Sennheiser HD560S

With an impedance of 120 ohms, these headphones can be driven by many modern devices, but they will benefit significantly from a dedicated amplifier or a high-quality DAC. Using an amp ensures you get the full dynamic range and control required for critical listening.

No, the HD 560S features an open-back design, which means sound will leak both in and out of the earcups. They are intended for quiet, controlled environments like a home studio or a private office rather than commuting or public spaces.

The E.A.R. (Ergonomic Acoustic Refinement) angled drivers position the sound to mimic the way you hear audio from high-end studio monitors. This creates a more natural, spacious soundstage that helps with precise imaging and instrument separation.

Yes, the lightweight 240g frame and soft velour earpads are designed for extended wear. The open-back design also helps prevent heat buildup around the ears, which is a common issue with closed-back models.

Absolutely. The HD 560S is tuned for a neutral, reference-grade frequency response with very low distortion, making them an excellent tool for analytical tasks like EQ adjustments, balance checks, and critical A/B testing.

The headphones come with a 3m cable terminated in a 6.35mm (1/4") jack, but a 3.5mm adapter is included in the box. This allows you to connect them to both professional audio interfaces and standard consumer devices like laptops or phones.
