New user with a question

Welcome to Head-Fi!

It'd help to know what you plan on using your headphones for (genres of music, gaming, movies, etc), cause there are a lot of good phones in your price range. I haven't had experience with the ones you mentioned, but there are many that I could suggest, depending on what you're looking for.

Also, do you have a DAC or an amp, or are the phones going to be used straight out of your computer/music player?

Welcome

You could look for AKG 240's, could fit your description (I think you can get it for under 150 usd, but I'm not sure, I'm in EU)

Grado's don't have flat sound

If Grado's aren't flat...what would you call the AKG 240?

Grado SR80i's do well with rock and alternative IMO. Decent bass and fantastic mid and high range.

I'm looking for a full size set of headphones. I have looked at the Grado SR80i's and the AKG K141 MkII. Anyone have experience with those two or have any other suggestions it would be much appreciated.]

 

Thanks

I'd call them more neutral then Grado's, AKG style sound, but with some bass and probably under 150 usd.

Grado's are more fun though, you know I'm a Grado fanboy Arm.

I know...I was just sayin'...and bustin' your chops a little. I agree...Grado is anything but neutral. 

Well I will throw the hd595 in the mix. It has some bass but not a much... sounds decent out of a mp3 player, computer like you want, but it has long cord...

Given your sound preference, you might also want to read up on Audio Technica AD700.
