The HE500 was named one of the best under $1,000.00 headphones by The Absolute Sound. They said:
" HifiMan’s HE500 is one of the greatest headphones in today’s market and we felt it offered excellent value at its original $899 price; at its new $699 price it is a steal"

These superb cans and amps offer excellent value and sonics that compete with phones and amps selling for a lot higher prices. The HE-500 is a very high quality planar headphone that is easy to drive and offers superb sound quality. These phones came out at $899.00 and have received excellent reviews. Unlike most of their competition, that require expensive high powered amps to sound good, the HE-500 technology can be run with moderately priced and powered amps. These planars are like the Magnepans of headphones. Playback summed up with: "Consider this headphone if: you want a headphone that delivers pretty much the full wish list: ultra wide-range frequency response, accurate tonal balance, great bass, excellent resolution of low-level sonic details, and low distortion. Oh, and give the HE-500 an extra-careful look if you’re willing to use a headphone that needs a very good amplifier to show its stuff." And this was when they sold for $899.00. At $200.00 less now they are a far better value.

In the Inner Fidelity World Class Headphone comparison of multiple headphones including the $1600.00 Sennheiser HD800’s and $1000.00 Audeze models they summed with:
"The surprisingly good headphone of the bunch was the HE-500. They held their own surprisingly well in world-class company.
No,they didn’t have the liquid juicy goodness of the LCD-2, but they did sound somewhat more "right down the middle." I’d say these had the best price performance ratio on the table, and might get a stronger recommendation from me than the LCD-2, as they were a bit more tight and neutral, and possibly more likely to satisfy a wider range of tastes. I’d say these are not only great listening cans, but also great headphones for professionals who want something more pleasantly listenable than the HD 800."
