I got the HD558 for a friend and used it for a few hours. I was quite impressed. It was quite like my HD600, kind of mid-centric and a bit dark. Soundstage was again similar to the HD600, an airy sound but not super wide mostly because of the forward mids making it sound just a bit 'in your face'. If you've heard the HD600 I'd say that's kind of the signature and style that you can expect from the HD5x8 but with a bit less high end extension. Probably even more like the HD650 than the HD600 in that sense but I haven't heard the 650 so I can't say for sure.
