A:AnswerNo optical-in connection on these headphones, but will play a signal from a source optical cable that has been fed into a stereo receiver or amplifier with a headphone out jack.
A:AnswerI know this is old but for future people seeing this it feels important.
These headphones offer peak audio quality but are NOT noise canceling. Places that are loud may slightly interfere with your experience but it’s still unlikely. They’re very light and extremely comfortable though so, a long trip could be viable.
A:AnswerYes, I can use the Sennheiser HD560S headphones when connected to my Sony Bravia 7 TV while the TV is connected to my AV receiver which I connect to the headphones with the use of an extension cable.
A:AnswerThe product comes with all you need for listening...whether through an amp or on a mobile device. I do caution that these are not meant to be used 'full time' on mobile devices.
A:AnswerThe difference between 16 and 24bit audio is not noticeable for many folks 16 bit is cd quality and 24 bit is studio. If you're listing on spotify it doesn't matter because they'll be streaming at mp3 quality which is pretty poor.
A:AnswerI don't have an amp and use them with my phone(iPhone), work laptop and PC Desktop motherboard integrated sound card, and I get enough sound out of those.
A:AnswerI was forced to purchase online. Although it was to be shipped/delivered within two weeks it only took two days. Due to demand for this item I would recommend checking BB frequently and purchasing the moment you see availability. These are selling like hotcakes and for good reason... sound is nothing short of amazing!
A:AnswerYes, people around you will listen your headphone audio but this is how it was designed to work. The overall sound is astonishing, well balanced. Good value for the money.
A:AnswerI watched it go in and out of stock myself. Hard to say when inventory will be available again, but recommend checking back periodically and purchasing immediately. Demand is VERY high for this headphone and for good reason. Sound is up there with HD6 series cans. Amazing sound! #sennheiserFTW
