Sennheiser HD 560 S

29.5 Studio Score
over-ear Wired
Why we recommend this

A 120-ohm open-back driver with E.A.R. technology angles the transducers for a neutral frequency response and wide soundstage, delivering lifelike depth across genres. Weighing 240g with a detachable 3m cable, its lightweight build and polymer-blend membrane add controlled bass extension and comfortable long listening sessions. This headphone suits audiophiles wanting reference-grade accuracy for critical music evaluation at a breakthrough value, not for calls given the weak 11.7/100 call score.
