A friend of mine is looking for headphones in about 200$ budget. He's currently considering senn 558s. Mainly listens to jam bands (dead etc), some jazz and some classic rock, most of the times live shows though, no mp3s, almost always flacs. headphones need to be forgiving enough to play...

I am from india and mainly into home audio and diy. Just getting started with headphones. Hope to learn and contribute here in the long run. Music tastes include classic rock, blues, jazz, western classical, indian classical.   Headphone Gear: So far I have the koss porta pro headphones...
