I knew someone would find that and quote me on it!
MK2 has absolutely zero on the HE-500, I'm just keeping them due to their extreme "party flavor". It's the Shures that have me slightly worried. But regardless, I may have to let these go. Not only have I kinda switched back to closed (they fit my needs better and provide me with the much needed minimal noise leakage), but I really don't listen to music as much on my desktop system. I'm finding I'm talking my iAudio 7 with my MK2 or SRH940 and going else where; whether it's in my comfy chair not at my desk, outside on the patio, or elsewhere. HE-500 is kinda stuck where it is, and any headphone with a 1/4 inch jack. I still really do want to try the W1000X, and will probably get that, but I'll be on the hunt for closed headphones now. We'll see about the HE-500, I won't say I'm financial tight, but selling it would definitely help me.
Great review Katun! Would you say the HE 500 are your favorite headphones now? =P I really have to hear it.
On the ATH PRO700MK2 thread, you said that you're keeping the Pro700mk2. Does that mean you're not keeping the HE500?
