so my sony ex500 are getting old and i feel their time is coming to an end and im looking to buy a new pair. The ex510 come to mind, but im not sure if its worth upgrading or if it can even be considered than upgrade. Anyone tried the ex510's? any better than ex500

I have both and still listening to them.. ex510 has more forward mid ( or i could say flater mid because i found that mid in the ex500 bit too recessed ) and better bass quality ( it goes deeper while the ex500 has more mid bass but less deep bass ) , better treble control ( i found treble in ex500 a bit sibilant and unrealistic but not as sibilant as ex700 ) and slightly better instrument separations... not a big improvement over ex500.. for me the ex510 is really2 a flat sounding phone.. not as fun sounding as the ex500 but it's definitely the better one... i think you better jump straight to the ex600.. they're cheap , even the new ex500 in my local sony store still more expensive than the ex600 from online store... i think you'll find a major upgrade from your ex500..

Thanks, however here in the uk the ex600 is 150£ which is over 3 times the price of the ex510s. Do you have any recommendations for headphones that are a similar price to the ex500 but better.

Good spot, are the Ultimate Ears 600vi and good, they are about the same price as the ex510s?
