Hello Head-Fi!
Whether for pleasure or productivity, audiophile headphones have become indispensable to our community for both musical enjoyment and critical listening. We’re thrilled to announce an addition to this audiophile headphone family, the HD 560S. Featuring a new 120 Ω transducer and a neutral signature sound, it offers analytical audio enthusiasts a reference listening experience at a breakthrough value.
Reveal the truth in your music.
The HD 560S features both the angled transducer alignment and ultralight chassis of the HD 5x9 series—the former a time tested listening position favored by audio engineers of all kinds. The bigger story here is its precise sound and lineage to our HD 6x0 series, namely the HD 660S. The acoustic performance inside the HD 560S was specifically honed for listeners seeking the truth in their setup, with accurate audio reproduction, defined bass response, and articulate treble clarity.
HD 560S features:
The HD 560S transducers are specifically tuned for accuracy, offering dependable A/B comparisons of components, mixes, and media formats. The entire frequency range is honest, complemented by smooth, deep bass extension. Whether grading a new hi-resolution master or revisiting a vintage audiophile preamp the HD 560S delivers a fatigue-free listen that you can depend on.
Consistent real-world performance is further realized from the HD 560S’ meticulously selected components and applied acoustic principles. For example the transducer diaphragm uses a new, innovative polymer blend that provides more linear excursion—especially important for accuracy and control. The combination of driver capability and component quality yields performance typically associated with our HD 600 series.
The HD 560S features a detachable, single-sided 3m cable with a 6.3mm stereo jack plug termination. A 3.5mm adapter with flexible, 15cm lead is included for connection to a wide range of devices. To make your reviews easy to find, post them on Head-Fi's HD 560S listing here: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/sennheiser-hd-560s.24660/
This new headphone will be available to purchase starting September 29th, 2020. For more information, including pricing, visit http://www.sennheiser.com/hd-560s — We can’t wait for you to hear it.
