I know that my technical knowledge is not on par with a lot of your guys that regular this forum, but I thought I'd give it a go. If you don't gain anything from what I say, I hope you appreciate being able to see the K550s on video. Thanks, and any feedback is welcome!

Strange. AKG must have slightly editted these. The earpads and the headband cushions are different when I had it (I bought the K550 at release as well).
 
Anyway, good review. You say they're an upgrade from the K271. Exactly how do they compare?

When/where did you by these? It seems they changed the pads to increase comfort and seal - seeing as the first version had problems with that due to cup size. Having thicker pads that conform to the head would solve that problem.
 
I hope they use similar pads for the AKG K267 that is coming out this coming week, those look stupid comfortable.

I bought these from Amazon around March of this year. and that's exactly what I was thinking. The pads and cushioning seem more plush and "full" if you know what I mean.
