  • Lightweight 13.2 oz design with improved headband supports long listening sessions

Planar Magnetic Headphones with 45 Ohm Impedance

The HE-560 V2 is a full-size planar magnetic headphone built for reference listening in home and studio environments. Its single-ended driver design delivers a wide frequency response from 15 Hz to 50 KHz and a sensitivity of 90dB. A 45 Ohm impedance allows the headphones to be driven by modest-sized amplifiers. The package includes both a 6.35 mm single-ended cable and a 4-pin XLR balanced cable.

Suited for Critical Listening on Compatible

These headphones suit audiophiles and studio users who want detailed spatial imaging and a lifelike soundstage from a planar magnetic design. The improved headband mirrors the Sundara profile for long-session comfort. Buyers who need wireless connectivity, active noise cancellation or a lightweight portable form factor should consider other categories.

45 Ohm Impedance Determines Amplifier Matching

The 45 Ohm load is the key specification for choosing an amplifier that can deliver sufficient voltage and current without distortion. Both included cables measure 6.6 feet (2.01 m) and terminate in 6.35 mm and 4-pin XLR plugs respectively. The headphones weigh 13.2 oz (374.21 g).

Questions about this item

Will the HE-560 V2 work with my older desktop amp that handles 45 ohm loads?

At 45 ohms impedance and 90 dB sensitivity the HE-560 V2 draws modest current so most desktop amplifiers that cleanly drive 45 ohm loads will power it adequately.

How can I confirm the HE-560 V2 is performing correctly after I connect it?

Listen for a smooth frequency response from 15 Hz to 50 KHz with clear spatial imaging and no distortion at normal listening levels which indicates the planar magnetic drivers are working as intended.

Which cables come in the box and what must I buy separately?

The package includes a 6.6 ft 6.35 mm single ended cable and a 6.6 ft 4 pin XLR balanced cable so no additional cable is required for standard or balanced connections.
