I have both...it's late, too tired for a pint by point comparison, but let me just say, I almost never put on the 560 since I got the HEK. And, I really liked them before I got the HEK. In terms of Soundstage, detail, extended bass, natural presentation, mids, smooth open highs, the HEK is so much better (as it should be at 3x the price).
Thank you everyone who replied!
if HEK is that good I might have to sell my beloved HE-560 or maybe try to keep it in the family somehow. once I pick up my he-560 it is hard to put it down - and I am unable to listen to any of my other headphones sadly. Doctorjazz what amp/dac are you using with your HEK?
Thanks again

I have a few systems I work off of. My PC system uses Geek Out Signature Edition (v1), Regen, MicroZOTL2 amp. I also use my Living room system, Linn LP12 turntable, Pro Ject Tube box S phone, and either the headphone out of my Peachtree Grandpre preamp, or the MicroZOTL2. In the bedroom, I use line out from my Pono, into the Liquid Carbon. It sounds great from all of the above, but the LP12 system>PC>bedroom.
