I had my mind set on HE-500 when i ventured into the desktop scene... but a good offer for T1 was up that time, and i grabbed it without hesitation.... LOL

anyways from memory, HE-500 and T1 sounds different... T1 does some things better but its most likely due to personal preference when choosing... I can confirm that HE-500 does bass and warmth better than T1... bass hits lower and retains longer... T1 is on the neutral'er brighter side.. imaging, separation, soundstage width,depth and prolly height is better on the T1.... thats all i can compare sorry folks..

but I've grown to love the T1 sound while owning it.. smile.gif don't regret not getting the T1 Ban-Kun... there's not much you lost lol.. next upgrade for you will definitely be cables smile.gif

Well unless, you plan to build a rig around the HE-6... then that'll be ok...
