On the sound, you should also be able to notice that, while the bass isn't as boisterous as it is on the m50's, it should have better detail. In general, I find the m50's sound much, "rounder", than the k553's; kickdrums on the m50's, "whump", versus a more defined, "thump", on the k553's, for example. Really, the k553's should sound clearer across the whole range compared to the m50's.
I know I'm harassing the boards a lot. I'm researching online, but the waters are pretty muddy when it comes to this stuff....
The long answer, however, is that these are very different cans, and there is a lot to like about the k553's over the q701's. For starters, I'm actually not a big fan of the natural sound signature of the q701's, and have invested a large amount of time equalising them to suit my preference (here's a visualisation:
). The 2k range makes vocals a bit brassy for me, the 6k range makes snare drums and chimes too bright, ~8.5k is bizarrely quiet, sibilance over 10k is death to me... you get the idea. Really this is fixing my own hearing as much as fixing the headphones; the effect my ears get from this is a relatively smooth crescendo all the way from the lowest audible frequencies up to around 10k, then fading out from there--I doubt it would sound the same to anyone else. By contrast, the only issues I have with the k553 sound sig is that I like a little bit more 4k range to give a some more accent to electric guitars and female vocals, and 10k sibilance still murders me (less than with the q701's though). IMO, the k553's have a more amiable and less fatiguing sound signature than the q701's, which makes them much easier to use across devices, especially with their relatively low impedance. The closed design and the way if affects the sound, however, is a fundamental difference that the k553's just can't overcome, as hard as they try (they do sound fairly, "open", for closed phones--better than the m50's, that's for sure).
So while I prefer the q701's with my desktop, I do find them a very finicky set of cans, and I'd be very afraid to plug them into anything else. The k553's, on the other hand, are a lot less picky, and I use them with everything that isn't my desktop (my phone, my 3ds, etc...). If I had to choose based on the natural sound signature, I'd probably end up going with the k553's, but with EQ'ing as an option, I can't resist the open soundstage of the q701's. I suppose I should make it clear that these are just personal opinions with regards to the sound signatures, and others might very well prefer the natural sig of the q701's to the k553's; my ears just don't.
In all fairness, though, if I stepped on them both, I am pretty sure the K553 would be more likely to survive intact, but the M50s *feel* sturdier to me. Purely subjective of course.
That said, I do really like these cans. I wish it had a detachable cord and/or an option for a squiggle cord. I haven't spent enough time with them to comment on the sound quality, but it seems like the sound is better than the M50s overall, although the lows may not be up to snuff, I don't know, I need to listen to them a little more and fully break them in before I jump to any conclusions.
Also when you switch earpads in headphones, you're always trading away a part of sonic accuracy for comfort. Some may not notice it, or some may just be imagining things, but it's impossible to just slap on a pair of better earpads and suddenly get better sound.
While it's true that the soundstage may become more open, you'll be trading it for more muddied bass, less sharper trebles, and so forth.
