Just got some hd560s in yesterday. It was a total impulse buy, a deal popped on slickdeals for $85 for a refurbished pair.

I'm happy with how they sound, especially given what I paid for them. They do sound thinner than hd600 though, which is my biggest nitpick. There's definitely more treble, but it doesn't feel quite as smooth as hd600. Bass feels like it extends lower, but the reduced lower mids robs them of some fullness.

That's just my initial impression, need some more time with them to get my ears properly acquainted,

Dt880 is still my current go to. Maybe my ears are just shot, but the peak doesn't bother me at all.

The $85 deal was legitimately very good! I told a couple people to buy them at that price. $200 seems steep for this but anything under $100 makes plenty of sense.

HD 560s cost close to 300$ in India and we rarely have any discounts ರ⁠╭⁠╮⁠ರ

You could always get a cheaper headphone, or wait for a discount on one locally

Something is off about the timbre and soundstage. Sounds grainy and plastic

They are fucking awesome. They are best for classical music, prog rock, jazz, andeveything involving guitars.
