Tube amps do not play nicely with Iems in general!
The E500 fit and finish is a 10! Detached highs is the real issue. But I dont think you will miss that much because the super.fi's highs were rolled off a bit.
If you have a good amp it will help with the E500's high End.
Might wanna try triple.fi's or wait for the new Westone 3 before pulling the trigger.
The going rate for the E500's make them a good choice though. The fit is as close to customs I have seen yet!
