Hi,
I want a headphone which is best for all kinds of ROCK music. My budget is $250-350 !

And of these two...225i by a big margin for me!
 
I thought I was upgrading from my 225i to 325is...boy was I wrong.

most will say grado, i say sennheiser HD650 and a good amp.

I've read that the Sennheiser HD-25-1 II are also highly recommended for rock, these are closed cans with decent isolation, btw.

What equipment will you be plugging into? 
 
And do you need headphones only for home use - or also for portable use?

I think Grados are the most suitable for what you are looking for as well

 

[jasonb]

all that was stated was that he listens to rock music. that really means that grados are the right choice? really? thats it?
 
i listen to rock and i know that i would hate the grado sound.

Grados aren't for every rock fan. Just a quick question...which Grados have you heard?

 

[xXFallenAngelXx]

sr60s and sr225
I thought they sounded great but the highs were kinda bright and fatiguing after a while at least for me

 

[jasonb]

i haven't actually heard a pair but i can tell from the way they are talked about that i wouldn't like them. i prefer bass over treble. i definitely don't like a sound that has more treble than bass.
 

 
that definitely is not my style.

Like I saw to my kids: "you listen with your ears".

 
I'd give them a try first before commenting on them. Yes the graphs can be helpful, but I find they are ONLY helpful when listening to said headphones. I did own the HD650s...and both the SR225i and especially RS1s trounced them with rock.
 
Have a look at this:

One might actually think that the K701s have more bass than the D7000s. NOTHING could be further from the truth. The D7000s will loosen up your tooth fillings their bass is so powerful, while the K702s will always leave you wanting more bass.
 
I was watching "It Might Get Loud" on Blu Ray one evening about a year ago with my HD650s (and I am a HUGE Jimmy Page fan) and fell asleep. The HD650s were just so...blah IMO. I popped on my RS1s and really enjoyed the rest of the documentary to its fullest.

i understand what you're saying, but i just hate to see that anytime someone mentions rock music that right away grado is the one and only way to go. i am sensitive to treble and i like deep bass, so grado is not the way to go for me.

Give them a try...you might be surprised....but then again, you might not.
