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...

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...

I tried the Sundara, I didn't particulary like it

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...

just hooked these up to custom hybrid amp - first time... been using Asgard 2... OMG THAT BASS amps matter boys amps matter!!!!! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF I LOVE THESE HEADPHONES FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF HYBRID TUBES go nom nom nom nom clarity and slam and airiness... ffffffffffffffff i...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

@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...

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...

I decided to keep one pair and mail back the other. worst case scenario is I just sell them on here at a bit of a loss. no big deal. just was frustrated earlier. hope i enjoy them all, finally can decide if hd58x remains my retired headphones as they have for last 3 years or if i am selling them...

Yeah, that is how it is always been in my area for last 20 years. I don't mind that, I have refused stuff in past, my window oversees entire front of house, but human nature/restroom... sometimes happens. Just can't believe the timing of it. Really sucks. I hate driving on the highway too...

well, I was reading UPS website, as long as I don't open the boxes I still might be able to refuse them if I bring them to official UPS store. so I am not going to touch them/open the shipping box they arrived in. which means i can still get return free shipping maybe. I don't own a car, so...

Both of my 560S arrived today, I went to restroom for just a couple minutes and saw the UPS driver driving away, had my window open all morning and afternoon waiting, wow... just wow. Now I have to pay return shipping on both because Digital River has an ancient logistics systems in place that...

can you listen to a few songs of the Weeknd and let me know how they sound? does the bass hit good? is it energetic? or does neutral headphone mean the energy/synergy is downplayed a little? his voice can get very very high, its a good test for me on headphones to compare sibilance. my SHP9500...

Again, I will use the word Archaic as hell. Never had any modern company do this.

yep I woke up 6 emails this morning from Digital River, unable to cancel both orders, both orders have shipped, and both orders charged... I was like wait ummm you charged almost 3 weeks ago... but I checked as well and all is good, no charge. when they told me it was cancelled last week... I...

@Sennheiser I just called Digital River again, they have not canceled my order as they previously stated, apparently when the lady last week told me my order was cancelled she failed to mention it was just a request to cancel. The person I talked with today said the order is not canceled but a...

@Sennheiser Just some advice regarding Digital River, I canceled my order several hours ago, and still have yet to receive any kind of confirmation email regarding it being canceled or a refund in process. I know earlier in this thread someone said they returned an item and had no issue with...

i just called them and let them know i got the backorder email too (i actually got two emails this morning both are on backorder) so i just called and was allowed to cancel finally. finally i can wash my hands of this and move on, take care everyone! @Sennheiser no need to PM me i got it all...
