Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was very impressed with these headphones. They are a no brainer for the price. Super accurate and wide soundscape. The bass was very impressive for open back headphones. Super easy to drive.

I bought these to use with a surround sound DAC. I do both gaming and videos. I decided to ditch the combined mic and headsets and use these with a desk mic. The directional sound result and the sound quality with the HD560S was splendid.

The HD 560S is a new headphone design for which I found favorable expert reviews with an Internet search engine (review guidelines prohibit naming other products and websites). I am using it with a MQA-enabled DAC/AMP to stream CD-quality and hi-res music from a USB port of a Windows 10 PC. It fits comfortably and performs well, particularly with hi-res music from two streaming services that I have on trial subscriptions. The open back design provides a satisfying sensation of spaciousness but unavoidably allows sound to leak both ways, so I deducted one star just as a warning. Any external sound, like a TV, will leak in and the headphone sound may be overheard by anybody nearby. It comes with only a detachable long (10 ft) cable that has a heavy 6.3mm jack (for AVR use) and a heavy 3.5 mm adapter. For use with a smartphone that has a 3.5mm stereo output port it would be better to use a short (4 ft) cable with a 3.5 mm jack. A Sennheiser rep. told me that the 1.2m cable provided with the HD 599 is suitable but they have no spares in stock for purchase now.

Can't go wrong with Sennheiser. I previously had the 280HDs and the padding feel apart after 4 years. These are definitely a step up in build quality and comfortability. A disconnectable wire is also amazing, especially because it could be strained over time like my 280HDs that did not disconnect from the wire. Dog chews it? Easy to replace for like 10 bucks (3rd party). Whether you're a casual headphone user or an audiophile, these are a great pair for anybody. Audio is very clear. Be warned that these do not noise cancel. I can hear through them very well, and while I like this, I'm sure many won't.

Fantastic headphones. Only thing I can be nitpicky about is the lack of a port to replace the cable in case of unforseen damage. Otherwise great quality, feels great on the head, and a very affordable price for the quality.

Very pleased with purchase. Comfortable to wear for long periods of listening. The sound it what I was looking for, very open soundstage, very low harmonic and intermodulation (non-harmonic) distortion. They are open back so not for sound isolation for background ambient noise, flat/neutral bass, as it was mixed at the console. Not for someone looking for heavy low end/club type bass. The sound is very accurate and uncolored, small details in the recording are not covered up with harmonics or unintended low frequency. Thanks!

Very comfortable, price match also works perfectly!

sound quality is slightly better than the hd 650 and the price is lower, however they are not as comfortable as the hd 650. It has better bass.

The sound quality on these headphones are exceptional. The Sennheiser 560s deliver a rich, balanced, and immersive audio experience. Whether I'm listening to music, watching movies, or gaming, the clarity and precision of the sound are truly outstanding. The bass is deep and punchy, the mids are crisp, and the highs are crystal clear.

I used to think that there were plenty of mainstream headphones that were good enough for me, mainly sticking to Sony and a couple other brands since I used to be a bass head (No, I never owned Beats, huge waste of money) But now I have seen just what I'm actually supposed to be hearing and these headphones helped me out a lot. Keep in mind that I have owned other open back headphones before this, the Philips SHP9500 and 9600, Koss KPH30i and Grado SR80e. But these are the first pro-ish headphones I have had and they are worth every scent of their $200, in fact I would say that you're getting these for a steal. However, the first complaint that I have is that there is only one cable in the box, and it's an incredibly long and coiled cable. Now, I understand that these are meant to be run off an amp or desktop hardware, but the very least they can do is include a shorter cable. Out of the box, the clamp pressure is high, not so much that it's unbearable but enough to give me a headache after 20 minutes. I suggest stretching these out with a stack of books. Yes, they are made of plastic, but it's a high quality plastic that is perfectly acceptable. What I especially love is the color scheme, full matte black. The sound signature is the most interesting part about this headphone - completely flat with slight emphasis on the treble. Now some mainstream listeners would not like this, but if you find a song that has bass mixed into the track, you can still hear it. However these headphones are meant more for different types of music, mainly instrumental or lighter music. Don't get me wrong, Pop, Rap and House music will sound great there, but these headphones focus on the mids and highs and leave the bass a bit behind. In fact it could even be argued that these headphones can be used to mix and monitor music and audio. So for me, as long as you listen at a desk or have a portable amp dac, these are highly enjoyable headphones for those that want something that isn't mainstream and can provide a very different experience with the music you're already familiar with.

Bought these to game with. Had Astro a40s and steel series move pro wireless.. these are exceptional for gaming and we won’t be going back. The weight disappears on your head and there is 0 fatigue even after a long 12 hour day wearing them. The sound stage is amazing, directional is better than any gaming set I’ve ever used.

They sound good and feel good. Stay on ypur head well.

Great headset, haven't had any issues, really love the fit, I got big ears.

One of the best tuned headphones ive ever heard. Would prefer if it had a bit more bass, but timbre is spot on amd treble is bright without being fatiguing. Having heard much more expensive planars from audeze, focal, and hifiman, this right here is where id mark the point of diminishing returns.

For years I have had nothing but gaming headsets and was convinced that was the way to go. After multiple headsets, and research I found these. On Amazon there were mixed reviews but reading here on Best Buy they were all positive with some negatives. When I tested these bad boys out it was a total game changer (pun intended). I mostly use them for my ps5 and I can 100% say they are worth it. The audio is crisp in my opinion. I can hear footsteps in Apex Legends a lot more clearer. Theres no volume adjuster on these but its not a huge issue. I would say to recommend these over any game headset on the market. The earcups are super comfortable, I can have them all day and not experience discomfort, especially with glasses on. Definitely cheaper too!

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.

Very nice, good sound quality but maybe not everything I expected. Returned and bought some B&Ws.tho admittedly they were about $50 more…. Also - wasn’t really about the fabric ear pieces vs synthetic leather…

Extremely lightweight and comfortable! Amazing sound quality as well!

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.

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