Default If you had to replace HD 580 headphones...

I found the ATH-M50 much more coloured than the HD 580. Better
than all closed headphones I've tried, but unfortunately far
from being as neutral and fatigue-free as the HD 580. Other
problems include :
- the pressure make my jaw hurt after a while,
- nasty coiled cord hanging off the left can,
- mediocre isolation.

Still, they're my least-hated closed headphones for short runs.
For long periods, I have to go back to the AKG K271 that sound
far worse but do not physically HURT me.
