The HE-560 proves that HiFiMAN is still at the top of their game. They retained the HE-500's good price/performance ratio, which was extraordinary considering it was a true high-end headphone. The HE-560 also retains some of the principal qualities which the HE-500 and the HE-6 have and is, in terms of speed and control, on par with the HE-6, though just as easy to drive as the HE-500, which is quite a feat.

If you are looking for a superb set of headphones that can be powered out of a not-so-ridiculous headphone amplifier, the HE-560 is a safe bet. The build quality is better than is the norm for HiFiMAN, and its sound quality per dollar is just amazing, even better than the last generation of HiFiMAN headphones, which says a lot. You, in short, get a lot of headphone for your hard-earned dollars.
