Still loving them everyday, but I contacted hifiman about driver matching issue, bad quality stock pads and connectors becoming loose etc. and they agreed to replace mine for the new connectors and case. Good to see great support. Sending shipping fee is on me though.
I had the same issue after half a year. One side was suddenly quieter than the other. They replaced the headphone completely to a new one with the new connectors. Signature is still amazing. Love these.
It is always sad to see one of my favorite threads get kind of silent. The 560 isn't new enough now to be a buzz thread. Hopefully there is still an active group of 560 owners around here.

I listened to the HE-560 with mod grid since long time. This mod saves in air and soudstage.
But since a little time I retried the original grids and I realized that I prefer these ! Because the more intimate listening is less tiring, but mostly I find that realism is gained in tonalities and in the placement of instruments.
560 is a gem. End-game for many, including myself. It doesn't yet have the legendary rep as the HD650, but 650 has been around much longer. If HiFi Man can just curb its OCD for "perfection" (and cash flow -- witness the HE1K), and quit coming out with new models every 6 months lol, maybe 560 will have time to gain the exalted status it deserves.

Not sure where I posted it, on a similar thread, but I'd highly recommend an after market cable for the 560. Have been trying a sample of the Dana, and comparing the Dana and Norne Zoetic a bit on HE-1000, they both make small but significant improvements in the sound and my enjoyment of the headphones.
You know, that is one major reason I have never even really considered an LCD. Despite HFM issues, my perception is that Audeze may actually have worse QC and higher rates of more serious failures. Wasn't the LCD 3 notorious for failing drivers, like really bad? I would never buy one simply as the moment they are out of warranty you are stuck on your own. Now maybe I'm incorrect and hopefully somebody more in the know on the issue can correct me.

Haven't looked on the LCD-3 thread but those with LCD-2 & 3 say there is more failure of the LCD-3

As I posted in the HD-650 thread my Stax SRD-34 is 35 years old and still works great, if any of my current headphones last even half of that I would be really happy, will I still be alive to care remains to be seen
Some people are lucky and their memory and cognitive capacity remains very strong. My best friends mother is 90 now and when you talk to her she is as snappy and clear as anybody. Over the phone you wouldn't think she is a day past 70, if even that old. Some people just age extremely well.
