Great sounding headphone. Their technical proficiency doesn't make them boring. An example I can think of is eating ice cream. For example, vanilla flavor (this is whatever you're listening to) from a glass bowl (560S) that does not take anything from the flavor. The idea is to focus on the ice cream, and minimize any distraction. Other brands may suggest adding hot fudge or sprinkles to add additional experience (this is akin to adding "color" to the sound), but a headphone like the HD 560S just want the sound to speak for itself
