    I’ve had my HE-500 since 2013 and have modded and un-modded them a few times around. The best enhancement I found was replacing the stock pads with FocusPad-A. https://a.co/d/1qWAShh

    HE-500 is one of my alltime favorites with their dreamy mids and classic Hifiman weightiness.

    Still regret selling mine. Purchased them when they first came out. Loved them. Think I used them with the Hifiman EF5 Amp. God that amp was warmpoo. Lol

    Forza Audio fixed the issue I had with the HE-500 stock cable which was too stiff creating considerable neck loading. Taboo mk4 provided the synergy that made these cans come alive for me.

    They are only best with the Yerg pads to tame that 8k peak and bring in some lows.
