I'm listening to these cans right now. I really like them. These are my first cans in this price range and I've got nothing to compare them to, so I can't tell you much useable info about it, but I can tell you what I feel: I have never heard so many details in my music, and it feels live...

OK I DID IT They're on their way!   Only 175 EUR here in Denmark (both 7 and 9 % price reduction!) Can't wait

Arvan do you think they'll fit soul/jazz and hiphop/reggae? :)

So you think K 550 is a waste of money for iPod use?

Thank you for your answer msninja.   I am a "beginner" and do not have any hifi-equipment, I want some good cans, and then I fell in love with these.. But I don't know if K 550 is too "good"and expensive for my PC and iPod nano without amp. Should I look for something cheaper instead, or...

How are they compared to Shure SRH940? :-)   AND: If I buy K550 I will use it a lot for iPod. Is this an overkill? :-)

Will K550 be nice with ipod?   And keep the impressions comming!

Looks like I can buy them for 190 EUR here in Denmark :-) I hope they get them in stock soon

Maybe I can buy M50 somewhere else for around 150 USD...

230 USD is the price for M50's here in Denmark :/   And Liamstrain you say it's overrated? - What would you recommend then?

AKG K 550 or Audio-Technica ATH-M50? Which one is best?   They are both 230-250 USD here in Denmark.

I wrote to AKG support "Hello. I'm very intereseted in this product. I thougt it was released on the 1st of December? When will I be able to buy it?"   Answer: ¨"I can understand your interest in K550. It has been released – and is actually already sold out. The interest is amazing.  ...

Wasn't the 1st of December release date???   Or is there no release date???
