Comfortable and sound great

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Sound qualityGreat, 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.

Excellent neutral sound
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.I would recommend this to a friendImpressive and balanced sound, especially in the mid and high ranges. Cymbals, chimes, and other high-pitched sounds sparkle wonderfully without being harsh. As is common with open backed headphones, the bass is slightly quieter than in other designs and could use an equalizer to bump it up a touch. The sound stage and overall sound quality more than makes up for this though. Comfort is good overall, although people with a wider head may want a headphone stand that keeps the band stretched to help reduce the clamping force.

My 5th sennheiser & now my reference headphone
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Sound qualityI have HD 280Pro, 558, HD25, HD443 so yeah I have good reference point when it comes to Sennheiser. The 560s come out to be the best in terms of clarity the presence in all low,mid & highs in sound frequency. I love my 558 but this 560S is a clear winner and I came with a lot of doubts but I was impressed like in 2 min I can tell difference. You don’t need to spend a lot just spend smart for your money.

Sennheiser FTW!!!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Sound qualityNot going to give a super techy review here. Suffice to say these are new Sennheiser headphones and are in HIGH demand for good reason. The sound is on par with the 600 series cans. I know that sets the bar high, but for $200 these headphones do NOT disappoint. I'm kind of a Sennheiser junky. I have the HD558, HD598, HD599, HD58X, HD600, HD6XX, HD660S and now HD560S. This headset is just as good or on par with the HD600 which is a world class headphone... no joke. Sennheiser engineering is top notch and anything made by this company is of supreme quality! Buy with confidence.

Another Execellent Sennheiser Product
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Sound qualityI am a big Sennheiser fan and this is my 9th pair of Sennheiser. Excellent audio quality. Really flat and clear sound. As with most Sennheiser headphones this produces a tight but somewhat light bass sound, so if you like pounding bass please look elsewhere. Now, the one thing that sets the HD560s apart from all the other Sennheisers I own is in its treble response. The HD560s is a lot brighter than the HD6XX, HD58X, HD518 and the HD598. If you never liked Sennheiser because of the so called Sennheiser veil this might be that pair that will change your mind. Just like the HD518 and the HD598, this HD560s is quite comfortable to be worn for long sessions. Unlike the HD58X and the HD6XX the clamping force is only about half as strong so the HD560s might fall off if you like to listen to music in a reclined position. IMO the HD560s is on par with the HD6XX and I would really recommend anyone who is interested in Sennheiser products to try this one out.

Perfect headphones for musicians.
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Sound qualityAudiophiles have their needs in headphones, but musicians have specific needs, too. Headphones need to sound good, but they need to sound revealing. In 2020, many of us have found that we need to play at home a lot more and can't turn up as much as we used to be able to, which means practicing through headphones is more important than ever. For musicians, headphones need to be comfortable, faithful, and present, and they need to interface well with gear. The HD 560S does all those things. My Roland FP-90 digital piano has very picky headphone outputs that make even nice headphones sound really poor, and this is the only headphone out of about 7-8 pairs I've tried that actually sounds good plugged into it. It seems to have no trouble with any source, whether it be practice guitar amps, a built-in headphone output, or my Audient EVO 8. The sound is not flattering for the sake of it, but it will sound good if your source is good. There's enough treble to get ASMR tingles, but not too much to where electronic music would be painful. There's definitely enough detail here to mix with, and the stereo imaging is excellent. If you get your sound good in these headphones, it will sound good on most headphones or speakers. I've always felt that open headphones in the past were easier to listen to, but that closed headphones were punchier and more exciting and therefore better to play instruments through. These headphones are different; they are punchy enough to help you feel all the extreme dynamics of a digital piano or a virtual drum set and dish it out. Very impressed.

Best Sennheiser's I have owned.
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5The best Sennheiser headphones ! I sold my 660S and HD58x after I got these. I read DMS's review on YouTube and decided to give them a shot and I am glad I did. Everything he said is what I hear. These are perfect in everyway I can think of. Bass is perfect with very good sub bass extension, mids are great like all other Sennheiser's and the top end is sweet. The mids bass bloat that most Sennheiser's have is gone on these. These scale with better quality music so if your music is low quality, these will let you know. I highly recommend these.

Q: QuestionWill I need an amp with these headphones?
Asked by Dany.
- A:Answer This headphone has an 120ohm impedance level. Although you can certainly run off a nice smart phone, it's recommended to get a amp for optimal performance.

Q: QuestionWhen will these be available for purchase and will I be able to find them in store?
Asked by Boozebreath.
- A:Answer I was forced to purchase online. Although it was to be shipped/delivered within two weeks it only took two days. Due to demand for this item I would recommend checking BB frequently and purchasing the moment you see availability. These are selling like hotcakes and for good reason... sound is nothing short of amazing!

Q: QuestionWhen will this be back in stock?
Asked by jb.
- A:Answer I watched it go in and out of stock myself. Hard to say when inventory will be available again, but recommend checking back periodically and purchasing immediately. Demand is VERY high for this headphone and for good reason. Sound is up there with HD6 series cans. Amazing sound! #sennheiserFTW
