Analytical listening headphones
The Sennheiser HD 560S is an open-back over-ear headphone designed for analytical listening sessions. Its neutral tuning targets audiophiles, content creators and gamers who need accurate sound reproduction for critical evaluation. The 38 mm dynamic drivers deliver a wide frequency response from 6 Hz to 38 kHz with total harmonic distortion below 0.05 percent at 90 dB SPL.
Capacity and headroom
With 120 ohm impedance and 110 dB sensitivity the HD 560S works well with dedicated headphone amplifiers, audio interfaces and higher-output desktop sources. The open-back architecture provides a spacious soundstage and natural bass extension, though it does not isolate from ambient noise and leaks sound, making it unsuitable for noisy environments or recording booths where bleed is unacceptable.
Build integration
A detachable 3 metre cable terminates in a 6.35 mm plug and a 3.5 mm adapter is included for direct connection to laptops, PCs and portable devices. Velour ear pads and ventilated earcups keep weight at 280 g for comfort during extended sessions. The wired design eliminates latency and battery concerns, freeing the user from wireless pairing or charging routines.

Questions about this item
Will the 120-ohm input impedance work well with my older laptop headphone jack without an amp?
The 120-ohm impedance is moderate; many laptop outputs can drive it to acceptable levels, though a dedicated amp or audio interface will provide better control and volume headroom for analytical listening.
How can I verify the HD 560S is performing correctly after plugging it in?
Play a familiar reference track; you should hear a neutral balance with deep, defined bass, clear treble and a wide, natural soundstage that reveals subtle details without coloration.
What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?
Included are the HD 560S headphones, a 3 m detachable cable with a 6.3 mm plug and a 6.3 to 3.5 mm adapter, plus quick and safety guides. No extra items are required for standard wired use.
