I agree. Don't get me wrong I love listening to people praise something I already own (I have the 560s),Lol this dude looked nuts changing headphones back and forth so quickly.
I don't know, people over analyze stuff. I feel like he went into it expecting/wanting to be against the "popular" opinion of the 560s right now with the initial glowing reviews. Confirmation bias is such a huge part of this hobby, I'm certainly not immune to it. That's why it's so difficult to form opinions about a headphone in just a few listening sessions and certainly while directly comparing them rapidly back to back like this.
Anyway, don't get too caught up in what one person thinks. As prolific as metal571 became as a reviewer, he would always qualify in his videos that it's just his opinion and he's only one dude, and that everyone hears things differently.

I own the 560s and I enjoy them. I also love it when someone likes something I own and don't like it when someone criticizes something I own. But at the end of the day I realize it's their opinion and they're entitled to it.
DMS described the kind of sound I was looking for. I think he gave a good idea of the sound but I don't quite know if I think they're as good as he hyped them (in my opinion). I like to listen to music on them and at the end of the day isn't that what's it's all about.
It's nice to see a wealth of reviews (and a nice hobby to browse for cool new stuff) to get a general consensus, but trying them out for yourself is always the best test (which isn't always possible but still is the best).
