I own the HD600 and the 560s. I kept both. I think they complement each other for different styles of music.

I don’t have these but I do have the 400i. The wider band allows for better distribution of weight. I had the DT990s and they would cause some fatigue.

HE560 is a planar and definitely a high-end headphone compared to the ones you own. I would say its an upgrade.
But it doesn't mean you will like it. Also Fulla 2 may not be ideal to drive these

Short answer, no.
The left and right connectors prevent you from using something like the SmartBean that could attach to a headphone in directly without a wire.

Good to know. Perhaps next time they go on sale, or in stock, I'll get a pair, and compare them against my 58xx, and 400i. Hopefully, I can return them easily, if I wish to.

Would you say these would be a worthwhile upgrade from a pair of Beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro 250s? I'm hoping the 560 V2s are much more comfortable.

Folks at the HiFi forum have received their V2 and are complaining that these don't sound same as the original HE-560. In fact, the sound signature has changed for the worse.
