Analysis

The Sennheiser HD 560S is a mid range over-ear with 120Ω impedance and 110dB sensitivity. At 120Ω, these headphones drive well from most phones and computers without needing an external amplifier.

Your audio source matters more than most people think. Spotify High Quality is fine for casual listening, but with FLAC files or lossless services like Apple Music or TIDAL you'll hear a clear improvement — especially with mid range headphones like these.
