For the Grado I know that they are generally known for being exceptional for rock, but otherwise does it hurt the quality of music for other genres? Should I eliminate it based on the fact that I want a more balanced headphone?
Another thing with the Koss PortaPro that gets me is that with it I could technically afford a cheap amp, such as a Fiio if that would boost it's sound quality.
Currently my circumstances is that I'm looking for headphones that I'd feel comfortable with in public (so sound leakage could be an issue), and preferably either 1) durable enough to store in a bag 2) foldable to put in a carry case or 3) detachable cable for easy wear around the head/neck. Music I listen to are generally Japanese anime music.
The Porta Pro sounds great for the price, but isn't very sturdy and will leak. The AKG has an OK build and will leak a bit--if that will work for you it's a good choice. The Shure is a good can in this class (at least as good as the Sony) that is very solidly built and is closed. The Grado leaks a great deal and has comfort issues for many.
You may also want to take a look at the KRK KNS6400, is its available to you.
