HiFiMan – HE-500 Headphones Review

HiFiMan’s HE-500 headphones are burning up the Web with rave reviews. “Guys, it is really hard not to get impressed with this headphone,” notes Mike in his review for Headphonia.com. “The HE-500 is definitely the best Hifiman headphone I’ve heard.” “Straight to the point, the HE-500 is the currently best headphone of Fang Bian’s ortho stable,” observes Srajan Ebaen at 6moons.com.The HE-500 orthodynamic headphone uses a special driver treatment for improved midrange and to make the ‘500 easy to drive. HiFiMan’s Fang Bian told 6moons.com, “The HE-500 is better than the HE-5LE in almost every way. While the HE-500 lacks the HE-6’s ultra clarity, its sonic signature over a regular headphone amplifier is pretty close to that of the HE-6 over a high-end amp.” And we have to note at this point that the HE-6 costs a chunk of cash more than the HE-500. So that makes the HE-500 a tremendous headphone for the money!
