With linear acoustics tailored to extended listening sessions and smooth, gratifying bass performance, the HD 560S was crafted for the analytical audio enthusiast. Today’s audiophiles monitor music with measured purpose on various devices, like headphone amplifiers, audio interfaces, and computers. The HD 560S delivers the linear performance required by audio enthusiasts at a breakthrough value, allowing the listener to have an honest look inside their music. Open-back design provides natural propagation of sound waves The E.A.R. (Ergonomic Acoustic Refinement) angled driver alignment recreates the optimal triangular listening position you find in hi-fi loudspeaker setups. This combination creates a wide, articulate soundstage without the need for room treatment, letting you hear the neutral version of your music. A paradigm shift for open, dynamic headphones Signature sound The HD 560S transducers are specifically tuned for accuracy, offering dependable A/B comparisons of components, remasters, and media formats. Comfort is king A headphone this neutral deserves a distraction-free fit and a "barely there" feel. The velour earpads were carefully considered to keep all contact points soft to the touch. The open, around-ear design offers benefits beyond sound—the ventilated cup remains cool without touching the wearer's ears.

Its analytical sound covers the full frequency range, making all details audible while emphasizing the high frequencies. The HD 560S highlights each nuance and allows you to pinpoint the direction of any sound.

Review: Can't be beat for its price! - Build Quality: all plastic but is known to last, very light too. Comfort: a bit tight at first but once it breaks in you forget its even on the head. Earpads are quite soft and whole headphone is breathable. Sound: can be considered neutral or flat, it does have a slight bump in the treble but nothing that's peaky or sibilant ( i have sensitive ears and can feel sibilance quite easily). Generally EQ friendly but does not like too much bass boost and the drivers wont handle it, overall great sound for the price (for gaming its top tier). I only returned this headphone because i upgraded to a Sennheiser HD490 Pro.
Review: Worth the price.If you are a beginner audiophile then this is perfect . - highly recommended.you can hear so much details in songs with comparing Sony M4s .Once your ear gets used to it you feel to hear so much details which you never heard it before .and of course you must need to select a HQ music source and better pair with a DAC/AMP for better performance .

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do these compare to the 58x and 6xx?**
A: I have all three.
The HD 6XX has the highest technical performance out of all three, and has the best dampening and least distortion. It’s tuning came from the studio-monitor like HD 600 sound, but the treble was intentionally reduced a bit so that mixing professionals or music enthusiasts could listen for hours and hours with less fatigue, and there’s just a bit more midbass to sound more like a home speaker system. So it has less sensation of “air,” but the drivers are quite articulate and detailed, also most people’s brains acclimate to the sound quickly so it sounds “normal” and pros can make mixing decisions based off it. The HD 6XX is a visual variant of the HD 650, and overall it is one of the most common HiFi headphones ever and a good reference point that has been compared to pretty much everything else. If I could describe the HD 6XX in one word, it would be “beguiling.”

The HD 560S is close behind the HD 650 in technicalities, with almost as much detail, and very low distortion. The HD 560S’ slightly smaller driver is also more efficient and needs less power to sound good, though the 120 Ω impedance is like a sweet spot that helps with some dampening and stability in amplifier operation, while being a bit less impedance than the 300 Ω HD 6XX. The longer, 1/4” terminated cable is great for listening to a TV or turntable while you sit in a comfy chair, but it also includes the best kind of 1/4” to 3.5mm adapter to prevent damage to your equipment. Things get interesting when you consider the HD 560S’ driver is set at a 9° angle, meant to interact with your outer ear more, and also the HD 560S has more treble “air” than the HD 6XX, so it’s easier to hear positional directions and recording venue acoustics... the HD 560S has better soundstage than the other two. Overall, the HD 560S is tuned closer to a studio monitor speaker, and maintains its deepest sub bass more than the other two, but has also the most linear sound... it sounds the most “reference” like a studio monitor speaker.

The HD 58X has an enclosure and flat-angle like the HD 6XX, and a driver size and impedance like the HD 560S, but it is the most “fun” sounding of the three, also the least expensive. A short cable, efficient to drive, more bass and treble to excite you, the HD 58X is lively and ready to immediately bring you a lot of fun. In one word, I think the HD 58X is “Perky!”

YMMV, hopefully from my description you can decide which appeals to you the most. I know it’s tough since they’re all between $180 and $220. Personally, I’ve been using the HD 560S the most lately, but it’s also the newest, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

**Q: How much do they weigh? How long can you wear these before getting a hotspot on your head?**
A: Without cable, they weigh only 240g.
That is unusually light for a full sized over ear headphone. To further prevent a hot spot from forming at the usual spot at the top of your head, the HD 560S have a gap where the headband doesn’t touch the top of your head, instead distributing the weight to the sides and some to the earcup clamp. The clamp is snug... you won’t exactly forget that they’re there, but they won’t slip around, and the padding is pretty soft. I will literally wear these all day for 8 hours or so, though I give my ears a break from sound every hour or so (that’s just good hearing health!).

**Q: Can I plug these into my phone and get good sound? If not, how is it for Xbox gaming?**
A: These are efficient: you will get good volume out of most sources. Yes, you can use them out of an Xbox console controller.

However, the HD 560S are also high quality. You will be able to hear how much better an iPhone dongle can drive headphones than an Xbox controller. Also, the HD 560S stock cable is very long, with a 1/4” plug and a (very good) 1/4” to 3.5mm mini plug ponytail adapter.

Xbox controllers are limited... out of their $60 or so purchase cost, most of the parts cost goes to the button input electronics and wireless transmission, with only a tiny fraction going towards audio parts. Also, wireless requires some audio compression. Lastly, very little battery power is spared to power headphones.

In summary, yes you can use it with an Xbox controller out of the box, but you will have a much better experience if you use the HD 560S’ long cable to your benefit and plug it into your TV or AVR/receiver instead.

**Q: What country are these made in?**
A: They’re an international headphone, haha. The transducers (aka drivers or headphone speakers) are made in Sennheiser’s exclusive Ireland factory, pads are from Germany, enclosure and final assembly is in China. They are triple-checked for QC throughout production and just before being packaged for retail and shipping.
