"Their understanding of the game, not only going forward, but also the work rate they all give for the team in terms of pressing and winning the ball back high up the pitch. They all help the team defensively," he added.
"The three of them are fantastic at that and going forward they are unstoppable when they are on it."
Coutinho, Firmino and Mane, bought for a combined fee of just over £70m, already have 16 Premier League goals and 10 assists between them so far this season, while all three are in the top five of WhoScored's statistical individual player rankings - which Coutinho leads.
Such has been their form, Daniel Sturridge is struggling to command a place in the team.
"I see them every day and, for me, they are world-class players. It's a pleasure to be playing with them. It's our job to ensure we offer protection for them when they are going forward and expressing themselves," Henderson continued.
"As a team I feel as though we have a lot of quality and in the final third they've been brilliant over the past few weeks. It was very good from them against Watford but then I thought we were very good throughout the whole team."
