Hi all, I have been relatively content to use my AKG K702s for my periodic listening needs.  I haven’t been monitoring what’s new lately but I am looking for new mid-fi cans for electronic music.  My two requirements are a large soundstage and respectable bass, which combo has been difficult to find in the past.  I don’t care if they are open or closed so long as they meet the above requirements. I am using a Burson amp so power should not be an issue.  I would like the soundstage to be close to the K702 but with more pronounced bass.  I have read about the Fidelio X1 and the K550.  Any thoughts or recommendations?  Thanks.

I don't want to sound like a fan boy, but you should check out the V-MODA M-100 too.

Heya,
 
Fidelio X1 would be the pick for mid-fi for your purposes.
 
Very best,

I also think the Fidelio X1's are your best bet. Hope you find what fits best for your usage.

Thanks for the replies. Can anyone offer any first hand comparisons between the AKG 700 series and the X1 in terms of soundstage?
