The Sennheiser HD570 & HD270.
HD570:
Generally nice to listen to.
Soundstage is not too good, tight bass is practically non-existant when it is not powered by an amp.
Comfortable to wear.
HD270:
Doesn't sound "open" or wide.
No soundstage to speak of. Bass is better than the HD570's.
Uncomfortable by default. Clamping pressure is too high and leather pads trap heat quite a lot.
On a side note, I prefer the more, tame (if I can put it that way sound of the HD570's. I can't stand the HD590's which I tried at a local shop. Although the HD590's are admittedly more clear than the HD570.
