First post but have a researched question

Hey all ive been reading the forums for the past few days trying to get an idea on what headphones i should buy.

i recently went into a bestbuy and tried on some beat solo's. THAT instantly turned me into a so-call "audio-phile" so i hit the internet

trying to find the best deal on them. but after doing some research ive come to the conclusion that they are very overpriced and if you

are going to spend 200 bucks you could get a better pair. After doing even more research i found the Grado SR225i in my price range

(looking to spend 150-250) but before i spend 180 bucks on some headphones i wanted to get someone elses opinion from these

forums since there seems to be a lot of knowlegeable people here.

I mainly listen to rock/reagge/rap/hip-hop/indie/ and some different generes of "techno". so im going to want some headphones that

have that great bass kick (like the beats i tried on in best buy) but can also sound good when im listening to rock. So i was wondering

if you all think i should go with the Grados, or should i look into something else? the bass is pretty important to me but so is sounding

clean when i listen to non bass heavy music

p.s. i was also thinking about getting a headphone amp, anyone have any suggestions in that field?

All opinions are welcome!! if you have any questions for me just ask!

okay thanks! i will look into those.

yeah i get that impression :P so it sounds like those are the best all around headphone?

im sure true audophiles have different headphones for different types of music :D haha

i wish my pockets were that deep but arent unfortunatly :[

thanks for the response im sure there are a billion posts just like mine and appreciate the help and advice!

looking forward to youre suggestions austin.

Ive been looking at reviews on the ATH-M50 and they look very promising! i might be getting a pair of those if no one has anything else for me to look at  haha best smiley ever
