AKG K550 MkII vs. Sennheiser HD25

[TheCaptain53]

So after finding out that my Sennheiser Urbanites had a broken pin only a couple of days after opening it, I have decided to return them (I got it as a gift). As such, I will be purchasing some different headphones.

I have mainly been looking at getting a pair of AKG K550 MkII headphones, which appear to be highly reviewed and look very comfortable. I'll be pairing this with a ModMic and I'm good to go. However, my friend has suggested I should go for the Sennheiser HD25. They're smaller and doen't look as comfortable, plus, I'm still a little sore with Sennheiser about the poor design of the Urbanite. The two pairs are about the same price.

Can someone shed some insight on this matter? I'm also open to suggestions of other headphones, just nothing crazy in terms of price. Let's set a cap of £120.

What's the use case? Is it for on the go or just home use?

 

Also keep in mind that the HD25's are on-ear and the K550 are over-ear.
