Hey geko, do you have tried taping the vents?
Still loving my S500.... not purchased more headphones since then.
Hope those 200's iems ends my need for iems too.
I'm still waiting for my ATH pleathers but even with stock pads I caught myself using eq 2 with my e11. The s500 and the e11 are a pretty good match though.

Hi, A Happy New Year to all.
Have been following the thread for the last few days and think I am ready to pick up my 1st portable headphone. I'll most probably be making the purchase from ebay and would like to know if anyone have experience dealing with ebay seller hkasiamall. Seems that they are the only seller with stocks in Hong Kong and would send out in one day from confirmation of payment. I'm assuming it will reach me faster as I'm from Singapore rather than from being shipped from Japan. They also have a 30 day return policy compare to all other sellers offering 14 days and only ships the item out 2-5 days after payment confirmation. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hmm... I tried that with stock pads but the bass seemed to be a bit much for me on EQ2.
I must say that anyone that has tried my s500 has been thrilled and some of my friends even tried to steal them
Also it is more than common the "WOW" response as a short review on sound impressions.
Well, it depends on what kind of music you're listening to and at what volume. I did listen to some bass heavy songs very loud yesterday and eq 2 on the e11 was too much. I have to give some props to the s500 for being very forgiving to my ears even at very loud volumes. I seriously blasted my ears for 6-7 hours straight yesterday and afterwards I was perfectly fine. Usually after a session like that my ears are ringing pretty bad and I'm always wondering if there's someone at the door LOL. I might have to repeat the same session another time though because I was pretty wasted yesterday and that might have protected my ears from ringing in some way.
Anyway, eq2 with the stock pads would probably give me a headache.
I haven't purchased any since I bought my S500, but I did make a trade for a pair of HFI-780s. I love both of them equally but the S500 gets more head time because I can walk around with them and still have my glasses on....the 780s require me to have my glasses off.
I also have a set of CAL! coming ( a gift from a good friend) and I look forward to comparing them to my others....but at this point S500 and HFI-780 are the kings of my collection.
