OK. I know there are tons of threads and reviews about $150-200 headphones but there isn't any threads about classical rock and hard rock performances (led zeppelin, guns n roses, the beatles, ac/dc, queen...) So i think the best headphones for $150-200 are ath-m50, HFI-580 and srh-840 but which one of them is best for classical rock and hard rock. I am not going to be listening to electro, trance, hip-hop and that kind of music. The headphones are going to be just for rock music and rarely dubstep.
 
Any suggestions are appreciated.
 
BTW; sorry for my English.

Go with the M50's. They have awesome bass for rock music, and have great quality sound.

Try grado's.

I probably will go with the m50. Thank you for your suggestions.

I think the hd25 could be better for rock. The portability is a plus but the comfort is not for everyone. I haven't heard the m50s so can't comment on that.

It's a little more expensive than m50s and looks very uncomfortable. But if its sound quality is better who cares, right? I will look for some reviews about m50 vs hd25.

Just be sure you're OK with recessed mids if you go with the M50.

Go Grado for rock.

It's still in your price range. \m/
 
You'll find the basic edition for $150-165. Cheaper if you look harder. Of course the M50 is still at least $ 20-30 cheaper. I don't think you'll go wrong with either though.
 
Here's the adidas version for $175

Check out the deals thread too. There seems to be refurb DT 770 Pros going for $110 on eBay.

Grado SR225, Sennheiser HD25 II, V-Moda M-80, Audio Technica ATH M50 in that order for rock.

Here is the problem: I live in Turkey. I can hardly find a m50 around here and can't buy from amazon because if it is over $50 it can't pass the border. It is a law (a stupid one). So I have to find a headphone in Turkey and it is really really hard. People around here think beats is the best headphones ever. But I will look for them. If I find any Grado SR225s I will go with them. 
 
Lastly; does grado SR225 have forward mids and enough lows and highs.

Oh I forgot to say. Sound leakage and isolation is very important for me. I will use the headphones outside. On the bus, train and mostly at my school.
 
And BTW I looked at grado reviews and it seems to have GREAT mids but it lacks at bass department. Normal highs I guess. I know mids are more important for rock music but don't I need bass.

The Grado SR 225i has good bass, but it's not for bassheads.  The problem for you is that is open and leaks a great deal.

In the U.S. the closed Shure SRH 840 is about the same price as the M50.  It's more balanced--has great mids and a mid bass hump.  Originally it cost almost twice as much as the M50.  It's a better choice if you want a balanced sound--if you can get it.
