Best entry point to wired audiophile headphones. Comfy light and don't leak that much. Tuned perfectly but don't have as much punch as I wanted so I got the momentum 4s. A steal if you can get them on sale

Switched to these after using a pair Airpods Max, and added a Sound Blaster AE-5 Plus. Set my sound to Direct Mode, and it's a new world of sound for my games and music. I highly recommend these, definitely worth the money.

Gaming, music at home or out and about you can't do much better than these. There is a reason these are very popular. Plastic build so you have to take care of them but very light weight and comfortable. And of course they sound great.

Absolutely incredible sound and comfort. 10/10 for gaming, movies, music, the entire kit and I swear the entire caboodle

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.

Incredible headphones. Whether I am using them for gaming or listening to music, these are the best headphones I have ever owned thus far. Very light construction without feeling cheaply made. Very comfortable for long periods of use.

These were my first foray into audiophile headphones and I decided to go for a decent pair of open-backs. Really love these headphones, lightweight, comfortable to wear for long periods of time, and the sound quality is great, I can distinguish layers in my favorite music that I didn't notice before.

i use to be only a noise canceling, closed back type of headphone user for gaming. i’ve never tried open back but my god i’d never go back now. the comfortability is amazing. i don’t even notice they’re on my head. don’t fall for “gaming” branded headsets. i was in search for a headset that would fit my entire ear and not scrunch them in, these are them. you won’t be disappointed if you’re wanting something that doesn’t make your head feel like you’re underwater.

These headphones are expensive, that's obvious, but they're certainly worth it. I've owned these for almost a year now and have had no problems with them. They sound amazing and make it easier to hear all the details in my music. I'd recommend these to anyone who is looking for high quality premium headphones.

Excellent audio quality ,extremely comfortable , ease of use

I'm a casual listener and needed over-the-ear headphones for watching movies on my monitor with my Blu-ray player. This is my first product from Sennheiser and the sounds are crisp, smooth, and deep. It feels like a live performance, a very close-feeling audio experience. For example, rather than just hearing one sound and then the next isolated, you get both sounds together seamlessly. Since they are open headphones, they are not noise-cancelling, but the Velour cushions create some enclosure and detachment from your surroundings. The Velour is also very comfortable and they do not hurt your head, even after a long movie marathon. The wire can be tricky sometimes. If you don't plug it in and rotate it correctly, you may get sound coming from one ear over another. When it connects, it is very rewarding to hear. I would recommend these headphones to casual and avid audiophiles, for movies, music, and gaming too.

Honestly the quality of the audio on these are really good. I was just looking for some headphones to use to hear my editing a bit better and to make sure the adult is good but this is awesome.

Comfortable, clear sounding headphones. I bought these for general computer use and gaming, they perform great. I would recommend these headphones for FPS gaming.

These are truly the best headphones I have ever owned. I have gone through dozens of pairs of headphones in my life and nothing has every come to comparison to the HD 560S. I was very surprised to be hearing instruments in such clarity and direction due to its sound stage. I can hear even hear each breath of all voices in a song! When it comes to movie watching - due to COVID, I've been watching many virtual films online and these headphones literally create the 5.1 surround surround experience because of the sound stage as well! These headphones aren't intense with bass, which I enjoy because I can also focus on the other instruments the bass sadly overpowers in other headphones! If you enjoy "blow you out of this world" bass, these headphones likely aren't for you, but I'm at this point where I will be incredibly sad if these headphones ever leave me! Especially at only a $200 price point for the professionalism it brings! S t u n n i n g.

Because they’re open-back, audio feels spacious and precise. In competitive games, this translates to excellent directional accuracy you can clearly hear footsteps, distant gunfire, or subtle environmental cues. The imaging is sharp, which gives you a real advantage when trying to pinpoint where sounds are coming from. Unlike bass-heavy “gaming” headsets, the HD 560S keeps the sound balanced and accurate. Explosions feel impactful without overwhelming

Got these for my boyfriend for Christmas and he said they’re the best headphones he has ever used! He’s a videographer and is particular about how they feel and work since he’s wearing them all day editing. Big fan!

Great sound quality! I can hear what I need to with my hf radio needs. Music is amazing as well. Being open back I can still hear if someone talk to me so I'm not startled. Seem to have a high build quality.

Great sound overall, too be expected from sennheiser. My main driver for sound, if your expecting good base then look somewhere else, these great you great highs and lows something most conventional headphones can’t bring to the table.

They are comfortable and work well for listening to music. I use this with the HD 500 microphone cable to use the headphones as a wired headset for Discord and in game voice chat.

Great sound, comfortable for long listening sessions, overall worth the money and extremely happy. I've been a long time Sennheiser user and their products NEVER disappoint. If you're thinking about getting this, don't think anymore and just get it!
