Customer Ratings & Reviews

I loved this headset. The sound was amazing, and it was comfortable to wear. I am just spoiled and used to not having a wire anymore. So when I had these, I would constantly pull the wire on accident, fearing that I could break them. I ended up returning them for something wireless.

I bought it quite cheap, did not expect much, but it is perfect. I believe, only if I bought it brand new, it would be better. And the headphones is great for any kind of music.

Sennheiser is my go-to brand for over the ear headphones. I have purchased several over the years and all have been excellent for comfort and sound quality. This is wired, which I prefer for sound quality.

Extremely lightweight and comfortable! Amazing sound quality as well!

I have been using these for a little over a year, mainly gaming and listening to music on Spotify. The sound quality is perfect and they are very enjoyable to listen to. They are very comfortable also and I only feel like taking them off after 4+ hours. The only issue I have experienced is the headphones losing connection to my pc when the wire bends (not harshly, just gravity) a certian way. I tried swapping them out but the problem continues, so I no longer use them for gaming becasue of that inconsistency.

These headphones provide a truly spectacular listening experience. This is my first pair of Sennheiser's and I can clearly see why they're highly regarded. I do think they could have slightly more bass depending on your auditory situation but I prefer how crisp, clean and clear anything you listen to sounds.

best headphones at a fair price. so comfortable with clarity!

Light, comfortable, and amazing sound, couldn't ask for a better pair of wired headphones!

Not going to give a super techy review here. Suffice to say these are new Sennheiser headphones and are in HIGH demand for good reason. The sound is on par with the 600 series cans. I know that sets the bar high, but for $200 these headphones do NOT disappoint. I'm kind of a Sennheiser junky. I have the HD558, HD598, HD599, HD58X, HD600, HD6XX, HD660S and now HD560S. This headset is just as good or on par with the HD600 which is a world class headphone... no joke. Sennheiser engineering is top notch and anything made by this company is of supreme quality! Buy with confidence.

Soundstage and seperation is great for gaming when plugged into my SMSL c200 DAC/AMP. The headphones are very analytical and I found the audio to be a bit dry/flat while gaming in comparison to my other headphones and IEM's, which isn't bad or unpleasant, just different. Because these headphones are so analytical/true to sound, they don't have a ton of bass. The bass is definitely there, and it sounds nice and crispy clear, but if you prefer warm bass that will rattle you, these are not it- that's not what they're for. I have a pair of Simgot EM6L's that seem much punchier and clearer in-game (WZ2) when compared back to back with these headphones, but the HD 560S seemed to have better diaganol imaging, allowing me to pinpoint the position of sounds a bit easier than with the EM6L's. Comfort is okay. I have a slightly larger than average sized head and they are still a bit snug after 2 weeks of moderate use. It's not uncomfortable while wearing them, but I definitely notice how tight they were when I take them off. It's kinda like when you take your shoes off after a long day. My only minor gripe with these headphones is that they seem to be pretty sensitive to how you position them over your ears. The audio changes a bit if they shift forward/backwards. I'm not sure if this is common across all open-back headphones as this is my first pair, but it is noticeable for me. Not necessarily annoying though, and definitely not a dealbreaker considering I got these on sale for about $50 off the normal price. Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase and would reccomend these to anyone as an entry into "audiophile" heaphones.

I love these ever since i bought them and a proper amp for the power. Some of the best listening i've have had in my life for music and even some gaming i feel like everything is immersive. the comfort level on these is insane zero headache or hot ears can wear them for hours and stand up and forget im wired in.

These are absolutely insane for the money. Gorgeous open soundstage and range, and one of the flattest headphones I've ever heard. The cable is comically long, so I purchased a third party cable elsewhere to replace it, but overall couldn't be happier. Used with a Rode AI-1 on my desktop for gaming and music, also tried it hooked up through my PS5 and sounds incredible for console gaming as well. If you are looking for a quality wired headset, this is an absurd value.

I have been using these headphones for gaming for a couple weeks and so far they are working great. The audio quality is really good and the open back feel and comfort are good. Would recommend.

Really solid headphones! Good sound quality and they feel great. If you really care about audio then i think these are a good pick

Couple of months in, and it's still very solid! The Soundstage is outstanding. Both for music and FPS Gaming! There's quite a clamp on the first week or two, basically a break in period. But you should be able break it in quicker by letting it rest on a headset block. Other than the noticeable clamp and the need for the break-in period, it's very comfortable and super light! Definitely recommends!

One of the best pair of headphones I've ever heard. Heard it called the 800S's little brother, but I haven't heard that headphone yet. I think out of all the ones I own so far (HD 660S, PC37X, PC38X, and HD 599), this is tied for first. For $200 it's a steal. On sale feels like armed robbery. Buy them.

Coming from HD 598, these sound less muddy and overall were an improvement for me. They are still pretty comfortable, but for some reason they’re more a bit more clampy. I think they’d be 5 stars without the clamp, making them a lot more comfortable. Maybe they’ll break in over time. Overall great for music and gaming.

Awesome headphones for the price. very light and open.

For the price it's a top-tier choice for neutral, reference-grade sound on a budget. Ideal for home listeners, mixing, and audiophiles who value detail and balance — just don't expect booming bass or luxury build quality.

These are good headphones. Audio and music is clearly distinct and when I listen to classical music each of the orchestra instruments are clear. Nice long wire and they are comfy on my ears. Good job!
