My current at home headphones are the HE 500s. I'm looking for a pair of IEMs that would contrast that a bit so I can have a bit of variety in my gear. Some info and criteria: - I will be using these primarily on the go but do intend using them at home as well as a "break" from my HE500s from...

The HE-500s which I use tend to be considered slightly warm. They have a really wide soundstage with a notably punchy bass and exquisite mids that make it my daily. I got them for an absolute steal at $350, but you can for sure find one within your budget on the market. The stock cable I find to...

Wow, having some looks at the reviews has placed that as a solid contender. May have to save up a bit :)

My first hi-fi headpone purchase was the hifiman he-500 and I've really come to like its sound. The bose earbuds I have seem to be too muddy in the bass in comparison, and that (along with a host of other problems) is pushing me to get a new pair for listening when I'm out and about. I'm...

I usually do listen fairly loudly and yes I often do listen to classical (but electronic just as much, I'd say even 50/50) I should also mention that I found a deal for an HE 500 at $350 that comes with a high end XLR cable. I'm not dead set on the purchase yet but any amps that work with that...

Say I was to get an HE 500, what amps would you suggest?

What amps would suggest if I were to go with the HE 500s?

What would the difference between the 500 and 560 be?

Sorry for the late response, but I did some digging and looked at the HE 500s. With a re-grill mod they seem to perform very well, with the only problem being comfort (which is fixable). All the reviews on here seem to be nothing but good. I've seen some used ones going for around $300 to...

DT 990 premium/pro (not sure what the difference is but the premium has 600 ohm resistance, which I assume means I would need a beefier amp to drive)

I don't know much about Beyers' sound signature, but I've heard a lot of good things. Do you think they would be a good fit for me?

I've heard of that setup tossed around a lot, I'll have a look. The HD 650s lacked a little bass for my tastes but I'll see how things can work out I guess. Thanks.

So this is my first venture into hifi audio. I'm not going to delve very deep, just need a pair for casual listening from my pc and some occasional gaming. $500-$600 is my budget for a dac/amp and cans, but if you really think there's an amazing option that's a bit higher I could maybe push it...
