Well they say HD 555 is an all-rounder kinda headphone, suitable for most types of music and can sound good without amp.
While you need an amp for the AD700 to fully shine. Same goes with SR80.

Clarity is so-so much but bassheads won't be disappointed with the bass-level, tho it can be a little bit muddy at times. I never tried EP630 before so dunno how they compare.

Yea, I can assure you that the JBL will outperform ur EP630, although the bass is not so strong but it's in control. Mids and highs no doubt the JBl is better than the 630, however, the weakness is that i think it's impedance is quite high so you will need to push the volume higher a bit. around 75% when I'm using it on my iPod touch.

The iPod family is ady not very gd in term of SQ and yet the shuffle is said to hv the worst SQ of the iPod series. Sry to say this but it's true. Also, the bass while pairing with iPod won't be strong one even with my Sennheiser IE8, because I tried the Sennheiser IE8 on the Sony S series jus now and I did notice a huge increased in the bass.

But i've compared Sony with iPod regarding bass using SoundMAGIC PL20 which is bass-light, and find that the bass presentation on the Sony is better than the iPod.

I like PL11 (~RM60) + E5 combo for the bass. I think JVC HA-FX33 (~RM50) Kramer Mod has good trebal and bass (excellent value). Btw, I think basshead would not appreciate PL20.

EP-630 blends up all the instrumentation, and the seperation is bad.
Listening song with many instrument makes it sounds very noisy~

but the bass of EP630 is powerful. it's suitable for who like the deep bass.
