    The New HD 560S: Linear Acoustics at a Breakthrough Value

    The only thing I have come to dislike about the 560S is the intimacy of some female vocal songs, like with HD58X, HD650, HD600, some not all but a lot I listen to, the female vocals are intimate while still not in your face, and it makes the song more energetic imo. the 560S the vocals just...

    The New HD 560S: Linear Acoustics at a Breakthrough Value

    I have never really understood why people listen to sound demo's on YouTube, like Zeos, does a review but then he uploads a separate sound demo... it's not like the headphones your currently wearing is going to show anything...

    The New HD 560S: Linear Acoustics at a Breakthrough Value

    I have always told people there is no such thing as a bad headphone, you just need to pair it with the right amp. This is a headphone just like the HD650 that scales so well with different amps... I bet if I hooked this up to a Chord Hugo 2 or something I would be blown away. but I mean you...

    The New HD 560S: Linear Acoustics at a Breakthrough Value

    not piercing at all to me. and i just got done listening all night. i give them a 9/10 for price. my minus 1 isn't really a minus for most people, but they do sound a bit clinical sometimes, as in they do everything so well, that sometimes they lack that energy that makes me want to get up and...

    The New HD 560S: Linear Acoustics at a Breakthrough Value

    Whoever said these are bad build quality I highly disagree. I was actually turning them over in my hand earlier today and was really impressed by the design and craftsmanship of it. I really love the indented part on the outside cups, and I would prefer high quality plastic like this to anything...

    The New HD 560S: Linear Acoustics at a Breakthrough Value

    I game yes, I played some Starcraft 2 co-op tonight, sounded great. No movies yet, but I did listen to a podcast, and wow the crispness of a voice using a high quality microphone/recording really shows you what these headphones can do. I heard everything (for better and worse) lol very...

    I found a really good song for you to really hear the difference between HD600/HD650/HD58X soundstage intimacy versus HD 560S, Sway by Cuebrick spotify:track:4zzray58AcfYNe9rR9nFRg About 10 seconds in to around 45 seconds in, where she is singing ever so gently "sway with me" etc, you can...

    Pro tip to those of you that requested a cancel order, but they were unable to cancel, they automatically produce RMA numbers/emails in the event you fail to refuse. I called today to RMA, and they were like we emailed you the RMA number and instructions two days ago I was like huh? It was...

    are you using your HD600 with a OTL tube amp? I think most would argue HD600 and HD650 have very tiny soundstage. unless on OTL tubes.

    The New HD 560S: Linear Acoustics at a Breakthrough Value

    Bass is good in quality, extends deep, just not much quantity. I find it quite nice though. Quality is important, X2 bass for example is not quality imo or to my ears anyway. I'd say this headphone does everything just right really. Clarity is so important in vocals to me, so many headphones...

    The New HD 560S: Linear Acoustics at a Breakthrough Value

    I can answer my own question from earlier for anyone that cares, the weeknd when his voice gets super high, these headphones handle it sooooooooo good, omg it sounds so good lmao, Senn removed that veil from the HD58X, HD6-- series to my ears. the energy of highs is absolutely perfect. this...

    The New HD 560S: Linear Acoustics at a Breakthrough Value

    @Sennheiser hope you figure out your logistics better someday, but besides that... can say my initial impressions are HD58X may very well be retired and to be sold... not making final decision for two weeks, but I am very impressed by 560S so far... I don't agree with people saying they have...

    The New HD 560S: Linear Acoustics at a Breakthrough Value

    yeah the comfort factor being described as HD598 was one of the big selling points for me originally too alongside the soundstage thing. I remember many years ago... the HD598 just vanishes on your head yet still remains secure. where as my SHP9500 vanish on your head but they aren't fully...
