According to our headphones expert
The KEF M500 are headphones for real music lovers. These headphones are designed with 1 goal in mind: the right balance for every genre. The M500 has a wide frequency range. From rousing hi-hats to thrilling riffs and from bass-heavy to energetic vocals: every aspect of the music is well articulated. The ear cups have acoustic sealing rings, which block ambient noise and prevent spilling music. All that's left is your own music in its purest form. The M500 fits comfortably thanks to its lightweight frame that adjusts to the shape of your head. After use, you safely store the headphones in the hard protective cover. The controls in the cable are optimized for Apple and don't work for Android devices.

As an alternative to a set of Klipsch X10i in-ear phones and a Sennheiser HD250 linear II, I chose this KEF. Both the Klipsch and Sennheiser are excellent HiFi telephones, but the KEF has a very pleasant wearing comfort and a very quiet playback. The highs and lows are both slightly less than the Sennheiser, but the image is very balanced. You could also argue that the Sennheiser has a little too much of both. The KEF has fairly large drivers that offer a semi-open sound. The cushions do not completely close the ears but are on top of them. It is nice stuff that is also better after fifteen minutes. The sound still needs to loosen up a bit, but placement is already fine.

The KEF M500 Silver's remote control is optimized for Apple and doesn't completely work with Android. You can't adjust the volume when you play music from an Android device, for example.
