HiFiMan HE-500 and listening to Molly Hatchet "Regrinding the Axes"

All I can say is after owning both (HD650/DT880) for almost a year now (HD650 4 years), I am glad I dont have to try and pick one over the other. One day I think one is better the next its the opposite. 

Breaking in the New Year with the Grado SR80i. 

Congrats jontron. 

Congrats bob439. Enjoy!!!!!!

Toxic is definitely in the running for sure. The only drawback to them for me is the importing thing, but they sure look nice and people rave about them.    I have kind of settled on either Toxic or MoonAudio Silver Dragon. I have the Black Dragon on my HD650 and I really like it.

Awesome set-ups pelli!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!!

Quote:   First off congrats on the HE-500 and very nice pics!!!    I couldnt agree more on the cable and I cant wait to replace mine. Even though I have been saying that for about 2 months now.....lol I just cant decide what one I want...........besides all of them.

While I am not a one headphone type of person, I did part with my D7000's. I never listened to them that much and didn't really see the need to keep them when someone offered me a pretty good offer on them. To this day there is still times when I miss having them around.  I would think long and...

Having a Blues night on the HE-500's!

Quote:   I thought it was funny and blunt, but it drove the point home very well. 

Quote:   Very interesting thoughts LugBug1. Maybe until I get my hands on the LCD2 I will just enjoy the "poorman" version. Then switch back to the velours for the differences you describe. 

While I dont own any MJ, but Mariah sounds really good. I really like female vocals on the HD650!!

A little 80's Thrash being pumped through the HE-500 this morning.  Considering the date, maybe I should be listening to Doom?  Quote:

Now that I have had my HE-500's for close to 2 months and all but the first week has been with the velours. After jerg's comments above I am going to go back and revisit the pleathers. I have felt for a while now that these are borderline being to bright for me, so maybe this will change that. ...

I wish you the best in it arriving tomorrow. That really has to be torture not knowing and then the BIG wait if it isnt.    Good Luck!!!

Very nice pelli!! I have been considering one of those myself. Just not sure I want the hassle of re-cabling to use it.....lol

Congrats BobJS, even though mine have not been getting much headtime lately they are still one of my favorites.    Enjoy!!!!!!

Very nice Headzone & tdunks!!  

Sharing a little love for the HD650's today.

Very nice thread, nice to hear every-ones impressions. Those LCD-2's are very sweet looking LugBug1.    I am currently enjoying the heck out of the HE-500's. Someday towards spring/summer I will be adding the LCD-2 to the collection. From there I will probably take the step to a balanced setup.
