I will be getting the HE-560 so will be able to compare and expound on.

@hifimanrookie, love your Code-X headphones, they look fantastic and I hope they sound that way too. If Hifiman could release headphones that looked like that, then they'll certainly gain lots more fans.
I'm having a tough time to get over the "new is better" mentality that seems to have taken over the world. We seem to have developed an incredible obsession with new stuff, which I guess we can thank the gadget world for.. I can give endless of examples of classic sports cars that still give a lot of newer cars a proper run for their money, because they were designed right and then there are special modded versions of classic cars which are simply awesome from the original.
Headphones have more in common with sports cars than smartphones and tablets. People should evaluate and judge products on their merits, for what they are. The HE-500 for example is an exceptional phone at $700 and it will remain so, they don't have to drop the price. Just because Hifiman is releasing the HE-560 doesn't diminish their value in any way or make them obsolete, it will be a different headphone to be evaluated on its own merits. The Sennheiser HD600 and HD650 continue to be great headphones in the same vein. The same holds true for the HE-5, just because the HE-6 was released doesn't make the HE-5 obsolete, it has its own identity and as shown with the Code-X it can be modded to very high standards.
I am looking for a cable for hifiman he 500. I want a 3.5mm jack and a soft cable.
Is there another earpad I can buy for he 500. The one comes with it is not comfortable.

The LF339 with upgraded tubes could also sound pretty awesome. It could get you into Woo Audio territory for significantly less money.
I agree totally with this statement..being an owner of his sibling, the 337, for almost 2years of intense daily use with my he500 i fully confim with that..But do invest in the right tubes! And that last point can get to a very expensive point..
And about that but muddy sound on hybrids..i found that too..but i understand u can solve that with the right tubes
I haven't heard either, but I would think that the V200 would sound more transparent and have better prat. Some tube hybrids can sound a bit muddy. The V200 also works well with a multitude of other headphones, so if you have the budget I'd for it. The Lyr seems more in the V100 or Lake People G109 class. Interestingly in the V200 thread a lot of folks claimed the HE-500 was a better match with the last two compared to the V200. The LF339 with upgraded tubes could also sound pretty awesome. It could get you into Woo Audio territory for significantly less money.
The 339 looks damn good
Since you've read the 337/339 thread do you know what happens in case I need to repair it ? If I find a shop which can repair it , they refund ?
And the 339 doesn't seem to perform so good with others cans .. (maybe I'll get the successor of HE-6 in the future or an audeze..)
