Honestly if you have a big collection of headphones it's worth having a big collection of pads, there's usually something better than stock, but you can't never know for sure before trying

There’s tons of probably better than stock sheepskin options on aliexpress I wouldn’t worry about that

Been curious about these but since I already feel my 177x are a bit too heavy I won’t even try lol

Mercadolibre, pero mejor espera que esten en amazon o la tienda oficial de sennheiser

Not really better imaging imo, they don’t sound as 3d, they do sound bigger but mostly just taller not that much wider.

They’re better headphones all around for music, but I was super impressed with the 560s for gaming, don’t have them anymore to compare cause I couldn’t stand the clamp but the one game I played with them was ghost of tsushima and I thought they sounded crazy 3d, might been the actual game post processing tho, still for that reason get something that works from the controller imo.

For the ps5 I’d just go with something that can be driven from the controller, I’m using shp9500s atm, the only way I’ve made external dacs work is through the tv optical out and the mix gets iffy for headphones cause it thinks it’s speakers…

And honestly I kinda liked the 560s more for gaming than the XS.

It’s important to note that anker probably has the best app, comes with a proper eq and once you set it once it stays embeded on the headphones
