I used the term forward reflecting the reduction of depth of stage. More accurately, forward could be replaced by a "not as deep stage". That of course makes instruments come closer to you. I will edit the post. HE-500s do sound much less forward (more laid back) than Grado 325is for example do. Cheers for the hint.
Okay. To most forward sounding means, that the high mids are accentuated as far as I know.
can anyone tell me how is beta 22 with he500?
In a simple word..
"Fantastic"
okay i see that you have a balanced one... what about the single ended one?? there shouldn't be much of a difference i think...

IMO: it depends on what headphones you use. Some scale higher than others. Some are very sensitive and don't scale well at all. The HE-6 and many other orthos would do better with a balanced connection. Other headphones like the HD800 IMO does better as well. Most will say it's just louder. I don't really agree. For example. It should be double the current / voltage going into the heaphones. Some headphones will benefit from this.
Note: The differences if any are very small..
I know this will open a can of worms. This is not the thread for this. Here come the flames..
Hi Pasquale, Do you mind describing the sound signature of the Soloist? If it helps, I have heard the HE-500 with the HA-160.
Cheers
I'm loving the HE-500,
came from the He-400 but decided to give the HE-500 a try and I don't regret it one bit, Now I'm sort of in a limbo on whether I should sell of my HD650 or keep them as a secondary rig.
The HE-500 definitely don't have as much bass as the HE-400, but everything else is balanced out in the mids. I think I'm at the end of the road with hifi, I don't see myself upgrading anytime soon. The only other headphone I want to get are the Mad dogs (to make a portable rig).
I'm a happy man
