Its really easy with multimeter. Do you have one?

 
I suppose I could do it that way, but I'm American, ergo vis a vis lazy
 
One I made for Audezes

Couldn't you use a single 4 pin XLR?
 
Pin 1 = Left 1
Pin 2 = Right 1
Pin 3 =  Left Ground
Pin 4 = Right Ground
 
?
 
I think that's how my HE-6 cable is.  Seems ridiculous to have dual XLR plugs.

Is that correct? I am making some balanced cables for my HE-500 in about a week and if that is the case, that's awesome.

Yes 4 pin XLR of course
 
Dual XLRs... I wouldn't wire them in such archaic fashion

I recently got a new pair of 500's from Moon
 
Kinda scratching my chin over how the pads are meant to stay in place. Just wondering if there's meant to be an additional ring or something, that may have got lost?

Anyhow, they are sounding superb and I measured the drivers to be well-matched (0.4 ohms difference).

 

[WNBC]

Nope, that's all.  Seems to have worked so for me and I've tried the ring with other pads as well.
I got mine from Moon as well.  
HE-500 have continued to impress me.

It just seems that not all four of those bits of plastic always clip into place, even if you press down firmly from the front of the pad.  Are they meant to line up with anything on the inner cup?

 

[Rebel975]

Nope, they don't line up with anything. They just go under that lip and kind of free float around in there. The pads will never seemlessly line up with the cups either. However, all 4 clips should definitely go under the lip. Don't worry about bending the pad a bit to make them all go under. These new pads are pretty tough, whereas the old ones would break if you looked at them the wrong way.

 

[BrainFood]

okay, thanks.  Good to know there's nothing wrong with mine.

How do you guys measure the impedance?

 

[floorpug]

+1..
When my 500s arrive, I would like to test the impedance during the 30day test period.. but dont know how.
I will create some mono sine wave tones and listen to whether the sound is coming from the center or not.

With a multimeter

It's been explained in this thread and the HE-400 thread. try the search, I could do that and copy paste the answer but I'm watching the news
