Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Ill keep it short and sweet, these are IT right here people. You only need an AMP but i recommend getting a DAC as well for these puppies. For $200 these are a STEAL, the level of clarity in all the ranges are 10 fold better then any headphone I've ever owned (Steel series, JBL, etc). (Currently running a Monolith Liquid Spark AMP and a Schiit Modi 3 DAC) With the Liquid Spark the bass is so warm and inviting but not overtaking, the mids and highs still punch their way through very nicely. I hear NO static or weird issues with the drivers, these are some quality headphones and they are going to sell like mad. The comfort level is on par with any of the most expensive headphones, the padding is VERY plush and soft and sits comfortably on my head all day. The clamping force is in between medium and high, its a good in- between. The only 2 downsides i can really see with these atm is the headphone's overall are made out of plastic(quality plastic, but plastic non the less, and it feels like it.) They don't feel the up most durable but they are not flimsy what so ever, Sennhieser doesn't make crap. The high range can sometimes feel a little overwhelming and loud at times, but not enough to be a turn off.

Bought these after owning the Sennheiser hd 599 and I prefer these for gaming and music. The 599 is more for reference, and does a fantastic job of doing that. These have a great alternate sound profile that makes everything sound more "fun". I pair both with a Fiio BTR5 and listening to music with Apple music, which has much higher sound quality than Spotify, sounds amazing. The sound stage really shines on apple music and proper flac and other high fidelity formats. For gaming the sound stage works wonders for competitive fps and other games where knowing what direction sounds are coming from. I wanted to experience something other than traditional gaming headsets and these blow all those away. For pc, getting a seperate mic was hardly an issue and my overall experience is so much better because of it. Nothing wrong with most gaming headsets, I still love my hyperx cloud IIs and just having everything all in one is very convenient, but if you have the means, try going this route. These being open back does mean sound will leak out and external noises around you may leak in. Both are something to consider if you share your space with another so that's to be considered. They're very comfortable and I did buy another cable since the default one was longer than I liked, but it's not necessary to buy anything else for these headphones. Very good value and they go on sale often. Oh, and yes, the pads are replaceable and there's lots of great options out there if you want to explore that.

These Hi-Res headphones truly exceeded my expectations. The sound is crystal clear, with great detail across the highs, mids, and lows. Perfect for listening to lossless audio on Apple Music and TIDAL. The build quality feels premium, and they’re surprisingly comfortable for long listening sessions. If you’re looking for reference-quality sound without breaking the bank, these are a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

One of the best sounding headphones I’ve used so far because of the sound signature and I’ve always used gaming headphones mainly Astro A40/50. So when I picked this up on Black Friday deals it was a pleasant surprise to my ears. The sound stage was wider and imaging for COD which is what I mainly play was superb. The sound signature is pretty flat but that just means less base explosion in my ears and I could game longer without fatigue. But where it really shined for my is when I’m listening to HIFI music on Spotify. I got for about the same price as my Astro A40s so I was wondering why I never bought these instead all this time. Its entry level audiophile headphone but fits my budget perfect because my Astro ear pads were falling apart on me from wear and tear. Best part of this ear phone is comfortability when wearing them for extensive gaming hours.

I have really enjoyed these headphones. They have allowed me to fully appreciate my music again and not disturb anyone else. One nice thing is that they have a 3.5mm plug and it comes with an 1/4" adapter to use with my amplifier (see photo). I may be no expert but I think they have excellent sound quality and details of sound are clear to me. The ear pieces are large enough to entirely cover my ears and comfortable enough for long periods of wearing them.

First pair splurge on headphones. Sound wise directly plugged into a port is AWESOME. I will say I use it to game more than music listening and the sound is a little quieter compared to other gaming headsets but it may be because I use a splitter and plug it into my controller via a turtle beach adapter, i’m sure it sound louder if I could plug it directly into a controller or dac amp. For the sale price I snagged these at, I am very pleased with my purchase here at BestBuy.

No I didn’t actually cry, but as an avid user of mid-low end headphones these are a huge step up. The open backs offer a different level of sound without sacrificing quality and precision, and after ditching my air pods a while back the fact they’re wired is great. Been rocking these almost everyday for gaming & music and they are perfect for both. Only thing is they do lack a bit on bass even with EQ software, but it’s not a huge deal. So far a great entry into the world of premium audio. 10/10

These Sennheiser headphones are great. They are what I have come to expect from this compan y's headphones. Ever since I started using them some 35 to 40 years ago when I worked as a cinematographer and audio man for public television in Miami, Florida. Their Fidelity is clear and well balanced and are comfortable to wear for long periods of time and they have a replaceable cord with both sizes of audio jacks for connection. They are a good value for the price I paid and are a quality product that feels like it will last a long time.

Great, open soundstage. These are pretty neutral sounding, but very clear on the details and separation. I replaced my SHP9500 with these for my main gaming setup, as they weigh almost nothing and are VERY comfortable for long sessions. I use a VMODA Boompro along with a 3.5<>2.5mm adapter that I dremeled notches into, in order to bypass the locking tabs on this pair.

Impressively clear and neutral sound. Open back allows for a great soundstage but lacks punchier bass and allows for more ambient noise to leak in more so than a closed back pair would. Overall incredible headphones for somebody looking to jump into the hifi headphones world and wants a great neutral baseline of what hifi headphones should offer.

I used a pair of wireless logitech Gaming headset and they were really good, but I always hated having to charge them so I figured I'd go and buy some nice new headphones that were wired and saw that these were recommended especially since the more extensive ones really start to see diminishing returns (unless you spend 2 grand) and I gotta say they are great! Music and games sound amazing and I love the wider stage it provides. Though the caviot is that base is lost ALOT so if you like base, these would probably leave you feeling some kind of way. I did at first too, until I got used to the lower base. I know people tweak their audio, but I'm no audiophile. Just a dude who games on occasion.

I've only recently taken steps to up my audio game, and holy cow do I not regret a thing! I was so used to my old apple Earpods that I thought that was what "premium" sound was. I never knew how good the music I have been listening to for years actually was. When I got these, I was blown away. I was up until 3AM listening to songs I thought I was bored with. It was like listening for the first time. I'm still a newbie, but these are even getting insanely good reviews from audiophile veterans. Just buy them. They're great. Just make sure you also have something that can power them to their fullest potential. I bought the FiiO K5 Pro AMP/DAC, and it sounds fantastic.

The sound quality on these headphones are great for my piano. Also, they are crazy comfortable. The only complaint is that you can hear things around your environment but that is also just the effect of having open headphones.

GREAT HEADPHONES FOR THE PRICE! The sound quality is similar to the 6 series, if not better. MIND YOU, the 6 series is double the price of these ones. The sound comes clean and crisp, and the distortion is very minimal because of the opening. The materials are not premium but the sound makes up for it. Ive tried the Apple headphones (499 USD) and the Beats (350 USD) and unfortunately the sound didnt make up for the price. The earcups fits nicely once you break them down. Probably the best thing is that it fits over the entire ear, so you wont be getting that painful ear pressure that other headphones give you. Overall, great headphone!

Perfect upgrade to my old HD558. Balanced sound signature with clear mids, the bass is present and not overpowering, and highs sparkle but not fatiguing. Clamping force on your head may be a bit tight at first but it does eventually loosen up after time.

I am upgrading from hd599. I connect directly to the mac mini and the sound quality is great. Has more bass than hd599, but not thumping bass. Bass heads may not like it. The clamp is tight, but hopefully it should relax overtime.

Sound on these is actually really good. The bass hits nice and the overall quality surprised me. They’re comfortable too, even after using them for a while very light. Solid headphones for the price.

Absolutely love the sound of these, I’ve had these since March of 2023, reviewing in January of 2024. I have worn them almost every day since, and there are no signs of wear on the foam or headband. Love these.
