Type of review

Before that, I had headphones - the old budget Phillips SHP2700 and the new AudioTechnica AR5BT. AudioTechnics had problems with lows, the bass guitar was almost completely lost on them. And Phillips - they are very budgetary, but the sound was not bad, but like through cotton wool. But Sennheiser is a completely different level of sound! So, comparing with what I have, Sennheiser's sound is just crystal clear, smooth, I didn't notice distortions. But there was no WOW effect either. Do not…

Pros
  • Sound! What they write and say in the reviews is all true - the lower ones, the middle ones, and the high ones play well. Instruments are distinguishable, everything is clean and clear. Landing, dimensions and weight are quite pleasant, you can really sit with them for a long time and not notice. Even after turning off the music, I sit in them for a while, I just forget to take them off, they don’t interfere so much. The headphones look quite presentable, nothing creaks, they are regulated normally. I would say even ascetic - there is nothing superfluous. The materials are pleasant, the velor is very pleasant. The cable and adapter - in appearance, and in sound, are quite normal.
Cons
  • - The plug in the headphone cup is a specific 2.5 mm with a lock (see photo), while it has 4 pins (and there are 3 of them at the output!), and is very long, goes deep into the body of the cup. Nowhere is it written about this, it was a surprise for me whether it would be possible to find an adequate replacement in which case - for me the question is open. - Not a minus, but everywhere they write that it works with different sources. Yes it works. But I personally lack them in terms of volume from mobile devices. I connected it directly to the Google Pixel 4a and via the Dragonfly Black DAC, but it didn’t help much either, it was a little louder. But through the laptop and the same DAC, the sound, firstly, is more interesting and better, and secondly, it’s loud enough, it’s enough for me. This is not a minus for the headphones, they have such a resistance of 120 ohms, of course, a more powerful source is needed. Just misinformation for those who write that they play everywhere. Keep in mind. - Not a minus, but lacks a folding design or cover. It's scary to throw them in a backpack, I'll think about where to find a cover.

I definitely recommend buying, I didnt notice any disadvantages.

I listened to the following Sennheiser HD595, HD599, HD600, HD650 and HD560s - the latter have the best musicality and balance of lows / middles / highs, the headphones sound quite detailed, you can listen to music, and not just analyze the vibrations of the membrane as in the HD600) and I don’t understand the furious HD650 fans - how can you listen to analytical headphones with a littered middle? and only it is overwhelmed, there is practically no bass there, as in the HD600, there is bass in…

Pros
  • Sound
Cons
  • Low quality materials.

A little disappointed, a bad purchase.

Has some pros: this I put "two", not "count") first) are very comfortable for extended listening in a quiet room, as long as you don't disturb anyone. Has some cons: Pro, but after the Beyers, you don’t even want to pick it up, foam rubber, a big jack 6.3 - a hint of "ilitarism"? Well,

I'm amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

Different pros: Excellent sound quality, lightness, convenience in long-term operation (does not press on the ears at all), although the design of the headphones itself is not flimsy and reliable. Has cons: you can hear what is playing in the headphones to others, and you hear all external sounds.

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

Its pros: As already mentioned above, the sound in them is as it should be. perfect sound. Probably the best choice in terms of price/quality. Its cons: headphone input mini jack with a lock, please note when buying

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

After these headphones, many others that are even much more expensive seem to emulate hearing loss. This is an amazingly powerful product. Its pros: Strikingly neutral and analytical headphones. Very comfortable fit, light. The virtual stage is wide, but not as spectacular as on the 600 series. Very fast membrane, deep sub-bass. The tops are not sharp, without excess sand. In these headphones, you can successfully mix music, and count on their accuracy. Such an attractive price for such serious

Good product for me, no problems at all.

Fast delivery, courier punctual and polite. Everything is fine. Some pros: The design is "flimsy", but it is rather a fight against excess weight and "+" to the comfort of use. They lie comfortably on the head and do not press during prolonged use (in my case, 1-2 hours). I use with FIIo KA3 (via FiioControl) + HibyMusic on Android (MiMix2s). The sound suits completely. Through the Pioneer VSX-520-K receiver there is a sound so-called "underline", but through a mobile phone it is more…

The quality is spoiled, the product is bad.

These are my first "senshi", and it seems - the last. Returned to the store. :((((((( I'll take the AKG K712 Pro. It's a pity that there are no 80-ohm 990s Beyers . With its pros. Sound. He is not bad (for this I put "two", not "count"). Open-back headphones (my first) are very comfortable for extended listening in a quiet room, as long as you don't disturb anyone. Cons: Manufacturing quality. It's disgusting. Headphones cost approximately the same as the Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro, but after the…

The product disappointed, does not meet the promises.

I wanted to complement the stereo speaker system with headphones in order to find a new sound. I connect headphones to the Audiolab 8200DQ DAC. In the apartment, the headphones are suitable for non-musical sound (Youtube speech clips, games). It is better to listen to music not loudly through the speakers than loudly through these headphones. Interest in headphones has almost completely disappeared. It makes little sense to take these headphones with a good stereo system based on speakers.

Pros
  • Simple reliable design. Lungs. Connector 6.3. You can listen loudly at night. The main application - can be used in the country where there is no normal stationary equipment. Sometimes low frequencies merge into a continuous hum (but not loud) creating the effect of a concert hall, which can be called a sound feature . You begin to appreciate the sound of the speakers even more.
Cons
  • The sound is dim. Very weak compared to speakers. The desire to listen to them in comparison with the speakers is not. So far I have not found a shorter cable with a 6.3 connector in order to improve the sound.

Great headphones. There are a lot of reviews on them on the Internet, they talk about smooth sound with a good stage - this is true. I was already sitting in headphones for about 10 hours in a row, I work a lot at the computer - no problems. No pressure on the head, comfortable fit and they are light. In closed headphones, after them, you don’t want to sit at all. Be sure to listen before buying, if possible. And so, in general - I recommend.

Pros
  • Comfortable fit, light, good sound. What else is needed?
Cons
  • No, but it may seem cheap to some, without premium materials. To me, on the contrary, they seem strict, nothing more. In the end, the main thing in headphones is sound and fit.

The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

I recently started using good headphones, these are the first in this price segment, so I still don’t understand much, I bought an external Creative Sound Blaster Play sound card for them! 4 with support for 24 bit / 196 kHz, like the norms, but something wow did not happen. I don’t understand whether it’s worth spending money on some good sound in the future, it will be very disappointing to spend 10-15k in the void, if anyone fumbles and compared similar sound headphones with these…

Pros
  • Sound, light, ears do not get tired or sweat at all, do not require an amplifier even with a laptop sound card
Cons
  • The materials could still be done better, anqer q30 for 4.800r with Ali feels more premium. Do not expect a driving bright bass, it may not be bad, but in principle, it will not pump like that in an open type of headphones. The funniest thing is a three-meter cord with a large connector in the kit and with an adapter for a regular mini jack, which will be wound with a plume, here the manufacturer apparently decided to have fun without putting the usual medium-sized cord in the kit (it was possible even with volume control), which costs a penny

Great value for the money, definitely recommended!

I am the owner of: Shure SE530, AT M50x, AKG y50, Onkyo E700 BT, Sennheiser momentum true wireless 2. Have been listening for a long time (at least a week): beyerdynamic DT 880 PRO, Sennheiser HD650, Sennheiser HD800, Samsung buds pro. Not for show-off, but for understanding what is, with what to compare. So the HD 560S is the best I've heard without regard to price. And if you take into account the low price, then this is the top option for home use.

Pros
  • Detail that gives goosebumps. Compositions that have been heard to the holes and it would seem that nothing will surprise you, sounded in a new way. Open design - the sound is not inside the head, but the truth is around. There is no genre, like the HD800. Lightweight, comfortable fit. After a while, you just forget that you have them on your head. Removable wire.
Cons
  • Very long complete cable. Usual materials, but it can be a plus - the entire budget went into the sound. Subjectively: it makes no sense to listen from a portable and built-in sound system. They won't show you everything they can. Nibbling: I would like a cover in the kit. Nibbling: no numbering or little lines when adjusting the width of the headband.

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

Today I will inform you about a product that I found Sennheiser HD Over Audiophile Headphones. I can’t even believe sometimes that I finally have this miracle. The flaws, although not, the features are open, but participation in family conversations is an important thing, so it’s better to listen in the kitchen and at night. Sinhi is on top, I had 6-7 different pieces, all are alive. But THESE - I repeat - MIRACLE!

Pros
  • The product is out of competition within the budget segment.
Cons
  • flimsy, but I'll be careful

I am amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

I chose the HD 560S for my father, as for a man who has only recently decided to start his audiophile journey. In my own collection I have an HD 660S and an Audeze LCD-X 2022 and of course I compared the 560S with them. Exactly like I compared them with the closest competitors in the face of HD 600, HD 650 and Beyerdynamic DT 770/880/990. What can I say: HD 560S are really great headphones, after the release of which, it becomes difficult to consider something else in this price category. They…

Pros
  • Comfort fit, design, sound, price
Cons
  • Quality of plastic: it is quite cheap, with traces of recycling. I also didn't like the design of the headband. It is simply glued to the carrier arc and changing it to a new one is quite problematic, if at all possible. There are small complaints about the cable: it gets tangled. There is no way to connect headphones to the balanced output of the amplifier. However, this is not critical.

I like the product, the quality did not disappoint.

Today I will inform you about a product that I found Sennheiser HD Over Audiophile Headphones. The sound is basically musical, but it falls short for me in terms of brightness. Another problem for me was the shape of the cups and the material of the ear cushions. They just dug into my skull and it was very hard to sit in them for a long time. And the ears are great. Senkhs probably have the minimum suitable option.

Pros
  • Good neutral sound.
Cons
  • For me, they were not comfortable.

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent product, the best quality.

When compared with the HD 558 and HD 280 Pro, the sound is perceived more easily and in more detail (as I already wrote in the merits). In principle, 560m is enough for 2V RMS (actually the standard output of most s / c and DAC) to go deaf in them, even the Samsung A50 output is enough (although clipping is heard at maximum speed). At the beginning there was some sharpness in the midrange, but after 2 hours of use it almost disappeared and the sound became a little more voluminous. I think that

Pros
  • Good detailed sound throughout the range, very good dynamics. Headphones do not strain the sound, you can even sit all day. They sit tight on the head, a little pressure, but I think they will work in. It lacks some of the harshness of the HD558 (which, by the way, are cool headphones, especially considering the price, they're out there for 100 bucks of the HD559). Unlike the entire 5 series, there is more bass here, although it is not as deep as on closed headphones like the HD 280 Pro.
Cons
  • There are no particular shortcomings.
