I absolutely love the sound of the HP50s but the shape of them has always bothered me. I'm looking for something with a similar sound sig but perhaps a little bit higher up the ladder. Any suggestions? I was thinking of the Sines but I've read a few opinions that place them more of a 3 out 5 than the 5 out 5 they initially received.
 
I use my phones on the go with a Cowon Plenue M.
 
Many thanks.
