I just ordered the Hybrid Noir HPC for my HE-500 and also the Hybrid USB and Interconnect cables. Can't wait to finally receive them. Cost me a small fortune, but since the HE-500 is here to stay (and so are my Lyr and Bifrost) I figured I might as well splurge and get the best. Very excited

Yes, they are both for the HE-500, and yes to that second part.

Bought a FAW Color Series HPC for my Hifiman 400.
I had a previous experience with this cable but with a different headphone, as when I bought my second
hand Sennheiser HD 600 it came with one of these.
Understanding the differences between the two headphones the results are quite similar.
Improvements over the original cables with brighter sound, more "light" for the sound in them, better sound
stage and I do not want to forget about the comfort over those 3 meters long cables.
Very satisfied.

I recently purchased a number of items from Matthew. I will be doing a review of his hybrid custom IEM cable and posting it within a week.
 
For now I would just like to say that the fMod (iMod) I had done by Matthew has been great! Great service and price. Also I purchased the hybrid LOD which pairs up nicely with my fMod and my custom 335 IEMs. The set up sounds great!
 
The price and overall customer service is impeccable!
 
As always thanks Matthew.

I bought a FAW Cooper Series V2 for my ath Es700, amazing cable, it improved especially clarity, detail and instrument separation. 
Even the built quality and the look are amazing.
Great job ForzAudioWorks :)

I just created an account on the FAW site.  I've see FAW mentioned favorably so much, that I finally decided to take a look.  I already have an interconnect in my shopping cart, and I also want to purchase a FAW Noir HPC for my Shure SRH1540.....I just need to figure out if the SRH1440/1840 cables he has pre-configured in the ordering options uses the same MMCX connectors as my 1540's.  I'm hoping I can get this order placed today.  I like supporting solid vendors like FAW.
 
EDIT:  Well dang, talk about service.  I posted my situation above, check my emails a few minutes ago, and there's a message from Matthew confirming the connectors are the same.  Order is placed!  Expensive shipping via EMS, but these look to be quality cables, and I can't wait to receive them.  Thanks Matthew!

Can't wait to receive my Noir Hybrid HPC. Already have my Interconnect and USB cable. They both look and feel great. Since there is such a cable debate on Head-Fi always I won't get in too much detail. But from what I've heard (could be psychological) my Audioquest cables had a little more bass and the Forza Audioworks have a little more detail and clarity. But it could just be my mind playing tricks with me because I was in a different mood or wrong song etc etc.
