Sennheiser HD 560S

Reveal the truth in your music.
Audiophiles nowadays have a deliberate purpose for listening to their music on a wide range of devices, from headphone amplifiers to audio interfaces to computers. The HD 560S delivers the linear performance demanded by analytical audio enthusiasts at a revolutionary level, allowing listeners to get an honest look into their music for either entertainment or productivity.
Open earbuds for open thinking
The open-back design of the HD 560S allows for natural propagation of sound waves. The angled driver placement, using Ergonomic Acoustic Refinement (E.A.R.) technology, reproduces the optimal triangular listening position used by hi-fi speakers and high-end recording studios. This combination creates a wide, articulated soundstage without the need for acoustic spatial management, allowing you to listen to a natural version of the music without being affected by the artifacts of the enclosed space.
Characteristic sound
HD 560S converters are specifically tuned for accuracy, offering reliable A/B comparison of components, mixes and media formats. The entire frequency range is honest, complemented by a soft, deep bass extension, revealing what nearby speakers often struggle to reproduce - especially between 20 and 50 Hz. The all-new 120 ohm transducer diaphragm features a special polymer blend to improve linear excursion and brightness above 10 Hz. The drive unit magnet provides exceptional power efficiency, while a steel mesh damping system provides ventilation; this combination results in deeper bass, while at the same time reducing distortion that would otherwise affect clarity - a difference only the most demanding listeners can appreciate. Whether you're using a new high-resolution master or a retro audiophile preamp, the HD 560S makes listening effortless and reliable.
Comfort first
Although the HD 560S has its sound roots in the reference-level DNA of the popular HD 660S, its comfort design is based on our ultra-lightweight HD 599. Such natural headphones deserve to fit on the listener's head without distraction, giving the feeling of "as if they weren't there".
Even the suede ear cushions have been carefully designed so that every contact point is soft. The open, ear-encircling design also offers benefits beyond natural sound-the ventilated cushion stays cool without ever having to touch the wearer's ear.
