      Steven Stone reviews HiFiMan's $899 HE-560 planar headphone, which promises to combine the sonic attributes of HiFiMan's flagship models in a less expensive, easier-to-drive design.Read more
      Not having tried any of HiFiMan’s previous full-size cans, the HE-560 impressed me more than I had anticipated, going so far as to replace the Sennheiser HD600 as my full-size reference headphone thanks to the outstanding bass performance and clarity.Read more

                The he560 is more precise and neutral than the Hifiman Sundara. But, the treble is less emphasized. They are less tiresome than the Hifiman Sundara because of the strong grip on the headband given by the Hifiman Sundara.Oct 21, 2020

                The HiFiMan Sundara 2020 are better for neutral sound than the Sennheiser HD 560S. The HiFiMan deliver audio more consistently and have a better passive soundstage performance. They also have a much better build quality.
