Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ill keep it short and sweet, these are IT right here people. You only need an AMP but i recommend getting a DAC as well for these puppies. For $200 these are a STEAL, the level of clarity in all the ranges are 10 fold better then any headphone I've ever owned (Steel series, JBL, etc). (Currently running a Monolith Liquid Spark AMP and a Schiit Modi 3 DAC) With the Liquid Spark the bass is so warm and inviting but not overtaking, the mids and highs still punch their way through very nicely. I hear NO static or weird issues with the drivers, these are some quality headphones and they are going to sell like mad. The comfort level is on par with any of the most expensive headphones, the padding is VERY plush and soft and sits comfortably on my head all day. The clamping force is in between medium and high, its a good in- between. The only 2 downsides i can really see with these atm is the headphone's overall are made out of plastic(quality plastic, but plastic non the less, and it feels like it.) They don't feel the up most durable but they are not flimsy what so ever, Sennhieser doesn't make crap. The high range can sometimes feel a little overwhelming and loud at times, but not enough to be a turn off.

Light weight, extremely comfortable, no perspiration on ears with open rear design, no distortion or too much bass, 7' power cord for easy use on most systems. Did require a JM6 Portable Amplifier Adaptor to obtain desired volume level when arrached to my Samsung Fold. Loved it enough to buy a second HD 560S for my wife, who is equally pleased with her Sennheiser. Only negative is it requires a larger storage case since the ear phones do not fold for storage.

Excellent Gaming Open Back (think Transparency mode on Airpods / no noise cancelling you can hear everything outside the headset) Gaming and Media consumption for the price, it is definetly worth it. Quality plastic with an aluminum band, there is no swivel join so you cant accidently break it by trying to turn the earpiece the wrong way because if you did you'd be breaking it. Comfortable over long periods of time. May get alittle warm during the summer but the light design leaves very little fatigue and the open backed nature means there is no heavy foam or materials adding to the weight on your head. The band is ok on an average sized head, no heavy clamping force. Compared to other headsets I have used, it is very similar to the HyperX Cloud 2 but definetly lighter but has no noise cancelling. A great upgrade for audio quality especially if you use a DAC as it has a Screw on 1/4mm jack.

Bought these after owning the Sennheiser hd 599 and I prefer these for gaming and music. The 599 is more for reference, and does a fantastic job of doing that. These have a great alternate sound profile that makes everything sound more "fun". I pair both with a Fiio BTR5 and listening to music with Apple music, which has much higher sound quality than Spotify, sounds amazing. The sound stage really shines on apple music and proper flac and other high fidelity formats. For gaming the sound stage works wonders for competitive fps and other games where knowing what direction sounds are coming from. I wanted to experience something other than traditional gaming headsets and these blow all those away. For pc, getting a seperate mic was hardly an issue and my overall experience is so much better because of it. Nothing wrong with most gaming headsets, I still love my hyperx cloud IIs and just having everything all in one is very convenient, but if you have the means, try going this route. These being open back does mean sound will leak out and external noises around you may leak in. Both are something to consider if you share your space with another so that's to be considered. They're very comfortable and I did buy another cable since the default one was longer than I liked, but it's not necessary to buy anything else for these headphones. Very good value and they go on sale often. Oh, and yes, the pads are replaceable and there's lots of great options out there if you want to explore that.

Reason: - the jack itself sometimes needs to be moved or twisted so it can be heard from both sides - again needs to be moved to also take away the static (thought it was me on my end but it works fine with other headphones) - Great audio, long and Durable cable - Bass is what is was looking for and personally- I don’t think it was enough bass for me but the audio is crispy so it’s a plus overall - Headband and earmuffs are comfortable and very expandable (depending on the hairstyle I tend to open and stretch the band a little so it goes over and it hasn’t given any problems yet)

One of the best sounding headphones I’ve used so far because of the sound signature and I’ve always used gaming headphones mainly Astro A40/50. So when I picked this up on Black Friday deals it was a pleasant surprise to my ears. The sound stage was wider and imaging for COD which is what I mainly play was superb. The sound signature is pretty flat but that just means less base explosion in my ears and I could game longer without fatigue. But where it really shined for my is when I’m listening to HIFI music on Spotify. I got for about the same price as my Astro A40s so I was wondering why I never bought these instead all this time. Its entry level audiophile headphone but fits my budget perfect because my Astro ear pads were falling apart on me from wear and tear. Best part of this ear phone is comfortability when wearing them for extensive gaming hours.

These Hi-Res headphones truly exceeded my expectations. The sound is crystal clear, with great detail across the highs, mids, and lows. Perfect for listening to lossless audio on Apple Music and TIDAL. The build quality feels premium, and they’re surprisingly comfortable for long listening sessions. If you’re looking for reference-quality sound without breaking the bank, these are a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

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.

I have really enjoyed these headphones. They have allowed me to fully appreciate my music again and not disturb anyone else. One nice thing is that they have a 3.5mm plug and it comes with an 1/4" adapter to use with my amplifier (see photo). I may be no expert but I think they have excellent sound quality and details of sound are clear to me. The ear pieces are large enough to entirely cover my ears and comfortable enough for long periods of wearing them.

Sound on these is actually really good. The bass hits nice and the overall quality surprised me. They’re comfortable too, even after using them for a while very light. Solid headphones for the price.

Great, open soundstage. These are pretty neutral sounding, but very clear on the details and separation. I replaced my SHP9500 with these for my main gaming setup, as they weigh almost nothing and are VERY comfortable for long sessions. I use a VMODA Boompro along with a 3.5<>2.5mm adapter that I dremeled notches into, in order to bypass the locking tabs on this pair.

I've only recently taken steps to up my audio game, and holy cow do I not regret a thing! I was so used to my old apple Earpods that I thought that was what "premium" sound was. I never knew how good the music I have been listening to for years actually was. When I got these, I was blown away. I was up until 3AM listening to songs I thought I was bored with. It was like listening for the first time. I'm still a newbie, but these are even getting insanely good reviews from audiophile veterans. Just buy them. They're great. Just make sure you also have something that can power them to their fullest potential. I bought the FiiO K5 Pro AMP/DAC, and it sounds fantastic.

For a price like this, nothing beats these Sennheisers for a start. Interchangable wires, sound quality and soundstage, decent amount of OHMs for the perfect impedence balance between content creation, music production, acting work, and intensive gaming. Not to mention, with ear cups like these, their comfort can last for hours on end unlike most ear cups from headphones that eventually or swiftly cause discomfort. Would buy again if needed. And I couldnt recommend a better headphones on a max budget without fully breaking the bank if I could.

No I didn’t actually cry, but as an avid user of mid-low end headphones these are a huge step up. The open backs offer a different level of sound without sacrificing quality and precision, and after ditching my air pods a while back the fact they’re wired is great. Been rocking these almost everyday for gaming & music and they are perfect for both. Only thing is they do lack a bit on bass even with EQ software, but it’s not a huge deal. So far a great entry into the world of premium audio. 10/10

GREAT HEADPHONES FOR THE PRICE! The sound quality is similar to the 6 series, if not better. MIND YOU, the 6 series is double the price of these ones. The sound comes clean and crisp, and the distortion is very minimal because of the opening. The materials are not premium but the sound makes up for it. Ive tried the Apple headphones (499 USD) and the Beats (350 USD) and unfortunately the sound didnt make up for the price. The earcups fits nicely once you break them down. Probably the best thing is that it fits over the entire ear, so you wont be getting that painful ear pressure that other headphones give you. Overall, great headphone!

These Sennheiser headphones are great. They are what I have come to expect from this compan y's headphones. Ever since I started using them some 35 to 40 years ago when I worked as a cinematographer and audio man for public television in Miami, Florida. Their Fidelity is clear and well balanced and are comfortable to wear for long periods of time and they have a replaceable cord with both sizes of audio jacks for connection. They are a good value for the price I paid and are a quality product that feels like it will last a long time.

The sound quality on these headphones are great for my piano. Also, they are crazy comfortable. The only complaint is that you can hear things around your environment but that is also just the effect of having open headphones.

Perfect upgrade to my old HD558. Balanced sound signature with clear mids, the bass is present and not overpowering, and highs sparkle but not fatiguing. Clamping force on your head may be a bit tight at first but it does eventually loosen up after time.

About my new headphones from Best Buy. What's my Yamaha receiver has plenty of power to push them as loud as I need was incredible clarity. And the cellphone, my s twenty three ultra is not bad.Either.On the volume.

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.
