To be honest, I have found myself over the last month or two utilizing Bass Boost on my HA-2 more often that before when listening on my AKG K550 MK II 'phones. I still find it can be "too much" the majority of the time, but for certain bands or certain kinds of music (usually heavier rock songs), it seems like Bass Boost isn't overly powering and actually make for a fuller sound while not masking the other frequencies as far as I'm concerned. So I guess it really does have its "place", but you really have pay attention & use your best judgement. 
 
Anyone else feel this way?

Hey Girl, 
 
So it's been 2 mos since you submitted the above post..........did your friend end up getting the non-planar AKG K550 MK II? And how about you? Just wondering. 
 
Hope all is well with you.
