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)

Bought this for gaming and I am very happy with my purchase.

These are an amazing pair of headphones, and I have been using them exclusively for everything from gaming, to movie watching, to music listening, and more. The sound quality is great and the open back design adds so much more sound stage.

Perfecto para mezclar y para escuchar música de manera fiel. Recomiendo compren un cable más cómodo para usar con jack 3.5. ya que la entrada de los audífonos es 2.5 balanceada de sennheiser.

Fantastic headset. BUT I ordered a NEW headset and got a used one instead with a torn up box, some random aftermarket cable, and no user manual. was kinda mad

Very good headphones, they do truly sound very good. A lot of people say using an AMP makes these even better however I have found the usb-c Apple dongle works just as good for these. Cushions are firm but end up forming to your head after a while. I found they arent as great for gaming not because the sound isnt great but because you can hear the keyboard clicks through the open back which is a little distracting when trying to hear footsteps and other important sounds.

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.

I dont really know or understand all the audiophile words so Im not going to try to use them. But these sound just really good and clear explain it in laymans terms. I got these along with some other entry level audiophile headphones and these give a sound that is the most neutral and just overall clear, like crystal clear, Im not sure how else to describe it. Im using these with a Fiio K3 DAC/Amp and they sound excelling with it, and the bass boost on the K3 helps some songs sound even better, but I wouldnt say an amp is really necessary for these headphones at all. I tried the headphones with a $10 3.5mm to USB cable/sound card and they sound almost equally as good just using that and with more than enough volume. Plugging them directly into the headphone jack on my PC Im also able to get decent volume out of them but I have to crank it up close to 100.

THATS WHY SENNHEISERS THE GOAT.

I love to listen to music, sometimes at louder levels than my family appreciates (who may be doing things other than listening to my music). Anyway, I have always appreciated good headphones to connect with the music and disconnect from the surrounding world. There are plenty of expensive noise-cancelling and wireless headphones that even do things like take your phone calls. BUT they still cant reproduce music like a good set of wired headphones. The HD 560 fills the bill for the later. They dont of themselves tailor the sound, they accurately reproduce what is there. I honestly dont know how they would fare against super-expensive cans, but they are much better than el-cheapos I have tried, including those coming from major brands. I also have a set of Grado SR60s that I really like. They look pretty cheesy, but they sound great. They are also lighter and more comfortable to wear, not that the Sennheisers are uncomfortable. I would say that the Grado is brighter, but hard to say which is more accurate. The cheaper phones I have tried ($25-$50) dont even come close. Warning: you may think your headphones sound fine until you hear some good ones. It will spoil you. One other thing - I saw comments wondering if this higher impedance headphone was sensitive enough for a laptop. I tried it on my wifes 13 laptop and it produces plenty of volume.

Definitely best quality for the price. The open back design makes it so much nicer to listen to outside noises as well as enhances the soundstage. I paired this headphone with a mini amp and USB dongle for my PC and its definitely one of the best gaming/audio experiences you can get for under $200
