new/complementing setup for the office

tl;dr:

Have Q701 and Valhalla at home, want a set for office.

Have second pair of Q701, buy asgard and use at office?

Grado SR80 or SR325?

Do not want AD700/AD900.

Looking for suggestions.

I went through a bit of a phase choosing my first set of cans. i went from SRH840 to ATH-M50s to AD700 to AD900 to SR225 finally to Q701. And I paired my Q701 with a valhalla to boot.

That was for the home, now i want something for the office. I want something that has the same qualities of the Q701 and Valhalla pairing, but I want these new cans to be able to be driven straight off of my iPhone (maybe).

I have another pair of Q701's laying around, that depending on what i decide to do, I may or may not sell.

I'm looking at some grados', namely the sr80, or sr325. But i ultimately want an around-ear headphone, so if i got grado's i would probably get the PS1000 earpads.

Alternatively, I might pick up an Asgard and use that with my second pair of Q701's in the office (I dont think this would be that bad of an idea, but i definitely want some variety).

I dont want another pair of AD900's, as i found them to be too analytical, and the midbass and bass were lacking.

Any Suggestions?

i do find that the q701's lack in the rock section.

But i have a ton of variety when it comes to music. I did try my uncle's 15 year old SR225's and i thought they were warm, with full mids and bass, with punch. but they were a tad muddy when it came to the details.

the challenging thing is that these 2 setups are going to be discrete, and independent, they will never meet each other. It means that I don't want something to A-B all the time.

price is also a factor too.

an asgard is cheaper than sr325's. But if i go the asgard route, do i buy a lyr for home, and bring the valhalla to work? or keep the valhalla at home, and get the asgard for work.

too many choices.

What else would you recommend?

i bought an asgard for the office :D
