Review: Settled on these and loved them - Pros: Love how it sounds, very comfortable once it's broken in while staying secure enough for headbanging, 2.5mm lock-in to 3.5mm with 1/4in adapter aux cable is mercifully replaceable, stock cable lasted 2 and a half years before beginning to cut out (be careful to not just buy regular plain 3.5mm to 3.5mm aux replacement cables), came with screw-in adapter that happens to be perfect for my 1/4 inch aux system, lock-in mechanism works well. Cons: Bass has to be bumped up pretty high on eq if you hate quiet bass (and probably isn't for you in general if that's what you want out of it), stock cable doesn't get knotted up but it does get twisted up, if you aren't aware, open-back means that for what you main gain in sound you will lose in privacy: there is significantly more sound leakage than regular closed back headphones. Overall: Love the sound and comfort of these things. So far, no sign of them breaking anytime soon unlike my first half-decent headphones, the SHP9500, which eventually broke apart and had issues with being too loose to stay on head. If you buy these, I recommend stretching them over a textbook or something overnight to skip the initial tightness of the headband. Do not buy if you love a loud bass or dislike sound leakage.
Review: Neutral Mixing and Mastering Hero - TL;DR? The Sennheiser HD 560 S are extremely comfortable, lightweight, and easy to wear all day, with a secure fit that settles in nicely over time. Sonically, they offer outstanding value around $200 with an exceptionally neutral, well-balanced sound, wide soundstage, and strong resolution—making them excellent for critical listening, mixing, and mastering. --- These headphones are simply fantastic! For me, maybe the easiest headphones I have ever worn "all day." The clamp pressure is a bit tight out of the box, but not TOO tight. They WILL loosen up over time, so if you're sensitive to clamp, you might find yourself needing to "break them in." On some over-ear headphones, I can struggle in finding that "this is where they sit on my head" position. Beyerdynamic Headphones can sound great, but it can be annoying fiddling with how they sit on your head until you find the "just right" position. The HD560s? Easy. Put them on, adjust, and you're good to go! The materials here are what you expect! The earpads and headband are soft enough to comfortable, but firm enough to provide support. If you use them CONSTANTLY, you will eventually need to replace the earpads (1-2 years). The plastic is high quality, and there are nearly no metal parts. With that in mind: you could break these if you tried, but the plastic shouldn't fall apart any time soon. This makes them VERY lightweight, which is fantastic for comfort! SOUND: the single most important aspect of this product. These sounds good. Really Really good. I would argue that this is potentially the best sound you can get around $200. These are extraordinarily well-balanced. What does that mean? It means they are very very neutral. They are not hyped, they are not "exciting." They are perfect for checking a mix and more critical listening. These have enough resolution to pick out fine adjustments in sound (like slight tube saturation). The soundstage is wide without being "too much," allowing for a solid depiction of the "Stereo Image" without adding additional confusion. Overall? They sound incredible! Very Neutral; not too "warm," just the right amount of balance for critical listening. Overall? These are a fantastic choice for mixing and mastering. You can certainly use them for every day tasks as well, but some of the "punchy" or "crunchy" music might feel a little "anemic" under the microscope of the HD 560 S headphones. These are a true neutral. If you want to check balance? Pick these! The only scenario I have ever found myself "reaching for something else" is grabbing my Beyerdynamic DT 900 Pro X headphones for better resolution/ detail in the high frequency. The 900 Pro X are not as neutral (or wide) as the HD 560 S, but their additional top-end extension makes them solid for "sanity checking" high frequency information. For tracking and monitoring, I would reach for something else (ATH-M40x or DT770 (maybe the DT 900 Pro X, they are basically semi-open back)).

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s like listening to your favorite songs for the first time.
*by U***H on July 30, 2024*

My Use Cases: - Gaming ~50% - YouTube/TV ~25% - Listening to or analyzing Music ~15% - Podcasts and audiobooks ~ 10% Praiseworthy Comments: - Most (I say most because some songs just sound too harsh) music is well balanced, with every instrument distinguishable and vibrant. I love listening to music in these, and if I have live recordings that I’m editing they help me pick out every listless detail with ease. - FPS games with a focus on awareness sound crisp, clear and atmospheric. I can’t comment to how the sound stage compares to other headphones, but I had the HyperX Cloud II’s before this and I would say they are similar. Being able to pick out details more clearly on the 560S really gives it the edge though. - I can barely feel it on my head. It is so light and it really is comfortable to me. I don’t think the clamping pressure is too big and I have more of a round head. ** I can play a video or a podcast while I’m playing a game and I’m able to distinguish both audio sources. I couldn’t do this on my Cloud II’a as they were just too muddy and I couldn’t hear either well. For me this is actually really huge as I play casual games, or sweaty games and I like listening to a podcast, news, or YouTube. - they look nice. Really simple aesthetic. Not bulky, wide, or different colors/textures. Noteworthy Criticisms: - the treble clarity and levels were overwhelming at first. I turned down the volume a good amount but my ears were tuned to different headphones. My Cloud II’s used some pleather ear pads and the bass was a bit stronger because they were closed back. The 560S is so open back you can hear yourself talk while listening to music. So the sound is just different from the cloud II’s. - I tried some “sheep skin” ear pads with these headphones and the clarity was lost. I got used to the clarity of the lows, mids and treble and I had a hard time adjusting to the sheep skin pads. I’ll try them again, and I’ll play around with the EQ but idk if I’ll want to switch from the velour. - even though they look good they feel cheap. I am going to take care of these, but I don’t necessarily think plastic can take a beating like metal components can. They will stay at my desk at all times so I’m not worried. - lack of lower end bass. You can hear the bass, the tone of the bass, and they clarity of the notes but there aren’t a lot of sub frequencies pushing through. I like this now, but it took some time to adjust. - no mic for gaming. I hardly meet anyone online anymore anyways, (sadly) so doesn’t change much for me. Final Thoughts: For $140 it’s hard to go wrong with these if your looking for a set with mid range audio quality. They are light, have a clean aesthetic, have ample clarity, and can be EQ’d (if that’s your thing) to some degree. I would recommend this to someone that analyzes their audio, or more specifically you are paying attention to a lot of different details in whatever it is you are listening to. Don’t buy these if you just want a pair of gaming headphones or you don’t know what is best for you. You may not like the sound.
