I was wondering if the Hifiman HE-500 would be an upgrade over my Senn HD-650's? I mostly Iisten to mostly Rock music.
 
Thanks,
Ken

I think most people may be wondering what you are plugging your headphones into / your source.
 
For the headphones themselves.. that question is relevant to my interests

I am using an iPod classic (non compressed music), Cyper Labs Algorythm Solo, ALO RX Mk3 amp.

Wow. No one wants to offer an opinion? Surely there are people on this forum that have listened to both.

The HE-500 was a clear step up from the HD650 for every genre in my opinion.

X2.
I owned 650's for many years and didn't find anything I liked better until the HE-500. The only place where the 650 wins is comfort.

I have the same question and until I get any responses, I am holding back my HD650s

I can give you a good deal on 650's almost brand new with Cardas cable.

If it is the one which is there in the classified section, then it is a bit above my budget

be aware that the HE500 is about twice as heavy as the HD650

It's not there yet.
