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)

These headphones are extremely linear, flat and honest. No distortion, no added bass, no brightened treble. Just plain, highly detailed sound with great imaging and a moderately wide sound stage.

I had read a lot of reviews online saying that this is a good set for the price, and that it may even be better than some pricier ones. I am a headphones newbie so I dont personally know how they compare, but they are easily the best headphones Ive ever used. They are open-backed, so they are not good for wearing in public places (basically, you are sacrificing travelability for better sound), but they are great for chilling at home and really feeling the music all around you.

I bought these cans thinking that I could drive them directly from a Macbook Pro (2018 model).

I use these headphones for gaming. They have good sound guality, open back and they are comfortable. My last pair had an attached mic...these dont. I prefer without the mic.

Sound quality of these cans is outstanding in every way. Can hear all the little details and soundstage is huge. Noise cancellation is great too compared to other open backs. Really immerses you.

Christmas present and grandson did not take them off - loved them. Thanked me many times - fabulous from a 15 year old!

its like only maybe 25% better than ksc75 which are like $20. but diminishing returns are the name of the game and these are probably the only reasonable upgrade before you break your wallet. listening to my playlists, a few songs become amazing and sound like a whole new experience while others are noticeably worse and most are just slightly better. use these for those songs that work with this headphone

I bought these both for listening to music and for mixing. I have a pretty high-end stereo system with a tube DAC and Magneplanars so I am used to a very clean, detailed and musical sound. I was worried these headphones might be overly analytical and therefore not particularly musical. To my ears they certainly sound analytical but musical as well. Naturally it depends on the source material. Sure they wont make vocals slap you in the face the way the maggies do but they still sound every bit as musical. I hear far more detail and find things in tracks i have listened to for decades that I never realized were there.

I originally was looking at the HD600 and HD6xx.....then I found these....

Knockout for Sennheiser, especially at this price.
