Sure you gonna enjoy the 560s but of course no one can guarantee whether you will be wowed by their sound or if you even gonna like it. Everyone’s hearing can be vastly different. However, if it’s your first decent set of open backs, my recommendation is to give yourself some time to adjust to them. Your first impression might be - that’s a lotta detail and highs and none of the low end - your hearing will adjust to the balanced sound for a period of few days. After you are used to them, if you still feel like the sound is too thin/shouty - consider getting a basic entry dac/amp dongle like ifi go blu or something equivalent form fiio.

Just bought the same (awaiting delivery as well).

They are 120 ohms (weird) so you might think they would be hard to drive but they are also sensitive (110dB), so probably ok without amp but I ordered one anyway. Curious if the Sennheiser app has EQ for these.

My Apple USB-C/3.5" dongle does not work on my computer (iMac) but it is pretty amazing on my phone and iPad for a $9 product. Your laptop has a DAC, how good it is, who knows?

Yea, he overlays BK FR measurements on top of Gras FR measuremenst to prove that they are different?

We all know that... The BK having more accurate measurements is the entire point of its existence!

We also know that the old Harman target is NOT applicable to the new BK 5128 rig.

If you want to learn more, I highly recommend this video by Resolve from the headphone show the subsequent Q&A he did on the topic might also prove useful to further understand what he is talking about :)
