Granted, the HE-500 doesn’t quite retrieve ultra-subtle, ultra-low-level information the way the HE-6 can, but for many listeners I think it will not only come “close enough,” but will do so while sounding “just right.”

Watch for upcoming reviews of the HE-500 both from Playback and from our European sister magazine Hi-Fi+.
