Interesting...would you care to elaborate?
From what I have heard, HiFimans are supposed to be quite darker.
From what i have read the only one in the range that could be considered in any way dark is the HE-400, the 500 certainly is not, vs my Ms-Pro's i initially found them lighter in the bass end of the scale as they are an extremely neutral sounding headphone. I hate to use the old cliche but i am hearing things clearly with these i have never heard or noticed before with the Grados, and they are a much faster headphone too. Put it this way if you have the Grados upfront clear presentation on one end of the scale, and the HD650's dark and recessed presentation on the other, the HE-500 is right up there with the high end Grados, technically a bit above them too.
