Customer Ratings & Reviews

I use these headphones every day. I use them for playing games, this is one of the best pairs of headphones I have ever had when it comes to surround sound and sound clarity. If not THE best. The quality is out of this world. I play siege and cod and any FPS you can think of as well as story based and cinematic games. Blows every headset I have ever gotten out of the water. Including my astro a-40s and 50s. hyper x cloud II's and the Logitech G pro x2 lightspeed. There is no built in mic, but I just use a stand mic.

sound quality is slightly better than the hd 650 and the price is lower, however they are not as comfortable as the hd 650. It has better bass.

I bought these to use with a surround sound DAC. I do both gaming and videos. I decided to ditch the combined mic and headsets and use these with a desk mic. The directional sound result and the sound quality with the HD560S was splendid.

Great neutral sound and very comfortable cups. The headphones feel light and don’t clamp hard after long term use, and the soundstage is great.

Great headset, haven't had any issues, really love the fit, I got big ears.

Great set of headphones. Perfect match to my DAC/Headphone amp. Good bass, excellent mids and highs. Comfortable to wear for extended periods. My second pair of Sennheiser headphones and they never disappoint. I have several quality headphones from Beyer Dynamic, Yamaha, Meze, Sony, etc. and you just can't go wrong with Sennheiser HD 5xx series.

I was in the market looking for studio headphone and thanks to the help from a Best Buy employee I was able to find some that are amazing! I am someone who loves playing video games and love to upgrade my setup to create the best set possible experience. The Senheiser-HD 560S are PERFECT from online gaming. One thing to keep in mind it took a couple days to break in the new headphones but after that the fit perfect and feel amazing after hours of gaming! I highly recommend these if you're looking for a new pair of studio headphones or looking to upgrade!

If you are looking for a nice sounding and comfortable headphones at a great price then this is it. The build quality is okay and feel cheap, but it definitely makes it up with the rich sound and superb comfortability, these are the best comfortable headphones I have ever own and I have own several, these at easy better than my V-Modas that cost more. I used them for music production and for gaming and it works great on both environments, specially when you pair it with an Audio Interface like Focusrite or Apollo Twin

Fantastic headphones. Only thing I can be nitpicky about is the lack of a port to replace the cable in case of unforseen damage. Otherwise great quality, feels great on the head, and a very affordable price for the quality.

I got these to play lossless audio through my computer and they are fantastic! I'm shocked at how detailed and lively the sound is for the price. I'm comparing to more expensive noise canceling over-ear headphones, which I no longer want to use. I listen to a wide variety of music including rock, metal, hip hop, blues and they all sound great. Bass is a bit soft compared to some popular brands but the detail allows me to pick out different drums that get muddled in other sets. Overall response is consistent with a bit of a spike at the top end of the treble range but not harsh. My only wish is that I had bought these earlier!

Very nice, good sound quality but maybe not everything I expected. Returned and bought some B&Ws.tho admittedly they were about $50 more…. Also - wasn’t really about the fabric ear pieces vs synthetic leather…

Great sound I used whith fiio q3 dac amp and iPhone 15 pro Apple Music

The HD 560S is a new headphone design for which I found favorable expert reviews with an Internet search engine (review guidelines prohibit naming other products and websites). I am using it with a MQA-enabled DAC/AMP to stream CD-quality and hi-res music from a USB port of a Windows 10 PC. It fits comfortably and performs well, particularly with hi-res music from two streaming services that I have on trial subscriptions. The open back design provides a satisfying sensation of spaciousness but unavoidably allows sound to leak both ways, so I deducted one star just as a warning. Any external sound, like a TV, will leak in and the headphone sound may be overheard by anybody nearby. It comes with only a detachable long (10 ft) cable that has a heavy 6.3mm jack (for AVR use) and a heavy 3.5 mm adapter. For use with a smartphone that has a 3.5mm stereo output port it would be better to use a short (4 ft) cable with a 3.5 mm jack. A Sennheiser rep. told me that the 1.2m cable provided with the HD 599 is suitable but they have no spares in stock for purchase now.

Can't go wrong with Sennheiser. I previously had the 280HDs and the padding feel apart after 4 years. These are definitely a step up in build quality and comfortability. A disconnectable wire is also amazing, especially because it could be strained over time like my 280HDs that did not disconnect from the wire. Dog chews it? Easy to replace for like 10 bucks (3rd party). Whether you're a casual headphone user or an audiophile, these are a great pair for anybody. Audio is very clear. Be warned that these do not noise cancel. I can hear through them very well, and while I like this, I'm sure many won't.

Very pleased with purchase. Comfortable to wear for long periods of listening. The sound it what I was looking for, very open soundstage, very low harmonic and intermodulation (non-harmonic) distortion. They are open back so not for sound isolation for background ambient noise, flat/neutral bass, as it was mixed at the console. Not for someone looking for heavy low end/club type bass. The sound is very accurate and uncolored, small details in the recording are not covered up with harmonics or unintended low frequency. Thanks!

One of the best tuned headphones ive ever heard. Would prefer if it had a bit more bass, but timbre is spot on amd treble is bright without being fatiguing. Having heard much more expensive planars from audeze, focal, and hifiman, this right here is where id mark the point of diminishing returns.

The listening experience on these are great! I never used an open back pair of headphones before and these are great.

The sound quality on these headphones are exceptional. The Sennheiser 560s deliver a rich, balanced, and immersive audio experience. Whether I'm listening to music, watching movies, or gaming, the clarity and precision of the sound are truly outstanding. The bass is deep and punchy, the mids are crisp, and the highs are crystal clear.

They sound good and feel good. Stay on ypur head well.

Bought these to game with. Had Astro a40s and steel series move pro wireless.. these are exceptional for gaming and we won’t be going back. The weight disappears on your head and there is 0 fatigue even after a long 12 hour day wearing them. The sound stage is amazing, directional is better than any gaming set I’ve ever used.
