Premium comfort:

Although the HD 560S sound is rooted in the reference-level DNA of the beloved HD 660S, its comfort mechanics are based on the chassis of Sennheiser's HD 599. The headphones deliver a barely-there feel. Even the velour earpads have been carefully considered to keep all contact points soft to the touch. The open, around-the-ear design offers benefits beyond natural sound–the ventilated cups remain cool without ever needing to touch the wearer's ears.

New drivers:

Due to the newly developed 120 Ohm drivers with a polymer membrane and a more powerful magnet, these competitively priced headphones offer a significant leap in sound quality. This HD 560S delivers better bass response and a tighter control between 6Hz and 38Hz and above 10kHz it plays with more openness, detail and a more pleasing character. These headphones offer a more linear frequency response and deliver a more realistic sound that will also appeal to demanding audiophiles.

Just enjoy:

Whether you're a technical listener that demands an audiophile-correct playback down to the last detail, or just want to immerse yourself in your favourite music, this Sennheiser HD 560S allows you to listen to your favourite playlists in an incredible sound quality wherever you like, regardless of the age that is printed on your identity card.

Open ear cups for open minds:

The HD 560S features an open-back design that provides natural propagation of sound waves.

Reveal the truth in your music:

Today’s audiophiles monitor their music with measured purpose on a wide range of devices from headphone amplifiers, audio interfaces, computers, and more.

Connection:

Because audiophiles frequent a variety of sources, we developed the HD 560S to provide an exceptional experience regardless of the playback system.

The detachable 9.8' cable provides the freedom to access your gear, no matter how it may be oriented within your setup. The 1/4" plug lets you connect to headphone amplifiers, audio interfaces, and most hi-fi sources, while a flexible 3.5mm adapter ensures you can extract the most out of your reference material on portable digital audio players and countless other audio devices.

Awards & Reviews:

EISA Award Beste Value headphones 2021-2022

"Sennheiser has long had an enviable position in the audio market, from its excellent headphones to its role as a supplier of microphones for everything from recording to live performances. And in the HD 560S, Sennheiser brings together all that knowledge in a design able to deliver a wide-open sound with exceptional detail and fast clean bass, plus a realistic impression of the soundstage. The new drivers use a polymer blend for linear response and an airy treble, while the angled drivers combine with the open-backed design to create a real sense of presence."

"Sennheiser made a near-perfect pair of studio monitors with the HD 560S. The flat bass response? Check. Neutral and uncoloured midrange? Check. Extended treble with a bit of lower-treble emphasis to highlight mastering flaws? Check. Fairly easy to drive? Check. Good soundstage and imaging? Check, and check. The only real issue is that the retail price of the HD 560S is too close to the venerable HD 650 (especially the HD 6XX version), and it’s hard to ignore such a giant looming shadow."
