Sennheiser HD 560S Open-Back Audiophile Headphones — Reference Sound at a Breakthrough Value! $199.95 CAD (29% Off)

If listening to music means sitting down and paying attention to every detail, the Sennheiser HD 560S deserves a spot on your shortlist. Currently $199.95 CAD, down from $279.95—$80 off, or 29%. That's a strong entry point for an open-back headphone from Sennheiser's audiophile lineup.

Open-back earcups let sound waves expand naturally instead of bouncing around inside a closed chamber. The result is that "sitting in the room with the musicians" sensation people talk about. At 120 ohms, the impedance isn't trivial, but it's forgiving enough to run off a MacBook or a phone dongle. Adding a dedicated amp will unlock more. The 6Hz–38kHz frequency range means bass has presence without being boomy, while mids and highs stay crisp and articulate.

One design detail worth noting: E.A.R. (Ergonomic Acoustic Refinement) angles the drivers slightly to match the natural angle of your ears. This creates a wide, precise soundstage that works equally well for critical listening and casual enjoyment.

At just 293 grams, they practically disappear on your head over long sessions. The detachable 1.8m cable terminates in a 6.3mm plug with a 3.5mm adapter included. No Bluetooth, no ANC—this is a wired headphone built purely for sound quality. Over 3,500 reviews at 4.6 stars, ranked #38 in Open-Ear Headphones.

Best for: classical, jazz, and instrumental listeners; anyone who wants reference-grade playback at home without disturbing others; mixing and audio work. Not ideal for: commuting (open-back means sound leaks out), noisy environments, or anyone who needs wireless. Sennheiser backs it with a 2-year warranty. Finding a legit reference-class open-back at this price is genuinely rare.
