Not sure why that person claims the 560S has a narrow soundstage when it doesn't. Youtubers that are very well known in the audiophile space say the 560S has good soundstage, imaging, and accuracy.

Just to name the big names right off the bat. They all praise the 560S in all categories. I would take that person's reddit review with a grain of salt. As I've said, YMMV. Unfortunately you will have to go on own journey trying to find the headphone or headset that you're content with.

I'm still not fully content with the 560S and that's purely a comfort thing. I have a large head and big ears so I need headphones that can accommodate that. The H6pros are incredibly comfy for me but the audio leaves me wanting more.

I really appreciate your thoughts on this, thanks. How is that possible that I like Arctis Pro better than H6Pro? Everyone says that Steelseries is crap😄

I didn't like the H6pro open backs, at all. The pads were stiff and sucked. The audio was terrible. The closed backs were much better and had better audio imo.

The Steel Series headsets have wonky audio frequency response. Cheap plastic and QC issues. Check other subreddits especially the Steel Series one. People's headsets are breaking after minimal use. The wires inside the earcups break because of crappy soldering. The speakers blow or distort because of terrible QC. I had the Nova 7x for 2 weeks and returned them. Couldn't get them to sound right. Not comfy and hurt my ears constantly. To each their own. I will never insult someone for liking them but there is better out there. Audeze unveiled their new Maxwell wireless headset. Might look into that too.

So probably 560s is the best for it's price range, right? But the driver size is only 38mm, does that mean anything? Also, is it important to get everything as much in place in the box, as it was when arrived, when you return a headset?

When returning stuff just make sure everything is back in the original packaging. It doesn't have to be perfect. It just needs to be there.
