Neutral (flat, not Harman) open back with better bass extension, treble extension and soundstage than the 600 series, and the best clarity yet from the 500 series (but not 600 series level). There's some minor treble spikes (to promote soundstage) that some can perceive as higher still due to how the drivers are angled.

These would be great open backs for gaming, pretty much any music genre (including EDM-based tracks, which normally lose a bit with open backs), but doesn't have quite as natural a presentation or timbre as the 600 series (particularly the HD 600 and the 650/6XX).

    Anyone know how these would compare to something like the Drop 58X Jubilee? Would they work fine with Audient Evo 4? Am an audio noob so anything would be helpful! Thanks in advance

  • $126 for the HD559 in stock ain't bad at all

      Hopefully people aren't reading this and thinking the 560S is a minor upgrade on the 559. The 559 is very warm, very v-shaped, so basically sucking all the value out of Sennheiser's drivers and their house sound.

      The HD 560S has improved drivers compared to the rest of the 500 series line up.

      The 599 is a similar signature to the 560S, but the 560S is a clear improvement in measurements and technical performance. It's also $167, and the deal has previously been posted.

      I guess that depends on what you mean by bad?

      Imagine providing numbers without any context and thinking that's helpful in deal comments. Imagine being able to use the comment tree successfully too.

        If people are interested in headphones, they'll research. Who would blindly buy $260 pair of headphones? I doubt the majority of the population will sink $100 extra for muh soundstage and be better served by the cheaper Senns anyway. Anyhow, enjoy the gear.

          Mate I am providing reviews and measurements, you're just being confusing and flipping numbers around because you've decided these are too expensive.

          The HD 599 deal is posted on this website. Go away.

          People blindly buy expensive shit all the time.
          Remember the people who spent some $200+ on Beats by Dr Dre?
          Or more than $500+ on BOSE speakers?

          I do get where you are coming from though.
