what had you disliked about k550? to me it was something amazing, with everything there. it is balanced as can be, detailed, and pretty transparent to the music.
to me, a more recent example would be Z7, but not totally overrated. the KEF M500 is pretty bad, before that was he560, and before that was my k701.
yes. this is how they should sound.
amuzingly, this sound was extremly correct compared to the source!
But, yes, this is about how they sound. you experience was normal. but bass was really not lacking. you should had returned if you were not able to get decent isolation. bass was good, tight just how it should have been.
this is about them, k550 sound boring, exactly flat. i never buyed them because my dj one pro have more treble, more soundstage, more bass, more fun, but for being linear and flat and neutral, not necessarly natural k550 is the best mid fi headphone.
Yeah. that's fair enough. Perhaps "overrated" is the wrong term, just "disspointing" on a personal level. Although SQ aside, I think the design deserves criticism even for mid-fi.
