Depends on how often you wear them. If it's on a daily basis then propably should be replaced every year, but this concerns especially HD6-series. HD5-series have somewhat more durable pads and while they gets flattened with time it doesn't seem to affect the sound as much as HD6 headphones. I've had my 599 for a year now and don't need to replace the pads yet, but I don't use this can every day.

Thanks for the info. Where can we purchase the earpads? Do this hd560s have the same earpads as the 599?

Dunno I'm in Europe it is available here locally, sometimes on amazon for about 22E a pair. Yes exactly same velour pads as 559, 599

I heard that for sennheiser headphones we need to replace the earpads on a yearly basis, is it true? If I decide to purchase the hd560s, it will be my first senn headphone so just wondering.

I use Geekria earpads covers to protect all my earpads. They have them for large pads too.

I got an update saying they would be ready to ship on the 28 instead of 29.
I asked support for a tracking number or ETA and haven't got any response. I think a big company should be able to get back to you in a few days.

I've heard of a few getting their tracking already and I ordered it earlier in the week on the 24th well in advance. Hopefully this isn't like Drop lol.

I think those that are getting them shipped are outside the US. I don't think any of the US pairs have shipped yet. I got the same email about them being ready the 28th and nothing since.

@rev6

still no email of any kind for either one of my orders on my end. and still not allowed to cancel either.

yep. I am done with Sennheiser. that is ridiculous. seriously, have some basic logistics in your ordering process. even when I canceled an item on Newegg in the past, they would send an email over to warehouse requesting the cancel, never promised me it would be canceled, but at least that was something instead of the call center person just repeating the same sentence to me over and over.

have a good one @Sennheiser I will be taking my money elsewhere.

Sennheiser said 559, not 599

Those two have different pads (i own both)

Stop whining. Your story adds no value to this thread. Learn your lesson and next time don't impulsively buy and this won't happen.

Agreed 100%, or only buy from companies that have stores and don't outsource it. Lesson learned indeed, take care everyone. Have a good one.

I preordered last week in Canada, supposed to have shipped 2 days ago , no emails or tracking # or any other kind of correspondence.
be interesting when they finally show .
keep watching the DMS review and think it’ll be worth it

Well this is intriguing!
Amazon Canada have just listed the 560S with a retail price of $223 and a release date of January 31 2021

That is indeed interesting. Price is good but Jan 31st is a long time away.
Maybe I will pre-order and cancel if I don't like the other reviews that will come out or score a better deal between now and than.

Maybe they found some issues with a high percentage of their first batch. Bring production back to the EU boys, we'll forgive everything.

Anyway, it's all good, kudos to Sennheiser if they found an issue and decided to fix it. Just communicate to us, we'll understand.

Haha don't say that. Mine should be delivered tomorrow!

What's wrong with this guy?:


He not like it?

In other reviews of his, he listens only through his eyes. In other words, he often reviews the headphones based on their FR curves only and commentates on them.
