Was weighing up this version or the ATH-WS55i one but have heard that differences in sound quality are minimal so may as well go for the cheaper model, so hope they are a worthy upgrade to my very poor iGrado headphones which have been causing me some right issues!

That AT should sound really good. The description at the link says the earpads are oval, yet the photos show a perfectly round earcup.

I have the WS55i which I use as a portable headphone and it's not bad at all for the price and the music I listen to.  Good choice.
