REVIEW HIFIMAN HE500 A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH - Page 2

Great review Frank. You captured everything is was to be captured without using words that has nothing to do with sound like some others do. So many times I read reviews that talks about a glass of orange juice and cars and airplanes etc. You should do these more often.

I look forward to the day that you have a pair of HE-500's handy to compare to your HE-6's, Peter. I would be very interested to read about how you think the two compare. (On a vaguely-related note, how do those LCD-3's compare to HiFiMAN's flagship set of cans?)

your comparison of the T1 and HE-500 is just spot-on. I don't think I have ever agreed so completely with somebody reviewing two headphones I own.  Great write-up!

In full agreement. I love my pair. Was worth it even before the price drop. Now, it's just an amazing offering for the cost.

 

Very best,



thanks

Nice review. :)

 

I'll add some keywords of the HE-500 vs. the LCD-2 (r2) just for compariosn / context - Some neuances:

 

- The HE-500 has more treble presence than LCD-2 (def. perceived that way)

- Great vocals, but a tad more artificial than the LCD to my ears. Still better than a (traditional) dynamic headphone, though

- Bass is there and is very acceptable, but I perceive the bass to be more "one-note-bass" than LCD-2

 

HE-500 vs. HE-6? They are too different in signatures to post any neuances.
