It sounded underpowered by a significative stretch
too expensive
scratches caused by friction where the headphone is connected to the headband
listeners it lacks enough upper-frequency sparkle and extension
excessive side pressure from the headband was noticeable
lack of isolation makes the HE-560 unsuitable for noisy environments
noise-isolating sealed enclosure
Sennheiser HD-700 headphones can sound a bit harsh
OPPO feels significantly heavier on the head than the HE-560
HD600 lacks the ability to really rumble on bass-heavy tracks
s not a lot in the way of extras
they lack bass impact and extension
its bass is also touch slower and more sustained
noise of the busy streets

mini-xlr connectors
cymbals are a little too strong
LCD-X might sound a little slower sometimes
treble peak from 560 can get a little tiresome with some rock genres
