Hey I have been looking for new headphones in the $100 range and I have narrowed down my search to the M50's and 558's.
I'm not here to ask for which one is better but for a proper comparison between the two, like how the mids on the M50 are compared to the 558 and stuff like that so I can use my judgement to determine which headphone is right for me.
If you want some background on me I currently use XB500's but I'm not a basshead and I listen to basically all genres excluding country and electronic but I mainly listen to hip-hop, rock, and soul and stuff like that. I could care less about sound leaking from my headphones as I do not care if people hear what I'm hearing; in fact, I want them to hear what I'm hearing.
If I get one of these headphones I will use it for gaming and I have heard the 558's have an excellent soundstage. 85% of the time I use headphones are for gaming but it will probably increase if I get new headphones.
Also I heard you can hear the pick hitting the guitar on the M50's; can the 558's do that?
And of course if you have better recommendations for headphones please point them out.
