Just some light modding. I've just swapped out the pads and tuning foams for tygr pads and foams to get it to sound much closer to the tygr

Oh that's cool

A bit too long to read the topic but if you need/bass, forget about the HD560S. I had it and it's not a nice headphone for gaming and movies. Get the Tygr. If you can, the Amiron Home is also a very good headphone. Or DT880.

Thank you for your suggestions. 

The TYGR, Amiron Home and DT880 have better bass?

The DT880 is neutral but it does have bass. The Tygr is like DT990-bass with DT880-treble. But in your case, likely the Amiron Home. Tygr too so a bit hard to choose. I have them both.

I think the TYGR seems most interesting for me. Well I mean, the Amiron Home looks crazy too but so does the price hehe. 

Does the TYGR have a good, wide soundstage?

I know, right haha. Then it's the Tygr that will suit your needs/preferences. Great bass, perfect for gaming and movies. It has a wide soundstage.

You're welcome! You might like the Tygr and it doesn't fatigue at all like happening with the HD560S. Very boring, fatiguing quickly and no bass.

Well, it sounds good what you expain here. And bass is important to me, so the TYGR is probably a good headset try, after what you have explained. 

I see that a german seller Thomann have 30 days money back garantee, so it can't really end bad if I try the TYGR and I don't like them, for what ever reason.

Exactly. And comfort is important too and it's excellent. You can use it for many of hours without fatigue and pain.

Back with another update; 

Just got the beyerdynamic TYGR 300 R today and I've been using them for a couple of hours now, listening to music and playing Forza Horizon 5. Once again, I've EQ'ed these, for more bass and some minor mids increase. The TYGR sounds very nice, not as much bass as the B50s but the TYGR have enough and general audio quality is just as good, if not a bit better, but with a much, much wider soundstage - no longer sounds like the engine sounds (Forza Horizon 5) are coming from inside my head. 

 

@CTR640thank you for your suggestion, I really like the TYGR 300 R and will certainly be using these a lot going forward!
