Isn't it the same headphone? Or were you being sarcastic?
post #80 of 11710/28/12 at 5:44pmooo yes please! the akg k550 is probably gonna be my next headphone (albeit in decades) and im interested to know how the 551s will compare
post #81 of 11710/28/12 at 8:23pmThis. I'm not getting my hopes up.
post #82 of 11710/31/12 at 2:59pmI love love my K550s. Not portable though.
Can you do a comparison between the UE9000, M-100, Tiesto, and the K550s.
This is really the most amazing time to be a headphone enthusiast.
Oh. Where do I subscribe to you? I'll do what it takes to make you less "Small Time"
