Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
HD 560S is an open-back, over-ear headphone built for audio reference and close listening. Its angled transducers place the left and right channels in a speaker-like stereo presentation, with a broad sense of space and distinct imaging. The open construction also reaches into low frequencies, while the articulated midrange and refined treble suit extended sessions. Lightweight construction, a padded headband, and velour ear pads make it a practical choice for long listening periods.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Critical music listening where spacious stereo imaging and detailed placement are useful.
- Extended reference sessions that benefit from lightweight padding and velour ear pads.
- Moving between listening locations with headphones that collapse into a hardshell carry case.
Consider the trade-offs
