My opinions
Sound
The sound produced by the HD558 is rich, a bit light, and isn't bloated with bass which is a good thing. It has a crisp treble and punchy bass, very great...

The AKG K550...
I just bought a pair of hd-580s from Jeff. As it turned, out he lived about 30 minutes from me and I was able to pick them up earlier today. They are in good shape and they sound excellent to my ears. Communication was excellent and it was a pleasure doing business with him. Thx again, Jeff for selling me my first pair of hi-fi headphones .
I just bought SAA Equinox HD600/650 cable that he has reterminate to miniXLR for AKG.
He's very communicative, his price is cheap and reasonable, quick shipping, and very very friendly.
Bought the Headamp Pico DAC only version from Jeff. It was perhaps the smoothest international transaction I've done so far and he was nothing but helpful and prompt in answering my questions and following up with the necessary documents/paperwork. Shipped across the Pacific in matter of 3-4 days. Would not hesitate to recommend his services and look forward to dealing with him again.
I bought a pair of balanced K240 sextetts from Jeff. Great communication, fast shipping, and what everyone else said is true. I wanted to point out one thing, though. The packaging of the headphones was extremely professional and immaculate, among the best I've seen. It shows he puts a lot of pride into his dealings on Head-Fi. I highly recommend him.
