Customer Ratings & Reviews

Got these open box for a great deal. Love them. Listen to vinyl through my Yamaha amp and they sound amazing. Highly recommend. They don’t block external sound though so the room needs to be somewhat quiet.

Great entry level hifi audio headphones. Very comfortable. Great sound. Connected to audio system and pleased with the purchase.

Awesome headphones for the price. very light and open.

Greatness beyond measure for the price this blows the competition out of the water. Better cans will run you 4 figures. These maintain crystal clear quality throughout its output range even at very high volumes. I have tested several including the beyerdynamic dt series and they just didnt compare. The sennheisers have a beautiful sound signature; punchy bass that does sound mudded in addition to the fact that it doesn't overpower the other sounds. Soundstage is amazing; so much so that I use these for competitive gaming as well. *Disclaimer I'm running these with a fiio k5 pro dac amp and an equalizer (Boom audio). For you to get the most of these headphones I recommend you run them with a stack (dac and amp) or all in one solution like I have.

I just got into music production and Al who helped me picked these out did an incredible job! These are flat meaning they haven’t added bass boost and you get the purest sound to get the best out of mixing organically! Extremely comfortable too

I’ve had these headphones for a few years now. They’re amazing, great audio quality, comfortable as heck, I will definitely be buying sennheiser in the future.

Happy with it. My first real headphone buy after buying bluetooth type headphones. Big jump up in sound quality. Very clear and crisp and good clean bass. I can't really compare to much but it's comfortable and easy to drive with my schiit magni 3+. Works pretty good on my pixel 4a too.

Sennheiser once again showing the things they are capable, never fails to disappoint. They deliver in in amazing stereo imaging and a nice not too open Soundstage. But also a nice flat frequency response that delivers Clean Bass that even though not the best for applications of EDM. becomes really nice for Competitive Shooters and Detail pick up for analytical usage because of the bump up in treble also. It does take some time to get used to them. But once the clamping force goes away. And when your ears burn in to the FR of the HD 560S’s they truly become something that you find yourself coming back too.

I moved up from the Sennheiser 598's and I'm glad I did. The 560S headphones sound perfect. Not so perfect is Best Buy. I took a chance buying open box rated excellent but instead of getting the 9.8 ft cord, I got the 6 ft cord instead. Besides sound quality, I purchased the 560S for the longer cord. Best Buy should not have allowed this to happen. It wasn't worth saving $15 on the open box after having to spend $12 buying the longer cord from Geekria. Lesson learned, stick with only buying new from Best Buy.

Awesome headsets probably the most comfortable I’ve ever worn in my entire life. I think they are great quality and structure. And sound as well super crisp and I can wear for long period of time.

Excellent sound quality, fairly comfortable, the best bang for buck open back over-ear headphones you’ll find.

Awesome headphones. They are not fatiguing to wear or listen to. Good solid base and good imaging

These sound quite good for the price. Compared to my HD6XX, the soundstage seems a bit wider and the sound signature seems a bit brighter and extends further in the bass and treble. These make an excellent gaming headset. All you need is a mic, which can be just a desk mic, built in laptop mic or even a mic cable, which are pretty easy to find. Build quality is typical of the Sennheiser HD5xx series. It's not premium feeling, but I actually prefer this style of build over some more luxurious headphones as I don't feel like I need to baby them. They're pretty rugged and I'm pretty confident they'll last quite a while. I didn't notice a significant difference switching sources, so they'll sound basically the same being driven by an apple dongle, onboard audio or separate dac/amp.

great for my home studio. sounds open and free compared to others

As a newbie in the higher end audio space, I have to say I am surprised at how much of a difference these make when listening to music, and other audio sources in general. The best way to describe this I guess would be the level of DETAIL that comes through on them. You hear EVERYTHING, from the lightest cymbal hits to the sound of the pick plucking guitar strings. I didn't realize how much I was missing out on when it came to listening to music. If music is a big part of your life, you won't regret getting these. It opens your eyes to how much more is actually THERE when listening.

Great sound! Very comfortable headset. Some reviews stated that there were nubs inside the earpieces that pressed on peoples ears and became painful after long use. These nubs do not even touch my ear while wearing headphones.

Can hear everything clearly. But if girlfriend is watching tv it comes in headset and cant hear the friends on pc. Would recommend more for hearing aid option.

Excellent sound, great experience with open box item

Great headphones. Very comfortable. Good sound. I used these for music production.

Not even joking. The clarity of these headphones are amazing. I bought these originally because I read that they were great for gaming (they are), but when I first plugged them in I decided to listen to some of my favorite songs to see what the audiophile hype was about with these (I am by no means an audiophile). My god was I blown away, and still am. Up until this point, I never really understood what it meant to get lost in the music. Wanting to listen to a few songs turned into hours of listenting well into the AM, simply due to the clarity. I was discovering new sounds in songs that I’ve listened to thousands of times, and I was able to pick out individual instruments and beats that I’ve never heard before. 10/10.
