Are you a Basshead? Or a Treblehead? Or a Midrange head? A Flathead? Or....?
Flathead in general. But depending on the genre of music, I sometimes use Bass/Treble boost- xStreame

AKG K550 or Beyerdynamic DT 990,770?
To make sure your friend won't have any fitting issues with the K550, make sure he's doesn't have a small head and/or wears glasses. These cans really need to seal well to deliver their optimal sound- xStreame

Need New Headphones Please Help!
My current optimal 500$ setup is the AKG K550 + Fiio E17. The K550 are 32Ω, which mean they're easy to drive. I had the E7 for a long time but recently upgraded to the E17 for a even better setup. The K550 are super clear and they can be worn forever without pain. For the occasionally...- xStreame

AKG K550 vs Audio Technic ATH900 (Closed headphones battle)
Good review. I'm fairly surprised that the ATH900 seem to have bigger soundstage. I've always heard that the K550 have the biggest soundstage in any closed back headphone- xStreame
