better than SRH750? try ATH M50/AD700/A500, Sennheiser HD518/HD558, Beyerdynamic DT770

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) 

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 

OT: adios means goodbye.. Maybe you meant gracias?
