I own both the AKG 550 and AT900 headphones and was surprised no ones mentioned the Audio technic 900s, they are perhaps one of the most popular and top closed headphones going.
Very nice cans, ok isolation, comfy nice large wide sound stage and mids and vocals clear and bright and happy cans.
K550s much better isolation, just as comfy and a better build/durable looking cans, accuracy is better with the K550s also, sound stage is impressive but not as big as the A900s.
Both very good headphones, Id be half tempted to sell the A900s but there the jacks iffy and one pads gone so ill just keep them for now besides least I can do more comparisons.
Im using the K550s for now simply since of the noise isolation factor... far better then the A900s its night and day difference.
Id love to go Open headphones when I borrowed a mates Senn HD595s I was blown away and I cant recall but I belive my music sounded much better with the issue that everyone in the house could hear it also....
Perhaps for those days when its quiet and no ones around Open headphones may favour !
For now I dont think you can go wrong with the K550 or the Audio Technics A900s
