I have a pair of Grado SR-80's. They provide smooth natural sound, but sadly have proven to be brittle and therefor lack portability. I just shipped 'em back to Grado as the rod has worked itself loose from the left can. Any suggestions on a pair of over-ear headphones that are durable and provide a strong driver as I mainly use an iPod or computer? I would spend up to 350 dollars, but no more than that. Thanks

Consider a simple Fiio E11 as well.
Very best,
