The HD 560S are open-back, so they aren't ideal for use on a train or plane. You (and other people around you) would probably prefer closed-back headphones for that.

Thats actually really good point. But are there any other closed back headphones in the same price around 150$, that would give me same immersion and the feelling of space?

When I tried them on for the first time, I heard open back for the first time as well and instantly fell in love with it. What would be a closed back alternative with a similar quality of audio?

AKG K55- series, Beyerdynamic DT 770, Beyerdynamic DT 700 Pro X are budget closed-back options with a wide soundstage.

The HD 560S are described as "Reference-grade headphones for analytical listening sessions" on the box, and as a HD 560S owner, I do think they're pretty good at it.

Not a reference headphone based on what?

Price?

Don't wear open backs in public, you're gonna be miserable.

Portable audio related purchase advice may also be asked in r/HeadphoneAdvice but please familiarize yourself with their rules first.

What questions are considered purchase advice?

  • A request for product suggestions, comparison requests, or opinion requests fall under the purchase advice rule. These can often be found by searching first.

  • Any suggestion or comparison request pertaining to headphones, IEMs, DACs, amps, or other accessories should be directed to the purchase help thread or r/headphoneadvice.

  • Asking the subreddit to help make a decision to buy a product does fall under this rule (e.g. "should I get dekoni pads for my HD650?").

Why does this rule even exist?

I'm certain that my post wasn’t asking for product opinions or purchase advice!
