The adjustment system is pretty good as there is a distinct click along with markers along the way so its easier to align them on both sides. The cups do not rotate (left – right) but can tilt (up – down). Metal headband along with a pleather band. Overall: For $350 these are a no-brainer and you should absolutely buy one if you have the means.īuild: Made out of metal and feels solid.

The key to those songs sounding good is separation and distinction for me. Imaging is fantastic, more defined and precise.Īnother interesting thing is I find these do much better on Sabaton heavy metal than the 560S and basically everything else I've had. More sibilant than the 560S in some tracks, less sibilant in others. Treble is similar in amount but much better in quality than on the Sundara than on the 560S. Doesn't have the same awful midrange shout of the 560S.

Similar level of midrange detail at first listen. Mids are more recessed than the 560S, but not bad at all. All aspects of technical performance are class leading except for soundstage, which is *only* 'above average'.īass is more present then the 560S, and it is fast and textured in comparison. Treble is wonderfully balanced with no large peaks and dips.Įverything has such a level of detail and finesse to it, the separation qualities are fantastic. Mids are dead neutral, no upper midrange shout. Bass extends well, never boomy or bloated. These have the best frequency response that I have ever heard. The adjustment mechanism does scratch the metal though, not a huge deal. Its odd that HiFiMan has such a well built headphone in comparison to Sennheiser not having a well built headphone with the 560S. My ears are a bit too big for the cups, and I bet that will be an issue after a while or wearing. I bet the actual force is similar, but the Sundara spreads it out more.

Clamp is there, but not as bad as the 560S, nowhere near. There isn't anything poking my ear like last time I tried these.
