I'd vote for the Grado line. Sennheiser makes great cans too, but they just don't have that Grado sound.
I've been using the 225's because I think they're a great value. If I was going to go any higher in the line-up, I'd shoot all the way up to the RS1's just because the incremental sound improvement gets smaller as you move up towards the top.
Grado has spoiled me completely. I just don't enjoy listening to other headphones and I haven't been able to look at my home stereo the same way since I plugged them into a Shellbrook Audio Pimeta.
