Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

One of the best pair of headphones I've ever heard. Heard it called the 800S's little brother, but I haven't heard that headphone yet. I think out of all the ones I own so far (HD 660S, PC37X, PC38X, and HD 599), this is tied for first. For $200 it's a steal. On sale feels like armed robbery. Buy them.

I bought these for gaming and just general music listening. I'm not an audiophile and don't have lots of experience with high end equipment these are probably the most high end headphones I've ever used. I have a small amp and with it I can most certainly hear the crisp mids and lows there isn't a lot of bass although it still is present but I appreciate the clean sound it has

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 headphones have been out for 20 years, nothing has really changed sbout them because theyre quite literally the bes flat headphones yoy can get under $200.

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.

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

good for gaming, easily hear footsteps of enemies.

Really solid headphones! Good sound quality and they feel great. If you really care about audio then i think these are a good pick

I got these on a bit of a sale when I bought them which I am glad about but these are amazing. They are super neutral which I enjoy and I havent had any issues. I think for PC usage they need a amp to get the full experience but other than that these are phenomenal and super comfortable.

best headphones at a fair price. so comfortable with clarity!

This is the best entry level audiophile headphone money can buy

I get this open box in good condition at $70 sound great, but I don't know if i recommend it at regular price.

Nice sounding headphones. But they lack base, sound kinda soft and need an amp to sound better. But great quality and light.

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.

Honestly one of the best pairs of head phones I have ever owned especially for the money! Pros: Great soundstage, great bass, balanced sound, comfortable, easy to drive. Cons: I wish it used a mini-XLR connector, and I wish it came with a balanced cable.

headphones have a great base and the sound is flawless. I brought them to play Warzone and you can hear footsteps perfectly. super lightweight and don't bother your ears since they have a big cup.

I bought it quite cheap, did not expect much, but it is perfect. I believe, only if I bought it brand new, it would be better. And the headphones is great for any kind of music.

the audio quality is amazing. i use them for music and gaming. just remember they're open-back headphones, so any outside noises can be heard if loud enough. they're also extremely light, and don't feel as if you're wearing any over the head, headphones.
