The Swiss among headphones
The word "neutral" is used far too often in the context of sound.
We don't often talk about what "neutral" actually means, or what it is compared to - but here the word immediately comes to mind.
If you look at the measured values in the technical details, you can see 2 things in particular:
The bass is not overdone, the mids are exactly as they should be, and the highs are neither suppressed nor overly brilliant.
An attempt has been made here to create a tool with which you can listen to music as it sounds on studio equipment - for audiophiles as well as professionals, a look behind the scenes.
And at an incredibly fair price.
Reviewers agree:
Grade: A
The 560s at their current price is an incredible value. To get comparable sound out of speakers, you’d have to spend far more than $200 on room treatment alone. Speakers that cost exponentially more than $200 will not sound as accurate as these headphones. To anyone like me on the fool’s errand of searching for a taste of ‘objectivity’ in audio, I highly recommend considering the HD 560S.

Measurements:
What does it mean?
The dashed black line represents the Harman target, a reference frequency response developed based on consumer preferences. The green line represents the measurement of the 560S. In practice, it shows how much the headphone's frequency response deviates from the target. However, note that the target is highly smoothed, and it is not necessary to strictly adhere to the Harman target for a headphone to sound good.
The HD 560S has a bit of a rolloff in the bass due to being an open headphone, but follows the Harman curve pretty closely for an even sound signature with a bit of an emphasis in the 4 kHz region. This will be a very revealing listening experience, one that doesn't sound boring, but flat, in the best sense of the word. Also suited for audio production.
