Sennheiser HD 560S - Open-back Audiophile Headphones｜Reference-Grade Audio Tool for Professional Mixing and Audiophiles
Open-back Reference Headphones Designed for Mix Engineers and Audiophiles Seeking Neutral, Precise Audio Reproduction
The Sennheiser HD 560S is a high-end open-back headphone from Sennheiser, featuring patented E.A.R. (Ergonomic Acoustic Refinement) technology, a 120-ohm impedance, and an ultra-wide frequency response of 6 Hz - 38 kHz. Its core design philosophy is to deliver the purest, uncolored sound, allowing professional music producers and audiophiles to hear every audio detail. It is an ideal tool for precise mixing, mastering, and critical listening.
Unlike most consumer headphones that emphasize sound coloration and specific frequency boosts, the Sennheiser HD 560S achieves exceptional linear frequency response and extremely low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) through its newly developed 38mm dynamic transducer and special polymer diaphragm. This makes it a reliable A/B comparison benchmark in studio monitoring applications, while also allowing audiophile headphone enthusiasts to experience the original sound heard by engineers in the studio, enjoying unprecedented realism and transparency.
Who is the Sennheiser HD 560S for?
Sennheiser HD 560S Core Technologies and Features
- Transducer Tuned for Precise Monitoring: Equipped with a newly developed 120-ohm dynamic transducer featuring a special polymer blend diaphragm, it delivers extremely linear frequency response and excellent transient response, ensuring reliable A/B comparisons of audio sources, mix components, and media formats.
- E.A.R. Ergonomic Acoustic Refinement Technology: Ergonomic Acoustic Refinement (E.A.R.) technology positions the transducers at a specific angle, mimicking the ideal triangular listening setup of Hi-Fi speakers in professional studios. This directs audio directly to your ear canal, creating a more natural and expansive soundstage.
- High-Performance Magnet and Damping System: The driver magnet system features powerful driving force and a unique damping design that effectively controls diaphragm movement. This allows it to deliver deep, clear, and distortion-free bass, even when handling complex low-frequency content, avoiding the common muddiness found in traditional headphones' bass.
- Open-Back Earcup Design: The open-back structure allows sound waves to propagate naturally, avoiding acoustic standing waves and pressure buildup caused by internal reflections in closed-back headphones. This not only creates a wide, live-like soundstage but also ensures comfort during long listening sessions.
- Extreme Lightweight Design and Comfort: Drawing inspiration from the HD 599's ergonomic design, the HD 560S is extremely lightweight. Coupled with soft, breathable velour ear pads and an adjustable headband, it maintains excellent comfort even after hours of monitoring or listening.
- Highly Flexible Connectivity Solution: Equipped with a 1.8-meter detachable headphone cable terminated with a 3.5mm (1/8") jack, and includes a 6.3mm (1/4") screw-on adapter, allowing easy connection to audio interfaces, headphone amplifiers, high-resolution players, turntables, and various other audio equipment.
- Replaceable Component Design: Both the ear pads and headphone cable are replaceable, significantly enhancing product durability and lifespan, making routine maintenance and replacement convenient for users.
