Thank you both for your clear explanations. To be honest, I added the UE6000 because of the great review made by Tyll on innerfidelity, where he said (talking about the k550): "[COLOR=333333]This headphone was retired [of the wall of fame] due to the introduction of the UE6000, which I feel is a significantly more balanced sounding headphone."[/COLOR]
[COLOR=333333]I did not know the Soundmagic HP100 but I will take a look at it.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=333333]So basically, following your recommendations, I should go for the K550 (so far, I need to look at the Soundmagic or other if someone pops something else).[/COLOR]
For those prices honestly I don't think you could go wrong with any. And I think Tyll is awesome and does great work for the community but if you stay around this hobby you'll realize that he like warms headphones with a bit of bass boost and ressesssd treble with a darker warmer signature.
I do prefer the UE6000 to the M50s but agree that it is warm and dark, which would explain why Tyll liked them so much. I found that with a bit treble boost they are on par if not better than the Momentums. Plus the fit is better.
The seal on the K550s can be kinda a bother but I found I got used to it fairly easily after a bit of living with the headphones. I really don't like much about the M50 at all and I do think they sound too closed in and bloated but a lot of people swear by them which is why it's important to get several opinions and more importantly listen to stuff yourself, which in your case you can't do.
