I loved these. They sound so amazing for gaming. I only upgraded to the HD 490 Pro, which are even better but cost quite a bit more.

I'm a big Sennheiser fanboy and these are my favorite, more than my 599SE or 598 but that's just me. I love that these don't require much power but still benefit, so you can buy and use it now, and then later when you want to invest in a AMP/DAC combo these will sound even better.

They are pretty boring for music but the soundstage is incredible. Probably the best gaming headset money can buy if you play competitively.
Best wired gaming headphones under $300. Period.

This doesnt compare, not even close in gaming with the hd560s. I can tell you cause i own both hd6xx and hd560s. I use the hd6xx for music which they are awesome and hd560s for gaming. With a fioo k5 pro
The closer headphone i have tried for gaming almost equal to hd560s are the BD 900 x pro. (which i also own) but soon will be selling.

Btw it was $149 just a few weeks ago

Best Buy has these going for 50-55 bucks, open box in excellent condition, fwiw.

I own the 560S and I just recently bought the 6XX from Drop for 149.
Keep in mind that I have not fully broken in my 6XX just yet, so my opinion might be slightly off. I've tried both with my best headphone DAC/amp (that balanced Monolith with the THX and 2x AKM DAC chips)
to my ears the 560S are VERY good, especially for under $300. Wide soundstage, good detailed and punchy bass, very clear highs and mids-but I'm probably old and I seem to gravitate towards brighter sounding and detailed headphones. However, to me they sound like… almost perfect. Others may find their brightness fatiguing.
the HD6XX sound good so far-warm and detailed. But the soundstage isn't as wide and while the bass is punchy and detailed, it doesn't have QUITE the same punch as the 560S. They appeal less to me because they don't sound as bright, but maybe a bit more natural than the 560S. People may find the HD6XX more appealing and less fatiguing. Everyone complains about the clamp force for some reason but it doesn't bother me much.
I'm going to keep breaking them in and will provide further review of the 6XX.
TL;DR
The 560S for $149 is a steal.

Steal was the open box bestbuy of the hd560s just 2 months ago
For $60
Got 3 , 1 online and 2 locally. They were brand new. Not sure why bestbuy is getting rid of them

Quote from JollyWren8084 :
This was my first audiophile set of headphones. I was so absolutely blown away by the sounds id never heard before in the music I'd been listening to for 20 years that I almost immediately upgraded to the HD 600.

Then I was impressed again, so I bought the Hifiman Ananda.

Then I was impressed again, so I bought the Hifiman He1000se. End game. Be careful. This hobby might make you poor.
it was a big jump in sound from ananda to He1000se?

Entry level audiophile that punches well above its weight.
