How do you like both the HE-500 and LCD-2? If you had to choose one, which one would it be?

Having owned both I can say they both have their place. For a 'one size fits all' headphone I'd pick the HE 500, but for me the LCD 2 beat it out. Since I listen to a lot of bass heavy stuff and the LCD 2's bass texture and depth are pretty much unmatched.
 
Both are a fantastic choice and with used LCD 2 prices and the new HE 500 price...They're pretty much on the same level.

I do wonder why la figaro/darvoice would have chosen a 3 pin xlr/TRS combo jack, rather than just a locking TRS... 

Perhaps they want to assert that it will drive a K1000/HE-6.

 

[TheWuss]

That would be 4 pin xlr, no?

You are correct.  The EF-6 has four-pin balanced just for the purpose of the HE-6's termination.

They would, if it were a 4 pin combo jack (which I don't even think Neutrik makes), but that looks to me to be a single 3 pin combo jack... not the right connector for a balanced headphone.

i have 4-pin neutrik silver contact connectors terminated on all my headphones. single 4-pin xlr is a balance connector and much more logical then the weird dual 3-pin xlr configuration with headphones. 4-pin xlr on headphones make more sense to me personally.

 

[liamstrain]

Agreed. My point is, the 339 posted above has a single 3 pin xlr/trs combo jack on the face. I don't understand this choice.

XLR and balanced connection are designed for pro audio use, thus 2 x 3 pin XLR choice is more consistent. 4 pin XLR isn't nearly as common.
 
TRS is actually a somewhat flawed connection, as the plug is being inserted or removed, there is a possibility that the right output and ground be shorted which would blow the right channel output. This is especially true for high end headphone amp that is capable of providing gobs of current in split seconds. A 3 pin XLR for unbalanced stereo termination would eliminate that risk.
