Frequency response notes
The measured response follows the reviewer preference curve closely in bass and mids, with a narrow emphasis near 5-6 kHz.5Reviewsoundguys.com/sennheiser-accentum-plus-review-110432Read 5 October 2026Same exact unit and firmware, Objective Measurements text. No plotted numeric points, target curve deviation or review scores converted to dB.
Flat sound signature. Bass is slightly underemphasized at -4 dB and treble is balanced at 0 dB against the reviewer's target. The reviewer says the headphones lack a little low bass, as open-back headphones often do.17Measurementrtings.com/headphones/reviews/sennheiser/hd-560sRead 21 October 2026Public review header: Sound Signature Flat.
