It is not that one brand of cans is overall better than another. Rather, you should have 2-3 different cans for different listening purposes. For instance:
Grado 325i for Rush and chamber music
Senn HD650 for Mozart's Requiem and Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here
Westone UM1 for listening to the radio as you're walking about town
(My own set-up so far is 325i, MD5000, Atrio M8 ... and I'll probably order an RS-1 from Headroom in a little while; I would have added HD650 if the clamp didn't kill my rather wide skull)
