Didn't really like the HD 560S: the bass and lower mids lacked authority and the sound felt lifeless.

Their HD 560S is pretty good for the price, especially with their EQ.
After two months and some software tweaks, the HD 560S amazed them and made them an audiophile.
Returned the HD 560S because it sounded thin and bright next to their HD 600.
After almost a year with the HD 560S, they like its tuning but hear no soundstage or detail advantage over AirPods Pro 2.
The HD 560S sounds airy, but gunshots in games come across harsh.
The HD 560S sounds great with and without EQ, crisper and clearer than their warmer Sundara.
The HD 560S's recessed bass and shouty mids aren't for them, and the clamp never eased even after days stretched on a box.
Their HD 560S is beaten by their Truthear Zero:Red in everything except soundstage.
Expected their HD 560S to clamp hard after reviews, but it never did.
On their third HD 560S cable that has gone stiff, which drives them crazy.
The HD 560S was the first headphone to tick all their boxes: great sound, comfort, durability and practicality.
Owns both the HD 560S and HD 599 SE. Finds the 560S leaner, more neutral and clearer, easier to follow busy tracks, and would pick it for its clarity and balance, though the 599 is better built and more comfortable.
“while the HD 560S sounds leaner and more neutral. The 560S also sounds clearer to me, especially with busy tracks, where I find it easier to pick out individual instruments.”
