[Champ HkGt]

Thanks. Seattle is not like NY or LA, it's difficult to find a store to compare different headphones, and I want to upgrade my he560. I will try HEK.

Now, I use HE560, too. I think HEX is a better choice to upgrade if you still like HE560 sound. Compare to 560 the 1,000 has more neutral sound, The mid is warmer and thicker, The Bass is better both quality and quantity, Headstage is open wider with good imaging. LCD3 is great if you want to try something difference.
