Sennheiser HD560S Review (Headphone)

[solderdude]

How different do they sound/measure to the original ?
Are there signs that they are fakes without opening them up ?

These aren't mine, but several people have counterfeits that were bought new for a suspiciously low price, around $80-$100. They haven't been measured yet.

If one of them is in Europe and wants to have it measured he can contact me.

Well the earpads definitely look wrong and stand out as the biggest first noticeable difference. The pads of the counterfeit look thicker & fluffier. And the angular shape within each earcup that sticks out looks less defined and crisp and might be a slightly different shape.

Hi! I’m not sure if it’s okay to ask this kind of question, but I’ll give it a try.

I’ve had the Sennheiser HD560S for a year now, and I’m very happy with them. I use them with my Denon X3800H receiver, mainly for movies, TV shows, and PS5 games.

I’ve seen the Beyerdynamic DT 900 PRO X on sale recently. In your opinion, are they better than the HD560S, or would I not notice much of a difference?

Thank you.

It depends, what are you hoping to achieve by getting the Pro X that your HD560S isn’t doing?

Mmm... I really don't know.

Make your purchasing decisions with a concrete plan in mind and you'll save boatloads of money.

Then don't waste your time. There's a good chance you don't like the new headphones as much and you have to deal with returning.

I recently wanted to try 620S because my DT 700 Pro X started to show wear, headband skin material got loose. I couldn't get enough low frequencies SPL from 620S to match 560S or DT 700 Pro X so sent them back.

I bought my 560S in 2020 and they are still going strong, best and hardiest headphones I've ever had. I've only swapped worn ear pads with them.

I'd like to say I think this headphones gives me the most enjoyment in music listening, simple as! I keep coming back to it.
