For around ~$300. Listening to country, rap, some rock (looking for warmth and bass) coming out of my iPod for the majority. Some of main features I am looking for are isolation and to prevent leakage. Huge annoyance when someone is within ear shot of me and I can hear their music like it was...

Quote: I guess Im quite new to the idea of signature. But I guess what I am looking for is a "warmer" sound than anything. I listen to a lot of country music. Anything that would help that would be great. And I do realize if it's crappy quality music a good headset will only help so much. 

Ive read a ton of reviews and it seems 50/50 on the love/hate for M50. Ive heard a lot of good things about AKG K550 from many threads. As far as trying them on im limited to best buy which only carries beats, bose, and Sony x10. Believe me ive searched. Any other good suggestions?
