Holy crap guys. I have had the 500's in my spare bedroom since they arrived. The day the came I ended up in the hospital. The box that Gorthon sent me has never even been opened. 
 
I had pancreas problems  it seems my family has some herreditary pancreas duct issues and ended up carrying around a bag to feed me for months. I am in the process of moving and found the box today. I immediately called customer service and am shipping them back to headdirect tomorrow. I feel like such an ASS. I am so sorry to the community. It was a total accident. I have been a member here for years . I have bought and sold many things and would never intentionally tarnish myself . I  would never want to hurt head-fi and it's community and that was never my intent. I am SO sorry about everything. I have just logged on to my my account for the first time since the illness that has changed my life.  I have a ton of PM's that I will be getting to, I am sure some of these are about the 500's. Again I am SO very sorry. I did not even remember that they had came. 
 
I beg for forgivness and if you can't I understand that also.

Well, get well soon, or as well as you can under the circumstances!

Hello Hifiman, will there ever be a HE-500 with only one magnet? A lighter version without the metal bar running across the driver with good velour pads would probably be the perfect headphone for me.

Wondering if it's still going on. If it is, myself and a couple other head-fiers in the area would like to try them.
 
There are about 6 of us who live within two miles of each other and at our last meet, everyone explicitly said 'I'd like to try HE-500."
 
If sent to me, I'd like to try to organize a minimeet around these headphones. ; )
 
Personally I'm wondering if it's better than lcd-2. If it's more neutral along the HD 600 lines I may buy one. As for the others, if they think it sounds better than their lcd2's they will likely buy one.
