Sennheiser - HD 560S Wired Open Aire Over-the-Ear Audiophile Headphones - Black

Ill keep it short and sweet, these are IT right here people. You only need an AMP but i recommend getting a DAC as well for these puppies. For $200 these are a STEAL, the level of clarity in all the ranges are 10 fold better then any headphone I've ever owned (Steel series, JBL, etc). (Currently running a Monolith Liquid Spark AMP and a Schiit Modi 3 DAC) With the Liquid Spark the bass is so warm and inviting but not overtaking, the mids and highs still punch their way through very nicely. I hear NO static or weird issues with the drivers, these are some quality headphones and they are going to sell like mad. The comfort level is on par with any of the most expensive headphones, the padding is VERY plush and soft and sits comfortably on my head all day. The clamping force is in between medium and high, its a good in- between. The only 2 downsides i can really see with these atm is the headphone's overall are made out of plastic(quality plastic, but plastic non the less, and it feels like it.) They don't feel the up most durable but they are not flimsy what so ever, Sennhieser doesn't make crap. The high range can sometimes feel a little overwhelming and loud at times, but not enough to be a turn off.

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!

I've only recently taken steps to up my audio game, and holy cow do I not regret a thing! I was so used to my old apple Earpods that I thought that was what "premium" sound was. I never knew how good the music I have been listening to for years actually was. When I got these, I was blown away. I was up until 3AM listening to songs I thought I was bored with. It was like listening for the first time. I'm still a newbie, but these are even getting insanely good reviews from audiophile veterans. Just buy them. They're great. Just make sure you also have something that can power them to their fullest potential. I bought the FiiO K5 Pro AMP/DAC, and it sounds fantastic.

One of the best headphones u can get out there! The imaging and clarity on these are one of the best, and the sound stage is just the right amount, nothing too crazy like the hd800s, so anyone can enjoy this baby's sound signature. It's one of the perfect headphones to start your audiophile jouney!

Great, 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.

I was looking for a headset to replace my JVC HARX700 (costs only $40). I have been using it for gaming, music, and videos for 9 years, and still blows away the newest $100 surround sound gaming headsets on the market. I would say the HD560s is the open ear version of the JVC HARX700 but with way better clarity and imaging. The soundstage is just the best I have heard especially using spatial audio or SBX Surround vs all the virtual surround headsets I have heard. Even having all the effects off just brings a clean flat eq. The impedance is 120ohms, but the volume on my Surface Pro 8 at level 20 is a good sound level that doesn't leak much on the outside at night. At level 50 the sound is really loud, but still clear. You might need an amp and DAC for devices that can't handle it. Of course, it's an open headset so you can hear everything so if you are in a noisy environment, I do not recommend getting these. If you are like me, you can get a closed and open headset. If you get a closed make sure it's tuned flat eq so the sound is more natural, and then you can adjust it the way you like. Bass is not overpowering and it's clean to the point that you can feel the punch which I like. The mids are decent while the highs are sharp and clear. But it does beat out $200 virtual surround headsets imo. You can hear where the footsteps are coming from in Halo Infinite. You can't go wrong with budget headphone like these

and you are not in need of a headset mic then this is the product for you. In fact this is such a good all around headphone that it can be used for anything; music, movies, games etc. Sennheiser makes some of the best audio products. Prior to this I was using the PC38X. I still love that gaming headset and I use it for conference calls because of the mic. The HD560S however has better sound stage and imaging. I love the audio from Rage 2. When playing that game I can hear the water dripping in the sewers. These EQ well. I found the bass a little lacking. By just adjusting some EQ it took me a couple of seconds to get the perfect sound. Mids and highs are excellent out of the box. Lastly, the notorious Sennheiser clamping force. Sennheiser's always tend to be a little tight around the head. These are the tightest pair of headphones I own. I definitely like a little clamp, but these are a little more than I would desire. I've returned headphones in the past for being too loose so clamping is important. The force on these are not a deal breaker, but if you tend to have a large head than be aware. These are super light weight and made out of plastic so I'm not sure if stretching them out can crack them. Overall I love these headphones. For what you are getting at this price point I have nothing but positive things to say about these. I highly recommend.

Words can't really do this headphone justice. It's the definition of balance. The only thing lacking from it is build quality; it has a slightly cheap plastic feeling to it. Aside from that- it checks every mark. To me, comfort and audio are the most important aspects of a headphone. The sound is very balanced, and if you're worried about it not having enough bass then don't be; it's not lacking by any means. They have some solid punch to them. Not as much as, perhaps, the Momentum 3, but the Momentum sounds a bit more compressed by comparison. My only issue is that they sounded a bit quiet out of the box. I had it plugged into the front panel IO of my computer; and it was getting only to about 80% of where I wanted it to go. I was going to begin messing with EQ settings; but when I plugged the headphones into the back of my El Gato Wave 3 they suddenly sounded much louder and more present. I think perhaps my microphone is delivering more power to it or running it through a different sound card or something. (I'm not sure exactly what fixed it, just that it was fixed). Being given the right amount of power to do its job, these headphones will present to you a very balanced and quality audio experience. I am going to also be purchasing the Skullcandy Crusher Evo to complement these.
