Customers are saying

Customers love the HD 560S Wired Open Aire Over-the-Ear Audiophile Headphones for their exceptional sound quality and comfortable design, making them suitable for extended listening. Many appreciate the lightweight feel and secure fit. However, some find the bass lacking and the cable length excessive, while others experience discomfort due to the clamping force.

    Great headset. Would buy over my Astros A50s.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Great headphones. Built out of plastic, but the quality is great. A nice introduction into the "audiophile" world when listening to music, but also has great imaging when playing videos games.

    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!

    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.

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

    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

    Open Box QC is terrible

    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.

    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.

    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.
