Reason: - the jack itself sometimes needs to be moved or twisted so it can be heard from both sides - again needs to be moved to also take away the static (thought it was me on my end but it works fine with other headphones) - Great audio, long and Durable cable - Bass is what is was looking for and personally- I don’t think it was enough bass for me but the audio is crispy so it’s a plus overall - Headband and earmuffs are comfortable and very expandable (depending on the hairstyle I tend to open and stretch the band a little so it goes over and it hasn’t given any problems yet)

Light weight, extremely comfortable, no perspiration on ears with open rear design, no distortion or too much bass, 7' power cord for easy use on most systems. Did require a JM6 Portable Amplifier Adaptor to obtain desired volume level when arrached to my Samsung Fold. Loved it enough to buy a second HD 560S for my wife, who is equally pleased with her Sennheiser. Only negative is it requires a larger storage case since the ear phones do not fold for storage.

Excellent Gaming Open Back (think Transparency mode on Airpods / no noise cancelling you can hear everything outside the headset) Gaming and Media consumption for the price, it is definetly worth it. Quality plastic with an aluminum band, there is no swivel join so you cant accidently break it by trying to turn the earpiece the wrong way because if you did you'd be breaking it. Comfortable over long periods of time. May get alittle warm during the summer but the light design leaves very little fatigue and the open backed nature means there is no heavy foam or materials adding to the weight on your head. The band is ok on an average sized head, no heavy clamping force. Compared to other headsets I have used, it is very similar to the HyperX Cloud 2 but definetly lighter but has no noise cancelling. A great upgrade for audio quality especially if you use a DAC as it has a Screw on 1/4mm jack.
