I have the grados and the sennheisers both and I have to say that while the Senns are not bad for rock and metal, the grados totally blow them out of the water with their forward mids, and sweet warm "hummpy" bass tones. Here is my only grip with the grados, they beg to be cranked and oh how sweet they sound when they are, but I suffer a case of ear ringing every time I listen to grados for more than half an hour, so they had to go. If you have the self control not to crank up the volume, then I'd say get the grados. Other wise get the senns, which is certainly not a compromise when you have the right amp. They still hold up to the worlds best headphones. Oh wait, they are the world's best headphones.....
