Nice prices for both of them. I happen to own both models and
they are very nice (for the money) and when used within thier
limits (dont A/B test them against Senn 600 or Grado RS1).
The 550's have a nice deep bass, very easy to listen to and
enjoy music with. The 625 are very different though, bass is very
strong, very tight, and deep. They are slightly on the bright side
but this adds to their "speed". This is the first thing I noticed about the 625's. They are very fast with lots of impact. I like
them quite a bit for the $25.00 bucks I paid for them. Again,
slightly bright but your taste may be different. One other thing,
the 625's are butt ugly, where as the 550's fold up and dont look
so silly on your head. I hope that helps.
