I can't explain it but I'm running both off of a BTR5 and the Earpods are either on par or better than the 560s. I bought the 560s in January as a first step into good headphones, listened to them everyday without a DAC or an amp, got the BTR5 today and the Earpods sound incredible. Can someone explain how I could possibly think this, am I mentally ill or should I return my HD560s? Do I just like the sound signature of the Earpods more?
Based. I’ll forever say that the wired earpods are a competitive choice in the price range, even with some great chi-fi options (some of which I think are honestly overhyped).
I've said the $30 Samsung Type C earbuds are some of the best you can get ad that price point, and definitely the best mic out of earbuds at that price. Also phones are losing the headphone jack and more devices are using Type C, making them way more convenient.
Depending on the music you listen to the stock tuning of the HD560S can be very boring/ not engaging. Have you tried to EQ them yet?
I believe EQ doesn't work with tidal
Google said it does. Idk
what would you recommend, I tried equalizerapo but it didn't work
That's what I use. Are u sure you set up everything right?
That's the guide I used to do it https://youtu.be/QFB9uBKyP8s
ill try that guide
if you are playing tidal in exclusive mode then it bypasses the EQ, try without exclusive mode
Your own preference > someone else’s preference. Also keep in mind. The more neutral a headphone is, the more boring and cold it sounds to most people who just want to enjoy their tunes
I found the 560s a bit boring too, doesn’t mean it’s a bad headphone. But you have to get used to a new pair of cans sometimes. And switching between 2 phones all the time does not give your brain enough time to adapt. If you totally can’t stand them, sure return them but I’d try to use only them for a few days and if you still hate them you can return them.
Other than that I really hate how the community hates on V shaped cans sometimes. V shape does not make a set of phones Bad it makes it different like all headphones are.
And bass is like the fat in food, it gives a good and tasty base for everything around. And like in food too much isn’t good and too little isn’t good either. And everyone prefers a different dose of it.
I'm thinking of trying DT770s, is that a good idea if I didn't like the HD560s?
Depends on why you don’t like the 560s. But the 770 pro has more bass and is more V shaped so a bit more „fun“ sounding. I personally really like the 770 and it’s a good entry into the Hi-Fi world because it’s V shape
ill try them, can always return them
Exactly. Try some cans, if you 100% can’t stand them return them. If you kinda like them but they sound a bit awkward/different give em some time. But never ever try to fix cans with a source or cables etc, it won’t work
The 560S is a dividing headphone. Many top famous audiophiles love it. Some users dislike it. I also disliked and sold it.
What AirPods? The max are excellent headphones.
$27 pack in earpods

Which AirPods you using? Looking to pick one up soon
They are using the standard wired Earpods not AirPods
I mean... You saved yourself a lot of money.
Anyway what do you mean by better sound?
Is the BTR5 switched to high gain setting when you use the HD560s?
This will only higher the volume.
how do I do that

adds gain

Yes and there is no shame in that. I too would rather listen to a Sony MH750 than an LCD 4, no matter what the community says :)
Do not be a sheep, follow your own taste.
