Initially my comparison was against the hd560s that they had lying around and once i tried them i was underwhelmed, it was clean but too clinical and didnt really feel good.

As a discerning pup, I recently tried the Sennheiser HD 560 headphones, and let me tell you, they’re paw-sitively amazing! The comfort level is off the leash! ... Now, the sound quality is woof-onderf

For me the 560s is the entry point for what a good headphone should be, for less than its price I would buy iems. Cheap, good sound, neutral and drivable by most of the dac/amp that are usually recomm

HD 550 costs $250 on Amazon, $110 more than the HD 560S, I doubt that difference is worth it

One thing to maybe consider if is whether or not you have a loud pc while gaming, as you’ll be able to clearly hear it through open back headphones. I had a shitty loud CPU cooler which I originally d

Now I’m using the 560s with a standalone USB mic and it’s great.

They are excellent and the bass is crisp and good. If you want more bass, all you have to do is download equalizer and boost it. Clarity and accurate + wide soundstage is awesome.

On a DF reference the 560S bass looks closer to neutral, which is what Sennheiser has clearly aimed for.

If you game on PC, it’s like made for that. If you are not a bass head, it’s neutral like bass is what you want because it’s lean, clean, and never in the way of other frequencies.

560S to my ears has more bass than 600 or 6XX, more sub bass to be specific. ... the 560S eq'd with a bass shelf can sound similar to the 550 at a lower cost.

Potential problem: you have above-average-sized ears. 🙂

According t users Sennheiser HD 560s is a good headphone, so i am thinking to buy one. Now many users told that it doesn't feel premium
r/headphonespositive6
the HD560S were definitely the sweet spot where quality and $ budget crossed. My ears honestly didn’t find anywhere near enough difference between the HD560S and several of its much more expensive bro

I have a pair of 560s as well. They were my only headphones for a while. I just got a pair of closed backs imo they beat the 560s (open back) (for my preferences)
