None of these on ebay yet .
HD598s which I quite like and described them as boring and bland.
Wait, so the cup fits completely around your ear, just like a circum-aural phone?
How is the leakage?
Rotating the big soft ear piece cups may make them a little better although, worryingly, the best improvement comes from pressing the cups firmly to the head which improves the bass and general tone. In my experience this kind of improvement always indicates a sub optimal fit in the first case.
On my end I find the M50s to work better on the go (using a portable cmoy and a bit EQ-magic) than the K550, despite being an AKG-fanboy.
If you just want to listen at your home/.etc get a real/open/semi-open AKG headphone.

Thanks for sharing this impression! What genres do you typically listen to? I'm on a hunt for a pair of good closed headphones for bedtime listening (so as not to annoy the wife), and both of these are on my short list.
