Sennheiser HD560s open back, over ear headphone, designed for home use, to provide outstanding clarity and sound quality with long term wearing comfort.
HD560s is tuned to provide a full bass response, well detailed midrange and treble with a very open, wide soundstage. The open feel is not only great with music, but makes the audio in games and movies more fun as well.
The impedance / sensitivity make the HD560s fairly easy to drive and also provide a similar frequency response from a wide variety of sources, like computers, dacs and stereo receivers. These get close to the tuning of the 600 series headphone, while being easier to drive, just as comfortable and a great value.
HD560s are very lightweight at 240g, have a well padded headband, deep roomy ear cups with velour pads. They do not get as warm as closed headphones and are great for long term use. pro tip- HD560s are not clampy - if you find the HD6-- series too tight, these are close sound wise and for people with a larger head, more comfortable over several hours at a time.
The detachable cable is now 1.8m long with a 3.5mm plug - a 6.5mm adaptor is included. (open back headphones are mesh at the outside of the headphone - they will leak out sound and provide no isolation)
**The new Fiio K11 dac amp ($179) makes a perfect pair for listening from the computer!
