Analysis
The Etymotic ER2XR scores 7.8/10 with 45Ω impedance and 96dB sensitivity. At 45Ω, it drives well from most phones without an external amp.
The Sennheiser HD 560S scores 7.8/10 with 120Ω impedance and 110dB sensitivity. At 120Ω, it can be driven directly without extra hardware.
Both headphones score equally. The best choice depends on your full audio chain — use our analyzer to find your actual bottleneck.
