Looks like Frans has already posted measurements. It's a 120-ohm driver, so magic 8-ball says likely not as resolving as HD6X0. But easy to drive, and probably cheap :-) https://diyaudioheaven.wordpress.com/headphones/measurements/brands-s-se/hd-560s/

@monacelli Yeah they measure really really good.

It's $218 on the US Senn website

So yeah I highly doubt they out resolve the 6** serious.

When the HD660S and Audeze LCD1 came out you had reviewers saying similar things about how they "out detail" the HD6X0, and we know how that turned out. It's unfair to the HD560S, which I'm sure sound great for the price. Interested in how the angled driver affects stage too

I largely ignore the audio press and generally evaluate potential audio purchases once products have been out for at least 6 months, preferably for a year. Prevents me from having GAS and those with GAS have dumped the good stuff for 75% of what they paid used at that point.

"Angled transducers recreate the optimal listening position every time, without the need for acoustic room treatment"

... WTF?

7.5khz peak on the measurements posted above kind of has me worried. Angled pads > angled drivers. Angled drivers just a recipe for all sorts of weird reflections.

Also note he’s using a Topping stack while claiming the 560S outresolves the 6XX lol I really don’t think these youtubers heard the 6xx/600 on a good tube amp

My Senn rep shared some measurements back with me few months ago, not sure if I can share it officially. But the Senn rep was saying the goal on the HD560S was to roughly be the HD650 with extension to 40hz and little more even at 5k. Theirs didn't have a 7k peak.

We should be getting some soon and I was looking to send one off to Marv.
