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 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.

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.

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.
Awesome for Music & FPS Gaming! Needs break-in tho

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!

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.

Perfect entry for those trying to get into the audiophile realm. I’m no audiophile myself but the difference these have against a gaming headset is major. Decent soundstage, all tones shine and don’t get muddied out, very comfortable aside from ears touching the drivers (my ears stick out lol). If your ears are closer to your head you’ll be fine. Ad an amp and a good dac (I have the Schiit stack) and these headphones really shine.

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!

Love these headphones, the sound is amazing, they’re super comfortable and I can wear them for very long periods of time without any discomfort.
I just yesterday found out the headphone Jack was removable , so that was a pleasant surprise

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.

Ive been through plenty of headphones i. The search of the “one”. I recently upgraded to a UA Volt 1 audio interface and not longer had the necessity for wireless heaphones. The headset i had before this was the Arctis Nova Pro wireless. A great headset as it should be for the price. These, although do lack in the bass department, feel great on head. They lack the low end of other options but man are they comfortable. I get little to jo head fatigue while wearing these for hours on end. The openback nature of the headset also makes it a bit easier on the ears. Ive had plenty of headphones in the past and have experimented with all brands but i do really love these. If your on pc (which i assume you are) a mild EQ brings these to life. Steel series sonar software is a great way to tune these to your liking. Overall great headphones for the money and unbelievably comfortable. If youre looking for a bassy headphone look elsewhere. Otherwise, these are a great option.

I purchased these only to end up getting a huge deal on the HD 650 elsewhere. I spent a few days listening to both and in the end the HD 650 won because they were the best at what I wanted them for. However, the HD 560 S were pretty good on my computer with an external DAC. You could probably power these with a AudioQuest Dragonfly and I can’t remember if I tried to or not but you could probably use that with a mobile device and they would work fine. I would not use these as out and about headphones as you can hear what is being listened to outside of them and if you want some quiet to hear the music you will not get that with these.
