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 bought the PC38X a few weeks ago and I was blown away with how nice they sounded, even for music. Because theyre low-powered, I can listen to music on my iPhone and get amazing audio, even with AAC.

Elderly relative is able to listen at 80 (sometimes 90) without driving everyone else out of the house. Relative said “these are really good!”

Using for at home sound mixing and I love it !!!

llevo aprox poco mas de 2 años con ellos , son unos audifonos ligeros muy comodos para gente que los usa en largas sesiones de audio , tienen una muy buena calidad de audio cuando se le acompaña de archivo de audio y de un buen DAC/AMP , durante este tiempo los estuve probando con difentes dacs en cual en cada uno de ellos sale las caracteristicas de cada unos de ellos gracias a estos ser Tener su curva y poder ecualizarlos a nuestro gusto

I am using a G6 DAC with this and the default sound without any profiles used, etc.. sounds a bit muffled. Voices dont sound like they would in real life ( It helps to record audio from someone you know and play it back to help calibrate ).

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.

All the Sennheiser headphones I tried and reviewed are well built and of high quality standards. Everyones preferences are different, and Sennheiser truly has something for everyone--whether a bassy soundcurve for punch (for dance music, DJing, and fans of genres of music which rhythm is important to them), a neutral soundcurve for authenticity (for Classical music, movies, music as it is originally mastered, Musical Theatre, and TV series), or a trebly soundcurve for clarity (for audiobooks, news, sports, talkshows, and vocal music if understanding what is being said/sung is more important than reproducing how they sound in real life). I am looking for a well-built pair of open-air/open-back/open-ear headphones with a neutral soundcurve. This pair of headphones has a trebly soundcurve. I returned these based on my preference, not because they are a bad pair of headphones. In case anyone is wondering about the truth to the rumors of the HD 400 PRO being a hyped up HD 560 S, Based on my personal first hand experience, they include different cables and arent available in black. Other than that, I dont notice any difference in the audio. They are an awesome pair of headphones. But I returned those again because of my personal preference.

Great sound quality, very crystal clear and crisp.

I had the HD 599 which are very light and comfortable headphones, I could easily forget I was wearing them, and essentially have them on all day. But these 560S constantly squeeze my head (I by no means have a large head), theyre just uncomfortable to wear for any amount of time.

Use them for gaming overall great experience
