The k550 has by far the largest soundstage of all true closed cans i've come across. Thats why it's a true breath of fresh air to the world of closed cans, hence the positive reviews from tyll and what hifi.
The ed8 is actually very fatiguing to listen to. Its got an undoubtable mid bass hump and very forward general presentation. Combine this with how it's sounstage is rather small- fatigue.
It excells in many other areas compared to the k550 though.
From what i read about the sony, its no revelation. Small soundstage. There are plenty similar around- like the shure 840. I haven't heard it so i can't say for sure though.
