencies are a bit sharp coming from closed back headphones but you get used to it, especially because you dont need loud volumes to hear details in all ranges, bass is definitely subtle, but punchy and sub bass has a nice range, its not like youll notice its there but youll notice if it isnt, depends on the song. Soundstage is hard to explain, coming from open back and in ear headphones and earbuds I always like the inside your head sound and coming in to these I was expecting a kind of out of head experience, which it can be, depending on the sound design, but for most songs, although there is a difference its not groundbreaking, people will mosly no notice. The bleedthrough is not bad and since i use these while gaming, my friends havent complained about sound coming out of these, but then again i have a dynamic mic, also you wont hear your surroundings that well, i can barely hear someone coming into my room, so if you wanted more spacial awareness these wont really help. Now the one thing I struggle with is the comfort, its not like these are uncomfortable but theyre pretty tight out of the box, theyre a bit on the heavier side of light and being used to on ear headphones having nothing touching my earlobes but my temples being pressed is a weird feeling, also the earcups are elongated so i feel the edges pressing against my jaw. The headband is very fluffy, so you wont feel it at first, but it is narrow so if you dont position it well it hurts after a while, in general these headphones dont seem to find their place on my head, probably is my head shape but most headphones you put on just tend to grab your head a certain way and then you forget about them, whereas these take some extra adjusting constantly, which keeps reminding me i have headphones on, and that takes away from the experience of the great sound, i cant get imersed as easily. The great sound makes up for a slighly uncomfortable headset, ive only had them for two weeks so im expecting them to keep breaking in, also the cable is way too long, senheiser should sell shorter cables as this is replaceable but i havent found a good replacement.

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 dont really have any noise cancellatiob, but the sound and comfort is great!

Knockout for Sennheiser, especially at this price.

The sound quality on these are good. However, they are a bit uncomfortable for the adult sized head. It is also hard to believe that for $150 they did not come with a case or carry bag.
