the M50s are not really flat monitoring headphones, they do pack a good bass punch.

nothing beats sitting down and actually listening to iems and headphones. go to jaben or a meet where you can meet and listen to other headphones and you will get an idea of what are the mids, highs and lows.

a good all rounder musical iem would be the DUNU Trident, but its slightly over your budget.

If I still remember my experience with the HD558 correctly, it is quite balanced pair of headphones, neither too bright or too dark. Being the first pair of open headphones I try, the soundstage is great but it doesn't really impress me that enough to make me believe that open headphones have a wider soundstage than closed headphones - which is a consensus in the audiophile world. Don't get me wrong though, it's still one of the better ones I've tried, soundstage wise.

Due to my preference of music being bright/piercing treble, the headphones didn't impress much. It feels like a more laid back headphones, treble is quite tamed and the bass, despite being punchy, would definitely be considered insufficient for basshead. Sound leakage is a problem too as my friend can hear me playing Taylor Swift songs (which I used to find the missing treble)  laugh.gif

Can't say I like the headphones, I just feel that it doesn't have a "unique" point that impresses me or the signature just doesn't suit my preference. It is definitely one of the most comfortable pair of headphones I've tried due to the big ear cups and high quality velour pads. The fact that it has a non-intrusive sound and provides a comfortable wearing experience make it a great pair of headphones for long hours usage.

It's still a very good pair of headphones, not to mention that with some easy mod you can turn this into the HD598  nod.gif

i read a lot review almost same v ur comment. adios amigo~ i actually preferred HD555 (u know lah), HD558 r suitable & comfort if wearing for long hrs. i'm not bassy guy but with missing treble doesn't sound so pleasant 2 me. my wallet damn tight if go for HD6XX would be better. currently i'm not interested with mod. sound leakage is common issue for open headphones. u got other recommended? i'm just new entry level. i rmb yrs ago my room-mate owned HD555 it really impressed me. he's also ex-lyn user & he sold it to bought 2nd AKG K701.

- My Rig: iPhone 4/ macbook air 2011 11"/ PC (windows)
- Type of usage: music/ video editing
- File format: mp3/m4a/
- Music genre: pop, rock, most current hits
- Budget: 200 - 500, though i'd prefer to spend on the lesser side, 500 is my max
- Headphone/ earphone type: Headphone (I hate IEM and earbuds)
- Other requirements (if any): Since iphone4 and macbook air both got bluetooth capability, a bluetooth headset would be a bonus at this price range. kinda like the looks of some of these huge headsets (beats for example) but most of them kinda too expensive..

I'm in KL tomorrow, so I wanna shop for it tomorrow, so speedy recommendations are appreciated, thanks.

If you like the 555 you should also like the 558 too as it's generally agreed that the 558 is an improved version of the 555. Don't take my "missing treble" seriously because it's rather hard to complement the treble of HD558 for someone who listens to B2(DBA-02). The treble is there but it doesn't give me the "wow" feeling.

It's hard to recommend when you don't state your genre of music, your budget and overall sound signature preference but you will have a lot more choices if you're buying from the EU, audio equipments there are generally cheaper and more accessible.
