Sennheiser HD 560S & AudioQuest DragonFly Black (Black)

”If it’s insight you want, and absolutely crystal-clear understanding of a recording, the HD 560S make an awful lot of sense.” ’TechRadar’ – Recommended

Hear the music – just as the artist intended
Featuring all-new speakers with polymer-blend membranes, the HD560S achieves a level of insight and realism that’s ahead of the game. The headphones deliver sonic accuracy across the whole frequency range, meaning that every instrument from a cathedral organ to a hi-hat cymbal is perfectly resolved. If you want to hear to the heart of every recording, these are the headphones for you.

Open backs for open sound
The open backed design allows music to ‘breathe’, meaning it has a more spacious and lifelike quality. The EAR (Ergonomic Acoustic Refinement) angled drivers replicate the ideal ‘sweat spot’, letting you hear the mix just as it sounded in the studio.

Powerful bass
As well as providing a true and accurate sound, the HD560S headphones go deep down to the lowest notes. The new speaker units excel at the 20 – 50Hz range, which is exactly the point that you’ll hear most of the lowest notes – or not, if your headphones aren’t up to it.

True comfort
Thickly padded, velour-covered ear pads make these over ear headphones a pleasure to wear. For their size, the HD560S headphones are also light, making them comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

Connect to all your sources
Supplied with a 1.8-metre cable, terminated with a 6.35mm plug, the HD560S headphones are perfect for home use. They also come with a high quality 3.5mm convertor, meaning you can also connect to your Hi-res portable or other portable device.

Hear to the heart of your music, with the Sennheiser HD560S.

"With improved sound, and Apple iOS compatibility, this is the best DragonFly yet." 'What Hi-Fi? award winner 2016'. 5-star review.

The best value DragonFly yet - plus improved sound!
The DragonFly Black is the best ever value AudioQuest DAC. The new price point makes it more affordable than ever and the ideal accompaniment for your smartphone or tablet. Despite the price drop, the sound quality has been improved by fitting a high-spec ESS 9010 DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter). Better known for their use in top-end AV electronics, this 32-bit DAC provides stunning realism and dynamics.

Lower power consumption - ideal for use with your smartphone or tablet
With lower power consumption than before, the Dragonfly Black is now suitable for use with smartphones and tablets without undue battery use. Simply fit a USB adaptor to suit your device and connect up to an Apple or Android smartphone or tablet for a massive improvement in sound quality.

A sound upgrade for your Mac, PC or laptop
Whether you listen to music on your smartphone, tablet, Mac, PC or laptop, the audio quality can easily be improved. Whether you use headphones or have your device connected directly to your hi-fi, the DragonFly Black simply offers a massive improvement in sound quality. It bypasses the device's built-in DAC, instead passing sound through its own, high-end hi-fi quality chip.

Small package, big sound
Although tiny, the Dragonfly is every bit as impressive as many full-size DACs. Asynchronous transfer and twin clocks ensure perfectly timed and controlled digital information enters the DAC, for a highly accurate and precise sound quality. Compared to a computer/smartphone/tablet's headphone output you'll notice a more dynamic sound with more detail and openness. In essence, the sound will simply be more lifelike.

Supports multiple music file formats
Despite its tiny size, the Dragonfly will play a wide variety of music files. Twin clocks ensure perfect playback of 44.1 kHz (CD quality), 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz and 96 kHz. As a final neat touch, the dragonfly logo glows various colours to indicate the file frequency: green for CD (44.1 kHz), blue for 48 kHz, amber for 88.2 kHz and magenta for 96 kHz.

Make the most of your music on the move, with the AudioQuest DragonFly Black - don't leave home without it!
