Did M500 need burn-in? Now I found it sounds really phenomenal! Now I understand why it was highly rated. Very happy with it now!

It is a really easy to like signature for sure. I enjoyed the M500 very much and since have purchased a set of KEF speakers (R300) that I like very much when supported by two REL subs.

I burn in everything...just in case. I love the sound and the comfort of my Kef M500.

I forgot that you have the M500's. Heck, I forgot that I have them! Time for me to show them some love (after I manage to get the NH's off of my head lol)

Men, M500 is phenomenal when driving with a hybrid tube amplifier!

Like M500 day by day!

Can’t wait to hear them for the first time!

I have the black/black. They look gorgeous, sound great and are surprisingly comfortable. You will be happy

I didn’t regret my purchase per se but I definitely didn’t keep them - not comfortable at all to me, sadly. Sounded good and looked beautiful, though!

So sorry about this!

For those who love the M500 sound but wished a more comfortable fit and isolation here were my initial impression/thoughts about the Kef Space One wired headphone. Still may end up buying a pair before they go off sale.

Thought I'd share this here...

By pure chance, I came by a local shop that had the Porsche Design Motion One (made by KEF) on display. I hadn't even known these existed. Anyway, I asked for an audition and they're really really good. Moderately (but tastefully) emphasized bass, clear mids and refined treble. Zero sibilance or harshness. Detachable earpieces that can be used either via cable or wireless BT-necklace, both included. Earpieces have a swivel mechanism, which makes them comfy to wear both downwards and over-ears, despite angled nozzles. Very nifty... you can tell that a great deal of thought has gone into the design. Decent isolation. Overall pretty good value imo, for 250 bucks.

Bottom line, these strike me as a nice upgrade for people who love the M200, but want a slightly more reference-like (less bassy) tuning, better ergonomics, and the option to go wireless.

These came on sale here in Canada at Visions Electronics for $148 so I grabbed a pair today. HOT DAMN do these ever sound good! They have an amazing 3D quality and I love how they portray strings. The bass is elevated just enough to satisfy me but not bass head level. Way more comfortable than the M200.

I have seen comments about the MMCX connector failing but that's par for the course for that connector type in my experience. My plan will be to never disconnect them and hope that will keep them failing. But these sound good enough I might just go buy the 2 year over the counter replacement warranty just to be safe.

Any one has these?

They often go on sale - Bluetooth and wired.

Thx! I saw the wireless version of their full size headphones might give it a try.
