this might be another option for the headphone spec... they measured the frequency response and draw a line across the graph at the -10db point and read the frequency span above that line... so in this case the -10db reference shows the headphone can reproduce the frequency span from 6 hz to 38Khz... so by using the -10db versus using a -3db reference it makes the headphone look on paper better... so for example... if a headphone frequency span was only 30 hz to 15Khz at the -10db line, this headphone would not be a good headphone for music.. (exaggerated example)

The lower the dB the better it looks. That's why the Sundara shows almost 80kHz.
Just ignore this spec, unless it's +/- 3dB or 0dB.

Mine have been delayed, which is a bummer. I'm wondering if a normal 2.5 mm will fit in the connector, or if it has to be the twist?

It should be the twist-and-lock 2.5mm connector, like the one that the HD598 series had.

You don't have to twist actually I prefer not as if the cable gets caught on something it will pull out, not pull the headphones off my head.

It's a very thin connector but maybe you could find one that would work I'm not sure. Otherwise, replacements are quite cheap.

Ordered on the 9th. Dispatched today.

Could anyone recommend a good tube amp for the hd 560s. I'm thinking of the little dot mkII stock tubes. Is it good pairing ?

I'd go for something like a Schitt Valhalla 2, SET amps are really nice with dynamic headphones like HD560S. But anything much more than that likely will be over kill honestly
