Help me pick the best of the sub 200 bunch pls :)

imho I was expecting something more from the 560s when I tried them, but I assume that's because I use my momentum 4s everyday and without any analytical listening, these two sound absolutely the same. I know there is a difference and you can spot it, if you try to, but as far as I tested, all the S

Sennheiser PC38x vs HD560s

I wouldn't pick either given the options on the market (the HD 505 and 550 are both under $200 right now in the US), but between those two it's the PC38X and it's not that close; the 560S sound pretty poorly tuned on my head with a weird scoop between bass and midrange and deeply unpleasant treble.

Best wireless headset for pc gaming

I bought some Sennheiser 560s on sale from Amazon expecting the sound quality to "blow me away" like many claimed....my 1st gen A50s blew it away no comparison.

You guys were not kidding

Owned and used HD560s for a quite while until i got ATH R50x, similar Sennheiser’s mid-range and sound characteristics with extended lows, bit more natural, bigger sound stage and better imaging. Never go back to 560s again🥰

What headphone disappointed you at first...then grew on you?

From Sennheiser? Honestly, no headphone disappointed me at first but I came to like it after. In fact, with three of them it was the opposite. I liked them at first but came to dislike them later: Those were the Momentum 4, the HD 560S, and the HD 660S2. I immediately loved the HD 600, HD 650, HD 58

5th time's the charm?

Oh trust me, I have a 12 yr old pair of 560s I LOVE. But their new products are hot shit. If you can get lucky the first pair, awesome! But between me and 2 other buddies who used to swear by Sennheiser, all having terrible experiences with their products the past 18 months... Not worth it anymore.

Planning my next headphones for 2026, what should I be looking at?

I mean, you can swap the cable and the pads if you really like the 560S, though be aware that new pads will change the frequency response and you may be used to the slightly duller treble you've been getting with flatter pads. I personally find the 560S too bright, but you like them so I'd point you

HD 505 Copper – The Analytical One (Review and HD 550 / 560S Comparison)

Thank you very much :) So, with regard to the IE 200, they are just very tip dependent and also rely on the perfect seal. This is individually very different. To me, the IE 200 (with Azla Origin tips) are not problematic at all, especially not in the usually sensitive ear gain region. The IE 600 on
