i actually wanted that long cable for my setup, but received a short cable with my 560s. i think a lot of things have changed since the initial release of the 560s, many have said they are treble boosted or harsh... not true! my experience with them has been nothing but wonderfully flat and clear from a music creators standpoint.
Hi , since this message 8 months ago, I since modified my 6xx with custom cans bass mod which do improve the bass, at the moment in Uk 650 is now available for £229, so it’s a good buy, I also have 660s which I now use on ifi dac, I also changes both headphones with thicker pads too . Regards mark
I recently bought the 6xx and I also have hd560s they both sound great, I tend to use 6xx with ifi zen dac v2 but the bass does come alive with bass button the the zen dac. I think he 560 is an around phone now going for about £130, but I agree 6xx slight better but as w said depends what music. Unfortunately the 6xx doesn’t now come in a hinged box but standard box abd the cable is now 1.8m(6ft) and made in Romania. Great video. Regards mark
Have the HD560s with ifi stack, would you recommend pulling the trigger and also buying the HD650? Getting itchy to try something in addition to the HD560s
if I ever got extra money and spent it on higher end (+ i'd get an amp/dac too) set of headphones .. I almost have already decided i'd probably ... for better or worse... would go with the HD 600's
I have 58X and 6XX The latter is a bit tricky with smartphone, but I have better luck with MTK based smartphone and tablet without amplifier under most situations. I also have modified 58X and it's universal (almost all devices I have can be used) Both are my favorite I tried 560S but I don't like it
Why most senheiser headphones nowadays are open back? Can you recommend something good for music listening and PC game playing in environments with more people around? Thanks.
Sure, if you are using 560S to listen to youtube videos, it's going to suck to an extent. However, with high quality (CD quality minimum) music, use the 560S and it's outstanding. And very pleasant even with brightness up top. And by far one of the BEST bass responses and extensions seen in open backs. Your experience of the 560S is entirely opposite of mine. This also highlights HOW you use headphones matters. Like even the amps/dac you connect it to and your source quality.
I use the 560s with the oratory eq, and the Bass is insane, i actually like the bass without eq also, so I'm totally on your side, idk how much bass people want, its insane.
@@tinychamberz if I want bass hitting harder, I just push the "trubass" button on the ifi zen dac. But I mostly do not do that too. I love the stock sound as it is.
I am currently canceling my order for the HD560S and ordering the HD6XX because of this video. I am buying for music/movies. Music is most important to me.
Hello. What would you recommand for playing piano and guitar. I want open back to keep an ear on my newborn. I m struggling between these 2 model. Also beyerdynamics but i dont like there fix cable. I never used good headphone before. Always playing out loud from my instruments/amps. But with the baby i have to keep it down a notch. Any recommandation would be appreciate. Thank you
Nice review. 6XX is much better imo. The build quality is great and everything is repairable. Soundwise 560S is cold and clinical, not an enjoyable experience in comparison.
I bought the 560s one week ago and the cable is so much better now, they changed it fot the better.
Yes, bought it 2 m9uths ago and the cable is perfect!
I actually LOVE how long that cable is. Allows me to route behind my desk!

Great review. Subbed!
Thanks for the comparison, it's exactly what I was looking for! (Sorry about the new Matrix movie...)
6xx seems mids centric. 560s is more open and resolving. I think 560s is more suited to music in 2021 .
6xx is definitely more resolving plus they scale much more. 560s have better tonality all across the board
Not sure I can agree on them being more resolving but you may be right about modern music... as you can see... I'm old.

Hi , hd560s is a great all rounder headphone . Regards mark

Both are my favorite
I tried 560S but I don't like it
I have both of them , AMazing Headphones the best for the price. But HD 660s are overall better headphone in my opinion.
Did you mean the 560s?

If I am plugging one of these in to my guitar amp for quiet practicing, should I also use a headphone amp?

Some people 've said sennheiser 560 is the lost brother of the 600 family
Hey Thanks for the review, Great! A question, If I EQ the 560s would it be good for listening to music? or is that just a big fat 'NO'
Get a DT900 PRO X
EQ makes the 560s way better
@@mitchellcampleman8236 Thanks!
560s is also a very good headphone for gaming.

What would you suggest - 90€ hd599 or 160€ hd560s
What i hear is that the HD 599 have a bigger soundstage and are much warmer. The 599 are great, also good imaging for gaming.
599 are almost a scam. Get The 560s
Would be great to get your feedback and opinions on running the Hd6xx with a fiio btr5 dac amp?? Cheers
BTW, great review 👍
The 6XX is better because it is the HD 650. They are total different headfhone,s😊👍
