Sennheiser HD 560S vs AKG K702 Headphones

And this is one of the most enjoyable trouble responses for this price range. It is achieved level of kind of having some higher end headphone feature...

If you've invested in some good audio gear, these AKGs will let you hear a lot more of what your setup is capable of. I would recommend them if you're...

These are very detailed sounding headphones, the high frequencies are a bit sharp coming from closed back headphones but you get used to it, especially because you don't need loud volumes to hear details in all ranges, bass is definitely subtle, but punchy and sub bass has a nice range, its not like you'll notice its there but you'll notice if it isnt, depends on the song. Soundstage is hard to explain, coming from open back and in ear headphones and earbuds I always like the "inside your head" sound and coming in to these I was expecting a kind of out of head experience, which it can be, depending on the sound design, but for most songs, although there is a difference its not groundbreaking, people will mosly no notice. The bleedthrough is not bad and since i use these while gaming, my friends haven't complained about sound coming out of these, but then again i have a dynamic mic, also you wont hear your surroundings that well, i can barely hear someone coming into my room, so if you wanted more "spacial awareness" these won't really help. Now the one thing I struggle with is the comfort, it's not like these are uncomfortable but they're pretty tight out of the box, they're a bit on the heavier side of "light" and being used to "on ear" headphones having nothing touching my earlobes but my temples being pressed is a weird feeling, also the earcups are elongated so i feel the edges pressing against my jaw

Far from portable, the K 702 is a very large over-the ear set of headphones, with extra soft velour covered cushions. The real leather/metal wire headband distributes the weight of the 'phones evenly across your head, which means you can wear these headphones for hours at a time and they'll remain nice and comfy. And the headband is clearly marked "L" and "R" so you'll never make a mistake when donning the headphone. The K 702 is hand assembled and tested in Austria, which shows in that build quality, fit, finish, and durability are all first-rate

It is ear-piercing and hurts. I don't know why noise-cancellation is an option as these are open-back and no mic. The open-back design is nice as it expands the sound-stage. The headset is about half the weight of my previous headset so that is a plus, however the major flaw is how it sits on the head

It's not quite as light as the K240, but the cups are deeper, and you won't have issues with the driver hitting your ears and causing discomfort. Furt...

This is why I removed a star. Although, honestly, I have no other headphones that fit this price/profile to which I can compare these. Would doubling my budget to $400 and getting the Sennheiser HD 660S give me a better experience, similar to my old set? I wish I could tell you. To put my review in context - I listen mainly to Apple Music via a 24/96 DAC

There are so many other great headphones for this kind of money! I think I would have kept them if they were about $175 but definitely not the mid $300 range. I hope this helps someone make the right decision!

Long-story short: HD560S can be KING OF WIRELESS HEADPHONE depending on the configurations. Airpod Max/THX PANDA/Hifiman Deva is no match to LDAC/2.5mm balanced HD560S.

I paired these headphones with Ear Studio, ES 100 Bluetooth reciever. This allows you to adjust the output that the headphones recieves. It also allows you to plug headphones into it and stream the music from your music device you are using, I Phone works great! They are worth $100, to be wireless.

The HD 560's chassis is identical to that of the HD 599, though it's rocking an all matte black finish and a grill design that more closely resembles ...

Very comfortable on extended wear. The best thing is these are very good on long listening sessions, no fatigue or abrasiveness. A bit too warm, noticeable on female vocals. Bass is a bit too prominent on jazz and chamber pieces
