Review: Great cans. Worth the price. - Great quality cans with good soundstage. Lacking on the lows particularly for movies, music and gaming but still a great listening experience. Not the best choice if you’re a bass lover, but there’s enough for me and I’m a DnB enjoyer. Purchased these at MSRP so was initially disappointed with the plastic as build quality felt a little poor, but they’ve lasted 3 years with a few bumps, drops and snags so can’t really complain. Recently one of the pad covers has started to come away which is unfortunate as the warranty is only 2 years. Still useable and still comfortable though so not a problem for me (love the pad cover material). For reference I have these running through a PreSonus Revelator io24 but have used other DACs and interfaces no problem - I prefer the Revelator for my microphone.
Review: From a gamer, AMAZING! But... - I LOVE these headphones! the audio quality of these was simply in another league. I went from a set of cloud 2s that died, to some IEMs and while great for music the IEMs just didn't cut it for me for tac fps games like Valorant. I got these for the wider sound stage from the open back design and was simply blown away, not only could I tell if footsteps were coming from left, right, behind and Infront but with these I was able to notice how high enemies were way better! Heaven campers didn't go unnoticed anymore! This is something I never noticed on other headsets/earphones. For music these are simply fantastic, keep in mind these are reference headphones, don't expect amazing bass etc from these. An EQ will help with this if you want a different sound signature for music. They are also extremely comfortable and light on the head making extended gaming sessions that much nice As an FYI, I unfortunately had to return these :(. I use a dynamic microphone for discord/game coms and even so, the sound leakage into the microphone was terrible and I was getting complaints from people being able to hear their own voice being fed back through the mic or being able to hear what I was listening to, this is not a fault of the headphones in anyway, it is just the nature of open back headphones, you have nothing to stop the sound from escaping. Keep this in mind if you don't want to disturb others in your room/house while using these as well. If this sounds like it wont bother you then absolutely buy these, you will not regret it! Another highly recommended headset is the Beyerdynamic 990 Pro, however, also open back so would have the same issues. In my case I switched to the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 Ohm) which is essentially just the closed back version of the 990's and they are are great alternative to the Sennheiser.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what would be the best way to go about cleaning the HD 560S padding?**
A: I use a small amount of mild soap and warm water. Use a micro fiber cloth to gently wipe clean and leave over night to dry.

**Q: Can you get a replacement coiled cable for the HD 560s, if so where?**
A: I just wanted to say for future buyers - "As the cable is not removable the answer is probably no, but has it occurred to you to ask Sennheiser? They do have customer service you know." - This guy is wrong, they are designed to be removable, I have replaced the cable myself for a shorter one. I got it from Amazon, "1.5m Replacement Audio upgrade Cable For Sennheiser HD595 HD598 HD558 HD518 Headphones"

**Q: Are these compatible with samsung phones with usb c connection?**
A: Yes as long as you use an adaptor (usbc to 3.5mm)

**Q: I'd like to use these for running, can that work if I buy a shorter cable for them? Where can I get a (e.g. 1.2m) cable?**
A: I don't know why people keep saying this - "The cable is captive and cannot be removed from the headphones." - but you can replace the cable, easily, you need to twist it, it locks in. As for running, these headphones would be ruined by your moisture, they are designed for an armchair, not running.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ H560s Can do it all - Gaming, Movies and Music. Without costing a fortune.
*by M***B on 26 March 2025*

As someone who is a casual gamer, enjoys watching movies and listening to music, I wanted a pair of headphones that would provide good sound quality, as well as being comfortable to wear for long periods of time. I had done a lot of research when looking at headphones to buy, the main 2 I saw were the DT990 Pro (Closed Back) and these 560s (Open Back). As someone who had never had open back headphones, I never really understood what it meant by a wider soundstage and feeling airier. After using these for a few months I must say I was blown away, the open back style does give a great feeling that the sound is around you, rather than the sound coming from next to your ears, the headset is comfy to wear, light and well adjustable. There is some clamping at first, but this is to be expected, and they will eventually loosen, or you can rest them on something for a few hours to stretch the headband. Overall, they do everything I need, prodividing good bass, nice treble, and generally being a great pair of headphones for movies, games and music. The price is great, I got mine on sale for £100 but I would argue that even when not on sale they are still worth their money. I have not tried them on a mobile device, but straight to my PC they work well without the need of an AMP. The cable is a decent enough size, the headset itself seem sturdy whilst being lightweight, so it seems to tick all the boxes. If you are planning to purchase these headphones, I would suggest looking at audio software to use to better ehance the sound. There are simple guides online (I use Peace with a preset I found) and it enhances the sound, but straight out of the box they're great sounding. The downside is that being open back if you are in a busy area they will not block out the external sound, but this is not an issue for me but is something to consider.
