Q: QuestionWill I need an amp with these headphones?(3 answers)
A: AnswerThis 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.Answered by Kewster
Q: QuestionDoes this headphone have a built-in microphone?(4 answers)
A: AnswerThis does not have a built in microphone.Answered by Alex
Q: QuestionCan these also be used as a Bluetooth headset?(5 answers)
A: AnswerThese are wired headphones and do not support Bluetooth. However, converting headphones to make them Bluetooth compatible is a different story and possibility. You might want to find similar quality headphones from Sennheiser that also have Bluetooth capabilities.Answered by BattyBelfry
- A: Answer“Loudness” from headphones come from the impedance (measured in ohms) of the product and whatever you are using to drive it. The HD560s comes in at 120 ohms of impedance (Apple earbuds have an impedance of 32 ohms). If you want to play these loudly, I would recommend getting an amplifier or DAC.

Answered by Gary
- A: AnswerThe headphones have a 6.3mm jack with a 3.5mm adapter in the box. They will work. However, I have trouble driving them from my phone, so you may need an amplifier to get the desired volume. They are not designed for mobile devices as they are analytical studio headphones.

Great for gaming and music.
Bought these after owning the Sennheiser hd 599 and I prefer these for gaming and music. The 599 is more for reference, and does a fantastic job of doing that. These have a great alternate sound profile that makes everything sound more "fun". I pair both with a Fiio BTR5 and listening to music with Apple music, which has much higher sound quality than Spotify, sounds amazing. The sound stage really shines on apple music and proper flac and other high fidelity formats. For gaming the sound stage works wonders for competitive fps and other games where knowing what direction sounds are coming from. I wanted to experience something other than traditional gaming headsets and these blow all those away. For pc, getting a seperate mic was hardly an issue and my overall experience is so much better because of it. Nothing wrong with most gaming headsets, I still love my hyperx cloud IIs and just having everything all in one is very convenient, but if you have the means, try going this route. These being open back does mean sound will leak out and external noises around you may leak in. Both are something to consider if you share your space with another so that's to be considered. They're very comfortable and I did buy another cable since the default one was longer than I liked, but it's not necessary to buy anything else for these headphones. Very good value and they go on sale often. Oh, and yes, the pads are replaceable and there's lots of great options out there if you want to explore that.

I noticed the difference
I used a pair of wireless logitech Gaming headset and they were really good, but I always hated having to charge them so I figured I'd go and buy some nice new headphones that were wired and saw that these were recommended especially since the more extensive ones really start to see diminishing returns (unless you spend 2 grand) and I gotta say they are great! Music and games sound amazing and I love the wider stage it provides. Though the caviot is that base is lost ALOT so if you like base, these would probably leave you feeling some kind of way. I did at first too, until I got used to the lower base. I know people tweak their audio, but I'm no audiophile. Just a dude who games on occasion.

Good headphones for music and gaming
Great set of headphones. Good sound stage and works well for music and gaming with discord. Clamp force is a little tight but can be stretched by putting over books or something.
