KEF M500

[adequate]

Am curious if any bro here tried on the new KEF M500?

yup... sound signature is warm, lush and smooth, kinda like sennheiser momentum but more resolution and better balance overall... one of the best sounding portable IMHO...

too bad the fit is slippery and the sound isolation is not very good.

It's selling for $44x at Stereo SP. Sound pretty nice, very comfortable too. But as aforementioned, it won't stay in position if you move your head around. Isolation isn't very good either. Probably better for home use than using outdoor. Almost bought one, but got too many headphones and IEMs already...

Bro,

Any recommendation for something closed, nice design ( since I'm wearing outside ), good isolation.

Sennheiser Amperior/HD25 are pretty good for portable on-ear headphones, isolation is very good. V-MODA Crossfade M-80 is very nice sounding on-ear closed back headphones too, but their isolation isn’t as good as you expect. Other option would be the Sennheiser Momentum – earlier over-the-ear version or the later on-the-ear version. But they sound quite different to me, and personally I prefer the earlier over-the-ear version, well, not really true over-the-ear headphones, most people would use them as half-on-ear I guess

Some would think that the ED8 might be the best closed-back portable headphones. But I do feel they are a bit too exp for using outdoor I think.

For on the go, I still prefer IEMs.

definitely must try. imho one of the most comfortable on ears in the market.
Impressed with the sound quality as well as the wide sound stage. Also happen to see a review on head-fi on the M500s:

“KEF M500 Review” - alpha10’s Review of KEF M500 Hi-Fi On-Ear Headphones, Aluminum/Black

Very happy with these new cans of mine
