I am interested in these AKG K550s and would like to use them out of iPhone 3GS. I wonder how they compared to ATH-ES10s, Sony Z1000s or Ultrasone Edition 8 as portable cans w/o amp. I hope they will have balanced sound and decent soundstage. I had ATH-ESW9s (out of HM-801) before and hate their forwardness and closed-in sound signature.
I have no doubt that all these cans will improve with a good amp. However I am looking for portable full-sized cans that sound good w/o amp and look nice (M50s, Shure 840s look bad on my head). For using with amps, I have LCD-2s and DT880/600s with Beta 22. I do not want to bother with portable amps.
