I've been gaming with the HD 555s for a little over 3 years now.  I just recently purchased a Ear Force DSS 5.1 Dolby Headphone Processor.  I guess I'm just wondering if it's time for an upgrade?  If I purchased the AD700s or the HD 598s, will I notice a difference?  Am I fine with what I have...

BLOX TM5 - top earbud, competing with PK1 and OK1 Like with my other reviews, I would start from the end, so conclusions first: TM5 is the most efficient among the best earbuds and the best among the most efficient. It is on par with Yuin PK1 and OK1 in terms of SQ, but plays better...

Debating on which one to buy. Barely found out about these gems today. I'm leaning towards the SR850 because aesthetically they look better IMO.  I'm coming from HD595's. Anyone know how those two compare to the HD595's? Thanks a bunch.
