For me there was no way to hide what I bought (refer to sig) since my internet account is linked to my father's online bank account. I had a lot of explaining to do and I told him that I won't be buying any more headphones for this kind of money, little does he know I have dreams of an LCD3!
me? Nah..just a survivor

buy the new hd650's and you'll probably think it's a different headphone all together.
Actually, for that particular comparison, I preferred the D7000 to the LCD2 and could not say one was better, but they were certainly different. The HE500 just seems to stand out with some midrange special combo of detail and smoothness and
a grand bass (which is pretty well defined, just not on an SR009 level) and very listenable highs that I just don't hear on any phone under $1000, so I would say they are the phone to beat under that price. The HD650 is OK, but it has some flaws that show up from time to time, like a covered up vocal, or sometimes a shriek on a high pitched vocal, or a one-note feeling to the bass, and therefore, as a longtime (8-year) HD650 owner, I have to say that, yeah, the HE-500 is indeed that much better.

There are "new" 650s? I believe the newer 800s sound more mellow, but I didn't know the 650s had any changes (official or otherwise).

To get your LCD3 rig, you'll only have to sell both your kidneys and your E17, ipod, htc phone, sony laptop, Matrix M-Stage, he400s, and ie80s! LOL I'm aslo saving up for an lcd3 rig and I have to sell just about all my possessions, my laptop, speakers, ps3, etc. It's worth it though, heard them out of the schiit stack a few weeks ago, and it blows your he400s out of the water hehehe

As we all know..the he500 vs paradox is a contraversy not one of both sides of the camp admits the other is better. U like the paradox ( being the most extreme. Neutral phone around) or the more warmsounding colored he500.. I dont even mix into that thread anymore..as its not funny anymore..somehow people who like the paradox hate the he500..because he500 owners tend to believe that what i just said..the phone to be beaten under 1000.. And what happened.. Both phones are completely different..one is a more monitor sounding phone the other the more romantic one..u guess which one is which both are good phones..only for different tastes

This is why i said IMHO
Even now I don't think HE-500's are bad - they are maybe the best mass producted headphones under 1000$, but that doesn't mean it's cure-for-all. For me Paradox is slightly better, so i sold HE-500.
