Both the 560s and the 599 are listed for the same price on Sennheiser's website. Sennheiser say that the 599 are the best headphone in the 500 series but I've heard that the 560s sound better. Please could you help me decided which headphone to buy as they are the same price. I'll probably be powering them out of my dell inspiron laptop and I don't listen to music particularly loud. Thanks so much :)

I bought the 599 like 1.5 years ago. The 599 is on sale several times a year. Atleast here in Sweden. Something to consider. I wanted them also because I read they were a bit warmer. They have a little bump in the bass for an open back. I mostly use them for gaming honestly though with the Series X and using the Dolby atmos app.

In my experience so far they sound natural, pretty crisp and full. I switch between them and hyper xcloud alpha. I like both of them in different ways. More oumph and closed off with the Alpha and more crisp and detailed, less hot on the ears and I can hear if someone knocks on the door or whatnot. I like this combo.
