I've had the HE-500 for close to a month.. it's a marvelous phone. I listen to everything from classical, jazz/funk, fusion, and world music.. to liquid drum & bass, breakbeat, prog rock, hip hop, blues, and latin/flamenco.. it handles it all beautifully & in a highly engaging manner, to boot.
I primarily use it with my TubeDAC-11 (a wonderful tube buffered DAC/pre-amp/headphone amp made by the Yulong & re-badged/serviced by the fine folks at Grant Fidelity).. it sounds so lush & multidimensional (whether it be from the DAC or the Tube Out.. which adds a touch of warmth and expands the soundstage).
It's truly an end game can for me.. I simply have no desire to get anything else as far as full sized headphones go.
