Great headphone
Great sounding headphone. Their technical proficiency doesn't make them boring. An example I can think of is eating ice cream. For example, vanilla flavor (this is whatever you're listening to) from a glass bowl (560S) that does not take anything from the flavor. The idea is to focus on the ice cream, and minimize any distraction. Other brands may suggest adding hot fudge or sprinkles to add additional experience (this is akin to adding "color" to the sound), but a headphone like the HD 560S just want the sound to speak for itself

Excellent Quality Headphones
These are super comfortable, I can wear them for 4 hours and not get uncomfortable. The volume level is nice and loud and perfectly sufficient but not too loud like some of my other headphones that give me headaches after a few minutes.
Honestly stop looking, these Headphones are perfect for listening and also perfect for mixing on. I bought them to listen to the mixes each week after gettin home from recording my debut Album. It's a good buzz to get home & listen to the evolving mixes cause these Headphones really allow me to hear the smallest of noises. The producers head is wrecked, he bought monitors worth thousands recently & these Headphones put them to shame cause there are many things elusive on his monitors but they are clear as day on these headphones, which is exactly what i need, to be able to hear noises that need to be deleted later.
If you don't like critical listening, don't but these, if you do then Just buy them :)
Music sounds beautiful on these :)

Has a good bit of "magic", but has its issues.
Disclaimer: I've only had a few hours with these and am not a producer.
I use these headphones at home, powered by an iFi Zen Can, feeding it FLAC from my PC through a Digitech RP155 as a DAC. My favourite two hobbies at home are critical listening and video games, so that's my use for them. I also have Audio-Technica ATH-AD500X and a pair of IEMs.
Pros: very clear sound - they definitely give the impression of letting you hear everything in the music - to me they don't seem sibilant but they will cause listening fatigue at very high volumes quickly. I am very happy with the tuning of these cans - very revealing but not tiring and fun if you appreciate intricacies in sound.
Cons: build quality. Casing resonance from low frequencies at high volumes can be very obvious. This might be fixed eventually or never by Sennheiser.
Conclusion: I genuinely enjoy listening with these, the benefits to me outweigh the drawbacks and I consider these a legitimate upgrade to what I had before.

Really light and sound better than my X2's
Use:
Mainly at home for music and gaming.
Pros:
Much lighter than my previous headphones (Philips X2's), Imaging is amazing and even more precise. You are easily able to point where anything is coming from whether it is listening to music or gaming. QuIte easily driven using a G5 currently and doesn't have any issues on low gain.
Cons:
The only major issue is it isn't as comfy as people lead others to believe, compared to my X2's they are quite harsh on the clamping force and the ear cups aren't the thickest and can sometimes if not placed correctly rub on your ears. Some people with bigger ears might want to replace the ear cups which I might do in the near future if they don't break-in. My only other gripe is the cable its a bit long and might also want to be replaced with something higher quality and less bulky.

Mit EQ unschlagbar
Sehr bequem, raeumlicher Klang, zu hell ohne EQ. Alles um 10k ist zu laut - wie bekannt, aber mit EQ bekommt man alles, was man sich wuenschen kann.

Comfortable
Compared with the new version sold now, there are 180CM cables less.
Comfortable to wear, even more comfortable than the HD660, but like the HD650 and HD600, there is plastic noise when wearing.
I have bought many wired and wireless products from Sennheiser, and the quality control of the products is very poor.

Nice sound for a great price!
The balance of the frequencies and the quality and quantity of details is surprising! The reference sound makes it maybe the best option for someone starting to get into higher quality sound!

Bass isn't the strongest but worth buying

Exactly as expected
Great open back phones for the price point.
Delivers on every aspect, can reach pretty good levels of loudness, decent bass, has great sound clarity, comfortable and not fatiguing after hours of listening.
