Customer Ratings & Reviews

Best headset for almost everything. I love this headset for listening to music, gaming, or sometimes watching YT. If you want to use this as a gaming headset I would suggest you buy a boom mic off of Amazon that’s compatible with this. I bought the wrong boom mic and had to buy another one but I didn’t mind since I actually ended up having a use for both of them. I would argue that these sound better than my Astros A50s but are less comfortable. I bought a amp since it was recommended for my headset. The only thing I would say is holding this headset back is the fact that it is wired. But then if it was wireless then the headset would probably not have a way to connect a boom mic to it.

Great set of headphones. Good sound stage and works well for music and gaming with discord. Clamp force is a little tight but can be stretched by putting over books or something.

These headphones have just been fantastic..... they are extremely comfortable and maintain a very high quality sound. I am super-satisfied with this purchase.

One of the best headphones u can get out there! The imaging and clarity on these are one of the best, and the sound stage is just the right amount, nothing too crazy like the hd800s, so anyone can enjoy this baby's sound signature. It's one of the perfect headphones to start your audiophile jouney!

Great soundscape and so comfortable throughout prolonged use. Mainly used for gaming/work.

Love the quality and fits great helps my game playing sound great

The headphone sounds great. I use them for gaming and I can hear foot steps pretty clearly. The open back is a plus because my ears do not get as hot. I wish it came with a usb adapter and volume control.

Some of the best headphones I’ve had with an amazing soundstage. Good for classical music enjoyers

The store associates were extremely helpful and answered any questions I had about the headphones

Really comfortable headphones. Cable length is 1.8 meters which is long enough. They are open-ended, so not much sound blocking

It sounds amazing! I love it how clear the sounds are.

Great headphones. Did not enjoy the little surprise they came with in the box.

I ordered what was listed as an Open Box Excellent condition set of these headphones and the condition they arrived in shouldn't even pass as Fair. No original box which could be forgiven if not for the missing adapter and overall filthiness of the headphones. The ear pieces were covered in dandruff/dead skin inside and out, I refused to even put them on my head. They also had scuffs on the outside and the sticker on the gallon bag they came in was ripped off. I can only assume they had received more orders for Open Box Excellent than they could fill and decided to ship out lower condition open box items to see if whoever they sent it to would let it fly. I messaged customer support immediately and the only course of action they provided me was to either exchange or return. No offers of a credit or anything to compensate me for their terrible business practices and I had to spend time and fuel to drive to the closest Best Buy to me which is 30 minutes away. Learn from my mistake and only buy an open box item if it's available to inspect in person at your local store.

By far the best headphones I have ever owned. Better than every bluetooth set out there. And for $220, you shouldn’t consider any other set than this

Ah these feel comfy. I thought they were going to be a bit bigger since I think I have a big head but it fits just fine. Sounds great and I needed something with more bass than my other headphones.

Excellent for video game immersion and music production with no latency

Favorite headphones I've ever owned. Open back design is great if you're wanting to be able to hear things going on in your house. Bass response is nice without being over-pronounced. Great for games, movies, and music. Wish there was an identical model with a mic attached though. Only downside is the velvet/velour pads are lint magnets.

I am a big Sennheiser fan and this is my 9th pair of Sennheiser. Excellent audio quality. Really flat and clear sound. As with most Sennheiser headphones this produces a tight but somewhat light bass sound, so if you like pounding bass please look elsewhere. Now, the one thing that sets the HD560s apart from all the other Sennheisers I own is in its treble response. The HD560s is a lot brighter than the HD6XX, HD58X, HD518 and the HD598. If you never liked Sennheiser because of the so called Sennheiser veil this might be that pair that will change your mind. Just like the HD518 and the HD598, this HD560s is quite comfortable to be worn for long sessions. Unlike the HD58X and the HD6XX the clamping force is only about half as strong so the HD560s might fall off if you like to listen to music in a reclined position. IMO the HD560s is on par with the HD6XX and I would really recommend anyone who is interested in Sennheiser products to try this one out.

and you are not in need of a headset mic then this is the product for you. In fact this is such a good all around headphone that it can be used for anything; music, movies, games etc. Sennheiser makes some of the best audio products. Prior to this I was using the PC38X. I still love that gaming headset and I use it for conference calls because of the mic. The HD560S however has better sound stage and imaging. I love the audio from Rage 2. When playing that game I can hear the water dripping in the sewers. These EQ well. I found the bass a little lacking. By just adjusting some EQ it took me a couple of seconds to get the perfect sound. Mids and highs are excellent out of the box. Lastly, the notorious Sennheiser clamping force. Sennheiser's always tend to be a little tight around the head. These are the tightest pair of headphones I own. I definitely like a little clamp, but these are a little more than I would desire. I've returned headphones in the past for being too loose so clamping is important. The force on these are not a deal breaker, but if you tend to have a large head than be aware. These are super light weight and made out of plastic so I'm not sure if stretching them out can crack them. Overall I love these headphones. For what you are getting at this price point I have nothing but positive things to say about these. I highly recommend.

I recently purchased the Sennheiser HD 560S headphones as I've gotten back into enjoying my CD collection on my old computer and iPod, and I needed a quality pair with a cable. Also, having a headphone amplifier, the 1/4 inch adapter on these headphones made them a perfect choice. The listening experience they offer is very good. As my first pair of open-back headphones, I initially wasn't too thrilled with the sound, especially when comparing them to my ATH-M50's. The HD 560S are quieter and have less bass punch. However, after spending more time with them, I came to prefer the HD 560S as they are leaps and bounds more accurate than the ATH-M50's. They're also much more comfortable to wear and listen to. The open-back design creates a sense of music being around you rather than directed at you, which is vastly preferable for longer listening sessions. It's important to note that some might prefer headphones that are more like the ATH-M50's for their louder volume and stronger bass, especially when not using a headphone amplifier. If you're used to that sound and need a closed-back design, these might not be for you. However, if you're after a high-performance pair of headphones that offer incredibly accurate sound and reveal details in your music that you haven't heard before, these headphones are a buy for me without hesitation. Overall, I highly recommend the Sennheiser HD 560S headphones for a truly delightful listening experience.
