in my personal opinion and listening experience HD 560s are definitely great headphones and certainly sounds great I would never say that they didn’t I just cannot imagine a scenario where somebody would listen to a pair of 560s and then put on a pair of HD 600’s back to back and say well it’s obvious I’m gonna walk away with a 560’s.

Indeed, I can’t even think of anybody’s opinion on Fidelity that I trust that would ever choose a pair of 560s over 600s after listening back to back.

Again not at the 560 just don’t have a certain flavor and signature character that’s quite pleasant- if I had to provide a word to describe, it would be very warm and almost colored like warm butterscotch.

However, the 560 will never have the driver reaction response in the low end of the six hundredths in terms of speed, nor tightness nor the firmness in the upper mid range, and especially not the very present clarity in the higher end that is just almost as perfect as a headphone can do just sloped at the absolute perfect point to retain accuracy yet almost obliterate any harshness and mind you it does all of this on probably the widest variety of musical source material that I can say but any other headphone has ever come close to retaining its character, strengths, and predictability as the 600’s in this regard.

JDS Atom Dac + (109$) with their UAC1 fallback cable (10$) works perfectly with PS5 3D audio. You can save a little money by buying b stock which is what I did. Then you can hook that up to whatever Amp you want and you’re good to go.

DT880 Pros were my first pair of hifi headphones. I can't be bothered to pick them up since I've gone to planars. The DT 880s really do have this really high treble that I believe would be worse if any dampening material is to be removed. The bass is very flat but overall have a nice balance compared to mid centric HD600s.

Maybe just change out the grill itself to an more open one.

It's actually super innovational graphene-sphere membrane made of several graphene spheres positioned inside one another and controlled by nano-electromagnets with room temperature superconductors, you should try it to understand what a deep vibrant rich sound it produces.

It's only a bummer they used those cheap-ass cables instead of ultrathick pure gold ones and that i made this up because i'm waiting for my bus and am really bored.
