Can try Fischer Audio Consonance or Sennheiser CX300ii
Is the AKG K550 a worthy upgrade from ATH-M50?

I like the sound of the M50, but would like to try something new once in a while. Wondering if the K550 will give a noticeable improvement before I take out my wallet.
Do try it out but I find it more refined compared to the M5 =)

The SE215 is a good choice and once of the cheapest for something with detachable cable.

Fischer Eterna or Fischer Consonance

Eterna's shell is quite large but still pretty comfortable
