Better square wave response, deeper bass extension, more balanced treble, and most importantly, substantially lower THD across the audio spectrum (which with better sources and amps is quite noticeable). I can't see anywhere, in objective tests, where the 500s are better.
He's entitled to his own opinion as you are to yours.
Also, "dominate" is a a bit of a strong word, isn't it?
Objective measurements back me up, but anyone can like whatever they want.
Last I checked, this is not CS or SBAF where opinions are crudely bandied about as fact. Some respect, please.
On the topic of square waves, the 300Hz square wave is actually more square-like in the HE-500. This suggests a more evenly perceived tone and even-keeled, well-grounded bass. Of course, Tyll's equipment is just one setup of many and variation and human errata are inevitable even in his.
Now, back to some new swell deals, huh?
