I have completed my "Black Pearl" mod to both sides of the HE-500 drivers. The improvement higher volume or transient is quite obvious. Only now the HE-500 is able to take advantage of the HE-560 angled pads to move the sound stage before my head. Before I cannot tell much difference on sound stage between using HE-560 angled pads or the stock HE-500 velour pads.
The cymbal sound has the most improvements. Before the mod, cymbal sounded quite one dimensional and I can tell it coming. Now it has got more layerings.
Overall it is worthy of my time spending 4 hours gluing 160 4mm half-ball beads to the HE-500 grids.
