My pair finally arrived. Comfort is good on my average to slightly smaller noggin. Sound out of the box shows nice bass, ok mids and treble. Compared to my K550 they have a bit more bass slam, more neutral mids with less detail, treble is not as sparkly or detailed.
Initial reaction was these are not as nice as the K550. But I adjusted the volume to find their sweet spot and when I did they started to grow on me. They sound best at a louder volume than the K550 but their sweet spot is a lot funner to listen to than the K550's sweet spot. These can also go to louder levels without being as fatiguing as the K550.
All of this is first impressions. I will now burn these in for the night and see if there is any change. I hope the mids loosen up and treble gains so added sparkle, if the bass gains anything I hope it will primarily be in the sub-bass region.
