How does it compares to the K271 MKII? I'm listening to the K271 as I type this and I really like it's neutral sound through my Apogee Mini DAC.

The only thing that speaks for the K550 is that it has a rather good soundstage
I hope the 550s grow on you
The look no, reliability yes,lol.
I hope too,lol, for the moment its much better at 120 hours+.
Bis repetita, i don't really like the M50 then yes, i prefer K550,lol.
Portable = NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, its not a portable headphone or you must have a very very big head
Build = very good, even excellent for the price.
Durability = hum i don't know, they seem robust but if they fall ??
The sound signature between the K550 and the M50 is completely different. K550 has less bass quantity, but better mids, treble and a much bigger soundstage. But if you want a portable headphone, please don't buy the K550,lol.
If you want a portable headphone better than M50, try HFi580 or 780.
How long is the cable for the AKG K550? And where's the cheapest place to buy it that has shipping to US/Canada?
And is the AKG K550 that horrible when it comes to portability? Why?
If I have to choose between the ATH-PRO700MK2 and the AKG K550 which would it be for my needs?
