    Does anyone have a pair they wouldn't mind sending out for a bit?

    I've been trying the HD650 experiment and understand the hype. But, it seems that HFM just gets me.

    I dismissed the 560 a while back, but want to give it another shot. I'm looking for a good set of HFM cans to use at work (I use and love the HE-500s at home). The 4XX are also on my "to try" list.

    I'm not a "friend" yet, but I do have a HE-560 I may be willing to lend in, say, early August, for like 2 weeks if you want it that long.

    I need it for now so I can do a comparison of the 560 to my AFC.

    It's kinda the opposite of the 650 imo, its pretty lean in the bass but definitely still present. It's actually closer to the opposite of the AFO- it has a clean reserved lean bass and elevated highs, where the AFO has a lot of bass (comparatively, at least).

    Out of curiosity, where are you located? If you're around Illinois (Chicago general area) we might be able to meet up, just so I can get some sort of insurance that you'll get it back to me (I'm generally too trusting and it always bites me in the arse). Otherwise, I'm not entirely sure how the whole verification thing would work and how I could definitively verify that you are who you are. You might know better than I how to go about this.

    Much thanks all. This was a while ago and my HE-560 desires have vanished into the clouds.

    An HD-800, on the other hand...

    Not necessarily related to OP's request, but has anyone ever organized a Chicago-area meetup? It seems like there's a good bunch of us out here, but I've never seen a meetup other than AXPONA.
