The HE-500 is better in pretty much every way but detail retrieval and sound stage width (and also build quality and comfort). Don't get the HE-560, it's not bad but it's quite worthless unless Adorama lists it for $320 again. The HE-560 isn't really more neutral, it's brighter, has slightly accentuated treble. I consider the HE-500 more neutral.
It slaughters every open back headphone below $1,000 save for HiFiMan's own Sundara which should actually be better, and maybe the Audeze LCD-2's depending on who you ask (their treble dip detracts too much though, they lose easily in realism).
