I've decided that it's about time I upgrade my portable audio setup and make it a much better listening experience since this is where most of my listening takes place. I would appreciate it if somebody could recommend me a headphone with good bass and treble extension that would provide accurate drum reproduction, particularly for metal (sludge, death metal, progressive metal, melodic metal, power metal, etc.). I currently own a pair of Grado SR325is which I love for guitar-based genres, but I've been expanding my interest in metal lately and feel that adding realism to drumming would be a great focus for my portable setup. So sound stage, imaging, tight bass, and sharp treble are qualities I am looking for. I've decided that I'll use Rockbox with FLAC audio files on my iPod through a line-out-dock to a Fiio E11 since that amp is relatively cheap ($65) at a local store. Any suggestions on a headphone that would work well for what I am looking for? Preferably a headphone with a decent mid-range so I won't feel so out of place opposed to my Grado's. Thanks for the read. I like headphones such as the Sennheiser HD650 if this significant, so I'm not opposed to a laid-back, dark sound if it has good detail.
