I have a pair of Grado SR-80s that have done me well for several years, but of course they have an open design so my coworker is able to hear my music. I'm looking for a decent set of closed headphones to use in the office, for ~$200-250 or so. I mostly listen to metal, and don't really want something with super-heavy bass. Just looking for something with good frequency response, soundstage, etc. Portability is not a concern, as I would just be using these at the desk, although I would like something with a decently long cord (but not the super thick cord that the Grados have).
I have a PA2V2 amp: http://www.electric-avenues.com/audio8.html but could consider investing in another amp if it would be a huge improvement.
It seems like the Audio-Technica ATH-M50 are right around my budget and have great reviews. I also see the ATH-M50x which is slightly more expensive - how do these compare?
