Hello, I was wondering which set of headphones is the best, the Sennheiser HD555s or the Audio Technica ATH M50s? I listen to techno, dubstep and I also listen to classic rock. I also would end up using the headphones for gaming. The most important thing for me is the audio quality since I am able to adapt to mildly uncomfortable headphones and I have heard the ATH M50's for that, I really just need some conformation that this is the right choice since a friend of mine who knows headphones relatively well recommended Sennheiser headphones (Specifically the 518s but I figured the 555s were better). I am not looking for any sound coloring or any crazy bass boost. Also if anyone knows about the HD555 mod and if that really makes it superior to the ATH-M50 since it basically upgrades to the HD595s which are a lot more expensive. Thank you in advance!

I auditioned the SRH-1840 straight out of the box, and was unsatisfied with the sound, so I decided to give them a period of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite differences...
