Reveal the truth in your music

Today’s audiophiles monitor their music with measured
purpose on a wide range of devices from headphone amplifiers, audio interfaces,
computers, and more. The HD 560S delivers the linear performance required by
analytical audio enthusiasts at a breakthrough value, allowing the listener to
have an honest look inside their music whether for pleasure or productivity.

Open earcups for open minds

The HD 560S features an open-back design that provides
natural propagation of sound waves. The E.A.R. (Ergonomic Acoustic Refinement)
angled driver alignment recreates the optimal triangular listening position you
would find in hi-fi loudspeaker setups and high-end recording studios. This
combination creates a wide, articulate soundstage without the need for room
treatment, letting you hear the neutral version of your music unaffected by the
artifacts of a confined space.

Signature sound

The HD 560S transducers are specifically tuned for accuracy,
offering dependable A/B comparisons of components, mixes, and media formats.
The entire frequency range is honest, complemented by smooth, deep bass
extension that reveals what nearfield loudspeakers often struggle to
reproduce—especially between 20 and 50 Hz. The 120 ohm transducer is all-new,
featuring a specialized polymer blend in its membrane for linear excursion and
improved brilliance above 10 Hz. The drive magnet offers highly efficient power
while its sophisticated damping system manages ventilation—this combination
yields deeper bass while mitigating the distortion that otherwise impacts
clarity—a difference only the most discerning listeners can appreciate. Whether
grading a new hi-resolution master or revisiting a vintage audiophile preamp
the HD 560S offers a fatigue-free listen that you can depend on.

Comfort is king

Although the HD 560S sound is rooted in the reference-level
DNA of the beloved HD 660S, its comfort mechanics are based on the chassis of
our ultralight HD 599. A headphone this neutral deserves a distraction-free fit
and a “barely there” feel on the listener’s head. Even the velour earpads have
been carefully considered to keep all contact points soft to the touch. The
open, around-the-ear design offers benefits beyond natural sound—the ventilated
cup remains cool without ever needing to touch the wearer’s ears.

It’s all about connection

Because audiophiles frequent a variety of sources, we
developed the HD 560S to provide an exceptional experience regardless of the
playback system. The detachable 3 meter cable (9.8 feet) provides the perfect
amount of freedom to access your gear, no matter how it may be oriented within
your setup. The 6.3mm / ¼-inch plug lets you connect to headphone amplifiers,
audio interfaces, and most hi-fi sources while a flexible 3.5mm / ⅛-inch
adapter ensures you can extract the most out of your reference material on
portable digital audio players and countless other audio devices.
