    HE500 will sound better than HE6 in 90% of chains, and is the only tolerable HFM in completely stock configuration IMO.

    GLWS!

    I think they excel at jazz, classical, and acoustic music better than Sundara with a good amp. I find myself listening to more pop and classic rock and looking to move to some LC2C's.
