These earphones are absolutely amazing.
WhoIAm, you speak the truth.
After reading a bunch of reviews, I got a pair of the e500's a few weeks ago and am completely blown away. They sound incredible. Now when I listen to music from other sources like my stereo or my car stereo, I think they sound like crap (even though I'd always thought they sounded fine). Also, I now often notice parts of songs that I'd never noticed before, even though I'd listened to the song hundreds of times over the years.
I'm using the yellow foamies right now, but there is a long thread on head-fi about new black foamies that are supposed to be better. I ordered them from amazon but they haven't arrived yet.
So, if you're reading this thread, considering getting new headphones or iems and don't know what kind to buy. Go to amazon and start reading one rave review after another about the e500's. Then go to ebay and start bidding on some. I got mine off ebay new in box for $300 ($470 on amazon). Probably one of the best purchases I've made in a while.
