First fullsize headphone: M50 or MS1?

This is tough. This is also (hopefully) the my last post about these two.

I tend to bias the music I listen to toward my headphones. I had the V-Moda Bass Freq, I listen to electronic. I had my Shure's I listened to metal and hard rock. I have my UE SuperFi 5, and I don't know what the f*** to listen to, but that is another story...

So either way, I will be happy. But I must tell you, since the death of my Shure's I have been missing good treble.

Does the M50 have good treble? How well does it seal? How comfortable is it?

How does the MS1 sound with electronic music? How comfortable is it?

Thanks,

Alex

I like the little hints saying that they are open and closed, thus different. I understand . I don't really care. I would prefer closed, I guess, but I wouldn't want to sacrifice sound.

How are they with big ears?
