Listening for a while though and the k518 stock pads have a nice sound with alternative music that the 595 pads cant do.

HD518 + HD595 ear pads = just as good as the DT250-250 in general or different?

I am curious...

The dt250-250 is without a doubt more neutral to my ears. The senns are more dynamic and spacious however and gives more of an audiophile stunt show so to speak :D I would be happy with either of them TBH

and by the way, in the end... the stock pads just work better overall

I enjoy the HD555 immensely witch measures similarly to the HD518 only slightly flatter and better if you ask me. I wish they continued the Production of the HD555, for sale used its anyway a real bargain for the price.

Based on that HeadRoom plot, it may seem that the HD555 is closer to the HD558 than the HD518. Dunno about distortion tho, and would have to hear the HD555s to make any judgement.
