  I do not suggest buying the AKG 550, it's a very dry sound, nothing musical to it at all.
I'm not going to search for the thread, but I know some avid QC15 likers. 

Got it.. I already own a QC15. But, after listening to AKG550 I quite like that..

Oh. Okay. Then get the 550!

I just wanted to post out here, and see if others would recommend a similar headphone to that of AKG550 or share their experience of listening to other brands.

HarmonAudio (AKG) sells refurb K550s with a factory warranty, on eBay, my winning bid was $180, some have won for less.
Current bid is $117 (free shipping).

Thanks fro the eBay link. I know one of the members recommended FiiO E17 as an amp... Is there any specific reason why I should choose this over an older model? Would this Headphone work wither other amps better?
 
Thanks.
