Not really worth it. They're great headphones, however one Sennheiser is more than enough even for the most demanding listener.
If you're looking for an alternative, check out Beyerdynamic, Audeze, or something else. There's a funny saying going around that "if you've heard one Sennheiser's, you've heard them all" and it doesn't stray that far away from the truth.
I've owned Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro, Sennheiser HD600, Focal Clear Pro, Sennheiser HD800 and Kennerton Vali. I've sold the Beyerdynamic's (they were neat) and returned the Focal's (warranty return due to faulty construction).
From the above, I can tell that the price difference between HD560, HD600, HD650 (the reasonable range) and HD800, HD800S does not justify the purchase. Once again, they're all great headphones on their own.
