Opinions on the hd560s vs hd600? I've owned a variety of headphones from quite a few different manufacturers but none have caught my ear like Sennheiser. I've heard the 560s is a more neutral 600 with better bass extension but for whatever reason I've never been able to try the 600.

The first and last Soundcore headphones I got (basically an older model of these) were discarded because the earcups came fully apart after less than a year and weren't removable or replaceable. I am not hard on my headphones, I've never had an issue like that before. Use that information how you will.

Sad because I usually love Anker, their Motion+ speaker may be the best portable Bluetooth speaker on the market, and I've used their batteries and charging cables for literally a decade

If I were you I would look at the Bluetooth headphones made by Sennheiser

I have the SR125e, it's utterly unlistenable stock but it's really just that loony 2kHz spike, bring that down with EQ and the rest of it is pretty well tuned.

I almost treat my gear in the same way.

Iems for detail/working at the office or commuting

Headphones when working at home and need to focus, also when I want a intimate listen and just want to focus in music

Speakers when want just to have that closest feeling of listening to music as in a live concert, soundstage is just unmatched by headphones. My only concern with speakers atm is that I just got a class D amp and an inadequate room (for now)

Edit: formating

Just get it.

It's the one time you can have really nice sound by just plugging into your phone/DAP and forgetting they are even there.

It's the opposite of the auto-teabag that is spending a fortune thus skewing your expectations, lugging around an amp, lying to yourself "hmmm I think I hear it. I think I hear why these are $900".

$80, no amp, weightless headphone that disappears on your head with REALLY open sound great for guitars and gets you stupidly close to everything else in Grado's overpriced line-up.

One of the best values in headphones and easily the best Grado value. It's a special headphone.
