The pads in your photo look larger than the Dog Pads. Are these something else? Look a lot deeper.
Thanks!
The picture I posted was koalapear's K550s with Alpha Pads.

I just jumped on the Philips SHP-9500 drop before this one but it hasn't arrived yet. Can anyone give me a comparison between the SHP-9500 and the K553 pro? I'm thinking of grabbing this and just giving the other ones to my dad for his birthday.
EDIT: I'm using an EF5 tube amp to power them.
If you want a closed back for general listening, gaming + a decent sound stage, check out the A900x. Larger soundstage with better imaging to my ears compared to the K553

I like these headphones. Detailed without being bright, balanced, stronger bass than the K550. And the best thing? The fit is much more secure than with the K550. The sound (esp the bass) does not shift around if you move your head.
Special thanks to money4me247 for all his help in getting these for me.
^ Sure L1's are far more portable, but polar opposite in terms of sound. L1 are bassy with smoothed treble and k553 are neutral and balanced.
After a couple of hours doing some a b comparison, this are my impressions. Shp9500 have a slightly wider soundstage, the highs are brighter on k553 but not harsh, the mids have mor detail on k553, the bass it's tricky, in some songs sound with more quantity on shp9500 and sometimes on k553 but, the bass have more quality on k553 more control and the sub bass it's better, I hope that help you and sorry for my English. I was using my galaxy note edge, and later use galaxy note edge with fiio e17k as DAC, eq flat
