Sennheiser HD 560S (Black)
Over Ear Open Back Headphones
£139
With their smooth yet detailed sound, the Sennheiser HD560S headphones let you hear your music just as the artist intended.
Hear the music – pure and simple
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 3-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.

Look them, best value headphones I’ve ever had
I prefer listening to these over the Audeze, Grado and others that I’ve had previously. Great with all genres, I find them very comfortable and most of all I’m enjoying most listening to these. Sounds even better using a 4.4mm balanced cable into my A&K compared to the 3.5mm provided.

Great Sound without braking the bank
I do regularly purchase headphones, most of them wireless, but I noted wired one got three major benefits: the first one: immediate start - no need to turn them on and wait for pairing which sometimes could be quite frustrating, the second one: no need of charging, and the third one: more bang for the buck - for less mone one could get better quality of the sound. This is my 3d encounter with Sennheiser wired headphones. The first one was back in 2014 and they cost me around £35, then 2021 4.30 series and now : the divine HD560S. I am still actively using Sennheiser 4.30i which stays in one of my apartments and I am very happy with them especially for gaming. My latest purchase Sennheiser HD560S are specifically for hi res music and YouTube, but recently I had my online speed awareness course with them as well and I was impressed how well they do performed on Zoom - I was virtually at the very place of the course and only my eyes told the brain that I am in my own room. The speech was clear and comprehensible, The music becomes 3D with visualisation of every instrument. Every night , after work I feel excitement that soon I am going to put them on my head and I will be teleported to every place that I am listening sounds from. If I am in the gym, I am anticipating the sweet comfort that soon my ears and brain are about about to experience. Saying that I have to say that Sennheiser HD560S are uniquely comfy with their large plush earcups. Their open design also prevents the claustrophobic sensation of ear fullness and disorientation that sometimes comes from one of my previous favorite Bosse 700NC. I did gifted them to my nephew and I never looked back. Thank you Richer Sounds for giving me so much fun for the measly £149 !

Superb detail reveal
Arrived yesterday, listened to a track I've listened to for over forty years on different formats. Via these excellent headphones I discovered hidden details in the mix. Can't wait to listen to more music. Spoke to telesales before my online purchase the evening before item arrival; unparalleled service that was helpful, reassuring, attentive and confirmed that they can beat competitors best prices. Item was delivered on the dot. Excellent product, excellent service. You make me smile Richer Sounds. Thank you.

Just right
These are my first proper pair or headphones. The sound is very neutral. So they don't add anything like increased bass to the original recording. The Open back make the sound more spacious. Great for the price.

Good quality and comfortable
I bought these headphones as one of two recommended by Richer Sounds following an email to them asking for advice. Particularly good service by Customer Care when I came to place order. If I remember correctly Joe was the name of the person who took my order and arranged very prompt delivery.

Great headphones
As ever the service from the shop in Reading was excellent. The headphones are superb: light, comfortable and so much better than my elderly Beyers
