The HD 560S is an open-back wired headphone that stands out for gaming, especially FPS and other positional audio, while also serving as a detailed, analytical listen for music and production work. The sound is described as bright and fairly neutral, with a touch more bass and warmth than the SHP9500, and it responds well to equalization. Comfort and durability are strong points, and it can run from a PC or a small amp. The main caveats are the open-back leakage, the need for bass EQ if you want more low end, and the non-standard 2.5 mm locking jack for mic adapters. At around this price, it looks like a strong value if you want a comfortable, accurate headset.
PC gamers who want precise positional audio, because the soundstage makes footsteps and direction easy to pick out.
Listeners who prefer an analytical, bright tuning for production work, because the headphones follow a neutral-leaning profile and are described as easy to EQ.
All-day desk workers who wear headphones for hours, because they stay comfortable and can run straight from a computer without an amp.
Music listeners who want a warmer, slightly bassier open-back sound, because they are described as a touch warmer than similar models with a bit more bass.
Shoppers who need a reliable open-box unit immediately, because some units were reported dead or promptly cancelled.
Bass-heavy music fans who want strong low-end impact without EQ, because the stock tuning is described as light on bass and may need adjustment.
Listeners expecting a lush, relaxed hi-fi presentation, because the sound is described as analytical and dry.
People in noisy rooms who need isolation, because the open-back design lets outside sound in.

One annoying thing about Sennheisers is that they use a non-standard jack - it is 2.5mm I think instead of the more standard 3mm. And even worse, they have a "locking" mechanism on the plug - it's just a groove on the plastic part of that jack that you have to twist when you plug it in. This means its very hard to find a mic that will just plug in to the headset without an adapter. In fact, I have only been able to find one adapter - and I have looked very hard.
I really love the sound of these headphones though, and overall this mic/jack thing is minor.
As for the SHP9500 (and possibly the 9600) - you can make the sound warmer in those by changing out the ear pads to velour ones - I did that when my original pads wore out (yes, I wore them that much!) and now they are super comfy and have a nicer sound, too! IMHO, These two headphones (the Philips SHP9500 and these Senss), when they are priced around $80, are some of the best headphone bargains there are.

Nice post. Which pads do you use for the SHP9500? Thanks
