Sennheiser Hd 560S Over-The-Ear Wired Audiophile Over Ear Headphones-Neutral Frequency Response,Lifelike Sound with Open-Back Design,Wide…

I have recently bought this headphone, also i have 650 parallel. One thing i understood after using these cans both A & B. These both are parallely good in their own world having their own charateristic, though 650 twice the amount, it does meant that it should be better than 560S. Also, 650 has few things which 560 lacks. Both are kinda different feel and winner in their own segment.
I tried both with Mac M1 Air 2020:
560S:
Drivability: Easily you can drive and has enough power to volume up fully.
Sound: Has wider sound stage than 650 for sure, sounds broader and wider. This is flat sound by default, some feel it is boring, but the advantage is you can hear for longer time without fatiguing.
Comfort: This is best comfort headphone i have ever tried, this is not too tight as 650 rather not too loose as HIFI man editions. This is correct tight, so you can lay your head in pillow and hear.

650:
Drivability: At 100% volume, yes it drives. but still external AMP is needed. (if you are having Mac Book Pro 2021+ model, you no need to buy external amp, I tried this 650 with my friend MBP 2021 model, it drives flawless and we even compared it with Fiio K5, i can confidently say MBP is enough to get the juice of 650).

Sound:
1. Has better mid and clarity on compared with 560S
2. Sound stage is little narrow when compared with 560S
3. In terms of Imaging this is winner than 560S and i think extra bucks matters here.
4. Since this has strong mid(senneheiser is known for this). you will get fatiguing little easier than 560S.

Comfort:
Has tight clamping force so less comfort than 560S but it gives very little advantage in sound isolation though this is Open back.

Conclusion:
if you are short of money to buy external AMP, then 560S is the best open back headphone in this range.
If you can afford more money to buy external AMP + balanced cable + likes senneiheiser signature, then 650 does its job for extra job.

Better alternative for 560S based on real A & B experience:
1. Without any doubt, HifiMan XS Edition is winner than 650 and 560S, but sure shot you need to buy AMP.
2. HifiMan Sundara is better than 560S in terms of soundstage.

So if you are kind of person who like enjoying details of sound, clarity, mids then HifiMan is best product out there. But, Hifiman gives you very flat, neutral sound. Senneihseri has some extra flavour and few like it, and i am one of it <3.

I had two Bose Acoustimass 5 modules and one Polk Audio CS20 center channel for my home theater system for the past few years. The Bose modules are still performing excellently, and I always admire their superb quality.

For my PC, I initially used Zebronics headphones along with the DTS:X Windows app. However, these headphones never satisfied my ears. After researching online, I narrowed down my options to Sony or Sennheiser to fulfill my audiophile needs.

I visited a Sony showroom and tried their high-end ULT Sony headphones. The bass and noise cancellation were below average, and the on-ear experience was quite disappointing.

After comparing the sound quality of Bose, Sony, and Zebronics, I decided to do more research. Eventually, I discovered that the Sennheiser Accentum or Accentum Plus might be a good fit for me. However, I found that wireless and noise-canceling headphones are never truly perfect across brands.

After further exploration, I settled on the Sennheiser HD 560S headphones. I purchased them and tested the same song I had listened to at the Sony showroom. My first impression was that my decision to buy the Sennheiser HD 560S was absolutely correct.

Priced at ₹12,000, these headphones offer:

Absolutely crystal-clear sound quality.

Bass that is above average, though not comparable to the Bose Acoustimass 5 home theater setup.

When I watched the war scene from Unbroken in Dolby Atmos using the HD 560S, it reminded me of the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan with a similar impactful effect provided by the Bose Acoustimass 5.

Listening to many A.R. Rahman songs on the HD 560S, I can confidently say these are the best headphones available in the ₹12,000 budget range.

Over-ear comfort is much better than the on-ear Sony headphones I tried.

The open-back design leaks a slight amount of sound outward, but the crystal-clear audio ensures a truly immersive experience without being disturbed by external noise.

The cable length is sufficient for my PC setup.

No issues with wireless connectivity or noise-cancellation confusion—just a pure, wired soundstage experience.

The packaging was excellent, and Amazon’s delivery service was, as always, superb.

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.

開放型ともあり、音質はスッキリしてる感
籠りは感じず非常に好みの音ですね

装着感は側圧少し強めですが、本体がとても軽いので問題なし
ハウジングの形が楕円形なので、ゲーミングチェアのヘッドレストにもたれ掛かった時にぶつからず非常に快適。個人的にはこの部分がお気に入りポイントです。
（他のよくある円形モデルだとヘッドレストに当たる為都合が悪かった）
とても良い買い物でした。
