The best is very subjective. I like Musical Fidelity V-Can MK-II.

My genre listening range tends to be all over the place, I mainly listen to alt rock/classic rock/electric. oh and the occasional jazz track here and there and even hip hop I suppose. I'm open to all suggestions, I just hope we can all come to some conclusion on the best headphone all around for under 200 although it may be quite opinionated I suppose.
Source is probably from, an iPod classic or Galaxy s2 if I don't have my iPod but that's fairly rare, I would prefer something circumaural and for the time being I don't really have the funds for an amp, although I will probably buy a Fiio E11 in the next week or two if that helps, and balance is key not neccesarily boring, but bass heavy and sibilance is a definite turn off even if everything else is perfect on the cans. hope that helps narrow it down a bit. I really only need minor isolation, because background noise doesn't really bug me too much ^_^
I'm in a closed off corner office with a door to it, they don't leak that bad do they? :O
I'm pretty ecletic too.. so I ended buying the Senn 558's for stuff like classical and certain rock genres, and I picked up a Audio Technica m50s for when i listen to hip hop and electronic.. Both are actually amazing for most genre's, but each has its strengths and weaknesses.
Honestly for your main genres Grados may be the way to go!
