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.

- 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 Headphones for Mixers or for daily use
GREAT HEADPHONES FOR THE PRICE! The sound quality is similar to the 6 series, if not better. MIND YOU, the 6 series is double the price of these ones. The sound comes clean and crisp, and the distortion is very minimal because of the opening. The materials are not premium but the sound makes up for it. Ive tried the Apple headphones (499 USD) and the Beats (350 USD) and unfortunately the sound didnt make up for the price. The earcups fits nicely once you break them down. Probably the best thing is that it fits over the entire ear, so you wont be getting that painful ear pressure that other headphones give you. Overall, great headphone!

Gaming Audiophile Headset
Excellent Gaming Open Back (think Transparency mode on Airpods / no noise cancelling you can hear everything outside the headset) Gaming and Media consumption for the price, it is definetly worth it. Quality plastic with an aluminum band, there is no swivel join so you cant accidently break it by trying to turn the earpiece the wrong way because if you did you'd be breaking it. Comfortable over long periods of time. May get alittle warm during the summer but the light design leaves very little fatigue and the open backed nature means there is no heavy foam or materials adding to the weight on your head. The band is ok on an average sized head, no heavy clamping force. Compared to other headsets I have used, it is very similar to the HyperX Cloud 2 but definetly lighter but has no noise cancelling. A great upgrade for audio quality especially if you use a DAC as it has a Screw on 1/4mm jack.

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.
