  • The one to beat
These are outstanding headphones at any price, and an unbelievable value at their typical ~$150 street price. I'm a recovering headphone addict and these have been good enough to help me stay sober. I think if your budget is up to $300 and you don't want to fuss around with amps and DACs and other gear considerations, these are probably the best "plug 'em into anything" headphones I've ever owned. They're light, they're comfortable for average-sized heads (though see more below), and they sound great playing any content from any source. Highlights: - Value: I've owned a lot of headphones (including perennial darlings like the HD600+650 and Audio-Technica ATX-M50 and higher-end stuff like the Audeze LCD-X and Focal Clear) and honestly, the headphone world is a perfect case study for the Law of Diminishing Returns. In other words, you can spend $150 on the 560S and get 75% of the sound quality that's even possible, or spend $1500 to get to like 85%. For most people, this is the sane stopping point. - Weight: the all-plastic build lets these float on your head at 280g (9.9 oz). For comparison, the Hifiman Sundara (another highly regarded pair of <$300 headphones) weighs 379g (13.4 oz). Three ounces may not sound like much, but over the course of hours, you really feel every ounce that's sitting on your head. - Easy to drive: I use these plugged directly into a PS5 controller and they get plenty loud at roughly 50-60% volume. I've tried them with different combinations of amps and DACs as well, but such gadgets are totally unnecessary to get the most out of the 560S. - Perfect audio for gaming: the wide soundstage is great, as is the sharp treble for picking out things like voices, footsteps, and gunfire. These are very popular with FPS players, and I can see why. I don't play PvP games, but they've saved me from many a cheap off-camera attack with their amazing positional audio cues. The nicest surprise on these is the bass, which is meatier than you'd expect for open-backed headphones. Unfortunately, because of the proprietary cable jack, I had to buy a kooky adapter (ASIN: B07Z2MPW61) so I could use the V-Moda BoomPro mic I had lying around for voice chat. The overall setup is a bit klunky but almost certainly outperforms popular gaming headsets. - Surprising noise isolation: these are by no means going to block out the outside world like a pair of closed-back headphones, but there are enough layers of stuff inside them between the grille and your ear that you're not going to hear everything around you with them on. Lowlights: - Oddball connector: I despise proprietary connectors, and Sennheiser's 2.5mm recessed jack with a twist lock is one of the most obnoxious on the market. What they lose in compatibility with other cables is by no means gained in security—who cares if your headphones unplug at the earcup when subjected to intense force? - Not very comfortable for big heads and big ears: although the design of these is generally compared to the HD500 line, having owned the absurdly comfortable HD598SE, I can say these don't come close. They clamp kind of hard and worse, the earpad foam is thin and when it flattens out (immediately), it presses the driver units against the cartilage of my ears. Fortunately, I was able to modify these with some third-party 3d-printed adapter rings so I could use bigger, cushier pads from Brainwavz. Now I can use them for 4+ hours without major discomfort. This may not be an issue if you don't have big ears like I do. Also worth noting is that some styles of glasses will be agony with these. - Not as nice for music: the things that make them perfect for games (accentuated high frequencies) make them a riskier proposition for music. Your mileage may vary, of course, but these can be pretty spicy for certain instruments and effects. All in all, despite the added hassles and costs to make these comfortable for my anatomy, I'm still very happy with them and don't think I could do better for my use case (plugged directly into PS5 controller with an inline mic) at any price. For their usual price of $150-180, I can't see what anyone could complain about. Thanks for reading! ... show more

  • Impressive sound quality and comfort
I recently purchased the Sennheiser 560s headphones, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with their performance. These headphones have quickly become my go-to choice for usage and recommending to friends. I have used a wide variety of headphones ranging from Turtle Beach to Astro, Steelseries to RIG and this has all of those beat by a landslide. The audio quality is so crisp I can hear sounds in music and video games I have not heard with other headsets/headphones. 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. These headphones bring out details in my music that I had never noticed before, making every listening session a delight. One of the standout features of the Sennheiser 560s is their comfort. The plush ear cushions and lightweight design allow for extended listening sessions without any discomfort or fatigue. I can wear these headphones for hours on end, and they remain comfortable throughout. The adjustable headband ensures a secure fit, and the open-back design provides excellent breathability, preventing any build-up of heat during long sessions. Build quality is another area where Sennheiser has excelled. The headphones feel solid and durable, and the detachable cable adds to their convenience. The included 6.35mm adapter is a nice touch for those who wish to use these headphones with a variety of audio sources. Additionally, the Sennheiser 560s offer a wide soundstage, making them a great choice for gaming and movies. I can accurately pinpoint the direction of sounds in games, adding to my overall gaming experience. In conclusion, the Sennheiser 560s are a fantastic pair of headphones that deliver exceptional sound quality, comfort, and versatility. Whether you're an audiophile, gamer, or someone who simply appreciates great audio, these headphones are an excellent choice. While they may be a bit of an investment, the audio experience they provide is well worth it. I highly recommend the Sennheiser 560s to anyone in search of top-notch headphones. Myself, my wife, and my daughter use these sennheiser 560s and they would say the exact same thing. ... show more

  • Awesome mid-range headphones
Well, my first pair of headphones were the Presonus HD7. HD560s sounds more neutral than HD7 and less bright, much more comfortable. The difference between both are noticeable. Electronic music is less fun to listen due to its frequency response, but stil sounds very good in genres like deep music. The cord is less than 2 meters long and sometimes i have problems when attaching/plug in the cable. Great value headphones! ... show more
