Song is called 'Opalin' and starts @ 0:16:50 into the album.
Enjoy.

Nice picks, they really showcase the HE-500's capabilities. I especially enjoyed the Aes Dana track. Man, I love that buttery smoothness!

also just woke up for a bit after leaving my HE-500s burning in some more. the sound is really opening up. im surprised how good the he-500 sound already

 
Congrats DG on your HE-500. I'm sure it will complement both your HD800 and the T1.. IMHO

The Aes Dana album, pretty good, I just let the whole youtube video run. Very nice. Similar to Carbon Based Lifeforms.

Just downloaded both of your suggestions. Great stuff! Thanks.

Justin does a great job

that Aes Dana album was good! 
 
im listening to my trance/electronic music now and i'm really impressed by how good the HE-500 sound, i wasn't expecting them to sound THIS good. the treble, is just beautiful, gives the music a creamy smooth ethereal sense of air, unlike any other headphone, different from the hd-800, t1, or akgs. the ortho sound i guess maintains weight even in the treble, never thinning or losing naturalness. and the bass, as the he-500 keeps burning in, is becoming much cleaner and impactful. i miss the denon/fostex epic subbass, unmatched in the headphone world, but these are just better at everything else.
 
a few in particular i would like to share.
 
the bass is really clean on this and Veela is awesome as always 

 
Cosmic Gate was really good with the HE-500 in general.

 
another beautiful song.

 
underrated song, just love this!

 
once again, the he-500's airy treble really stands out. the bass is really nice as well.

 
one of my favorite songs

 
dubstep!

Looking for a good dealer for HE-500 in the states.  Where did you recent purchasers buy from?  Any quality issues that one should be aware of for this headphone?

 
I received exceptional customer service from The Cable Company. Highly recommended.

 

[radiolight]

Thank you all for your dealer recommendations. I'll look into them.

I would recommend a pair of the stock Denon pads.  No one seems to like them but me.  I love those pads on all the HiFiMans..  But we all know YMMV

 


I am gonna try them with D2000 pads then. Lets see whether another one to like them or not.

I really enjoyed those tracks, thanks! I'm loving the HE-500.
 
Also, your taste in music is impeccable.

Cheers Rezolver and Dubstep Girl for the music posts, enjoyed listening to them, Aes Dana and Veela are surely now on my short list =)
 
I like this mix from Armin van Buuren's Drowning. The original album is called Mirage and it is brilliant.
 
I like you guys suggesting music that sounds great on the HE-500 since music is what is behind all our gear.
 
Let me chime in with a few other great tracks:
 
You gotta love this bass, it really kicks. Nice atmospheric background as well.
 

 
This is of a different style now: country influenced singer / songwriter. In brief, she sings amazingly. This song is to make you melt down.
 

 
Enjoy

I don't know how this will sound on youtube compared to Spotify, but my HE-500 make this song amazing:

I've really been getting into Lindsey Sterling lately. Classical with a Dubstep twist. You simply must hear these songs on your HE500s. The YouTube versions don't really do her justice, she is a genius. These are worth a buck each. Hope you enjoy. 

 

[MickeyVee]

Love Lindsey! These videos led me to byuing the CD!
This is from one of my favorite albums of all time.. Moodfood by Moodswings.. Amazing on the HE500. Enjoy!
