I sent the midwest pair to DVM915 last Monday. I've not heard from them, any mention of location since?

 

[baka1969]

I'll be receiving the HE500 next. Impressions to come. Although there seems to be plenty of impressions and owners already. lol

i don't know if it's the best headphone. Probably not, but it's THE best sounding headphone i have ever heard for sure.

I've heard them twice before. But not with my rig in my rack. So it'll give me a chance to listen to them with three different amps. The B22! The WA6SE and the WA2. It should be interesting.

I sure wish the loaner for the West U.S. would show up.  Hmm.  Maybe I could get in line for the Canada loaner?

 

[sokolov91]

Got them today (thanks again Chris!)
 
Well packaged and protected...
 
presentation is better than the HE-6 which was quite lacking, the design is more utilitarian too, but seems more robust (much sturdier cable, higher quality pads (i think) nice box with the fabric in it instead of the plain foam the HE-6 had etc etc). They are lighter, comfier, and I think better built than the HE-6.
 
I will have to volume match them as they are SE and my other headphones are not but a quick A/B was not in their favor compared to the HE-6. They seemed a little "tired" and are definitely not treble happy like the HE-6, but again it was 30 seconds with no volume matching. Will have some proper words up ASAP.
 
Thanks again to hi-fi man for putting this loaner together. Thinks like this make our community truly a great place to be!

I can't x2 that big enough. This is the second product from China to earn the "reference" label, the A Gd Ref. 7 & HiFiMan's orthos and I have been convinced.

 

[blankdisc]

i have Audio-GD's NFB-3 and Digital Interface. Both products are simply superb and offers the best value on the market. They can easily stand up to products that cost 5 or 6 times more. I wish i could try their Ref. 7, but i am also afraid that i will have to buy it after listen to it.

I posted my impressions in the HE-500 thread in the headphones forum (link below).  The short version is that they absolutely murder all of my other headphones in sound quality.  But a few of the very best features of these other headphones do rival those of HE-500.  Thank you Head-direct for making me hate all of my headphones.
