1/ I would say neutral or warm. I have had headphones of both types and alternated between them.
2/ Rock, altrock, vocal/folk, metal, some classical. 

ATH ckr9, ckr10, I'm-50/70/02/03

Even more bass, and realistic timbres JvC, FX750/850.

I would actually avoid the Titan 1, its bright, fatiguing and leaks a lot of sound. If the JVC isn't as bright, might fit his preferences better and its only what like 60 bucks brand new?

+1.

Chramko You listen to similar music to me, I agree with above...I found them not only bright but just 'off' up top, didn't sound natural at all. They are also recessed in the mids, guitars are way back in the mix, but obviously this may be your preference.

Phonak Audeo PFE012 or PFE112 - both with grey filters. We listen to similar music and that's what I chose in this budget.

The Macaw is pretty epic. The fit can be a bit finicky but with the right tip and filter they sound incredible. KC06a is no slouch either. Both are very good buys IMHO.

I'm gna simmer on this and get back to you guys later this afternoon. I'm at work right now.

PS, I am going to be getting the new Macaws in as well along with the Sidy DM4 in a week or two. I'm very excited to hear both.

Cheers fellas

Yeah, I meant to edit that comment but lost internet connection.

Wanted to note that both of those options were on the brighter side, but are outstanding with the genres listed.

The FXH30 starts off bright, but after putting a large number of hours on them they've really mellowed out. They have a nice warmth to them that is missing on the Titans, which is just one of a few reasons why I prefer them.

new Macaw? Do tell more

 

[Inszy]

GT100s need lots o power to sound great. And I mean it - lots and lots of power. Fiio X5, xDuoo X3 or iFi iDSD Nano, it's not enough. With them Macaws sounds pretty good, but nothing close to epic in this price.
But I plugged them to stationary hybrid amp and guys... WOW!

customizable shell color? Thats pretty cool, very much like the westone W series iems. Looking forward to these. Are they still metal or did they chance it to something else?

 

[Selenium]

Metal. No idea what they're going to sound like, but the GT100 is so good I'm not terribly worried.
