My very brief listening to these I so far enjoy them more than my Sennheiser 650s. A bit tighter bass and just overall more lively

Thank you both. So it does sound as though I'll need a separate AMP to get the best of them. Just plugging them into the headphone jack of the Receiver might not be enough?

I have a decent 3.1 speaker setup but I still find that using headphones when watching movies, etc. much more pleasant...better balance, soundstage, cleaner dialog...all those reasons.

Lol. I just came to the same conclusion. $350 for my first set of planars but screw it. Should be a decent jump from 9500s.
Reviews suggest these are bassy for planars so right up my alley.

I was going to use the sell of my he400i to supplement the purchase of the 560, but decided that they both are good for different types of music/movies. Both amped with a topping D30 with Atom amp.

Any comparison to the 560v3 from Adorama? Enjoy my pair very much, but it could use a bit more bass. The treble seems to have also smoothed out over time.
