I bought a used pair of the HE-500 with the grill mod, silver colored cable, and velour ear pads off Headfi, and I am VERY impressed with them!
Blown away actually.
Excellent dynamics, deep, punchy bass, smooth, very slightly warm, detailed mids, great soundstage, imaging, and very detailed highs.
I think I actually prefer their sonic signature more than the HE-560, Sennheiser HD 650, and Philips Fidelio X2.
These suit my tastes to a T.
I love these headphones.
The only downsides so far, is the weight, and a slight brightness on some recordings. Otherwise they are an A+ in my book!
Has anyone tried the HE-560 cable with their HE-500?
If so, what are your thoughts on it vs the stock silver coated copper cable?
Thanks.
